Korg: 70,000 BC (intro)

[jaszam]

Watched this sometime in the 1970s. Recall liking it, but it didn't last very long. 1970s TV. Those were the days ...

[dsrocknroller]

GREAT SHOW! Loved it.

[texasghost]

Everyone was going dinasaur crazy during the 70's and 80's. This show was one of others that were on like Land of the Lost. It came on though late in the morning..and by the time this show was on...I was already ready to go outside and play football or basketball with the neighborhood kids.

[FidelCastro128]

used to have the board game from milton bradley. really poor game

with cards like 'no value card' skin & bones of a fish. Get ne out of this

time warp!

[MONGOOSE1ful]

Well,,it wasn't "THE FLINTSTONES"-but the people at Hanna-Barbera sure had

some unusual ideas back in 1974,,as did ABC's "Funshine Saturday"-although it

had a remarkable concept of Prehistoric survival,"KORG:70,000 BC" just didn't

have the sort of "punch" to make it as a Saturday morning series. and,,do we really

know exactly what sort of language that Primeal man relly used? even though using

Burgess Meredith as a narrator,this didn't go very far! "VALLEY OF THE DINOSAURS" was way better!

[Capt777harris]

How did this show ever get produced? When was it on?

[megashuttlecock]

DVD anytime soon , bootleg?

[shmuli9]

I remember telling my mother that "Auntie Velma looks like Mara" (In retrospect, she doesn't look ANYTHING like her.)

[love2register2]

@shmuli9 lol so great

[BradiKal61]

It was a cool show back in the day. I hope those mopes didn't get paid by the word.

[Taopuppy]

I loved this TV show. I wish someone could post all the episodes.

[theScytheofGod]

Barely remember this, if you hadn't put it up, I wouldn't have ever thought of it again.

[MadEclectic]

I was also a Korg fan - thanks for posting. Ahhhh... Memories. Episodes available anywhere?

[themanacting]

@MadEclectic IHOP SO. LET ME KNOW. THEY DID TAKE SOME EPISODES AND EDITED FOR TV MOVIE ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO

[losemothergoose]

i remember this show i thought it was korg 10.000 years

[whitewitchoz]

This has a spooky desolate vibe.

[shinycat01]

Classic!!! my brother used to watch this after school, I still remember the music :) does anyone know where I can either buy or download a couple of shows?

[TwinkleSpaceGirl]

What the HELL????? I never heard of this..was it cool?

[sroinujacob]

It was mostly educational, it was canceled after 16 episodes in 1975. I remember one episode when a piece of meat was accidentally soaked in the ocean, and when they cooked it, voila!!!, discovery of salt ... good old times!!!

[vonkruge]

I had the lunch box to this show - why didn't I think to save it....

[stonecoldjason]

took 75,000 years to come from that right

[vylets]

What ever happened to Christopher Man?

[themanacting]

Well,considering I used to check this site like never, I only really became a real caveman when Geico started showing one of my relatives on TV recently. This is me acting as TANE over 70,000 B.C. years ago.Our Korg family waited In the Jungle til 1975A.D.We arrived to our Hollywood,Cave which HannaBarbera who along with the

[themanacting]

I just Celebrated my Birthday. After Over 70,000 times of people singing Happy Birthday I was so glad when The BEATLES Wrote that song about " today is your Birthday and its my My Birth Day too " Did you know Ringo is part Caveman Too.And Since I am Literally re-writing History the way I lived it . I am going to tell you that funny guy Mel Brooks is not over 2,000 Years Old.He should eat more of his " Cling Peaches" after all these years I taught him about History and he became a Big Star.

[NewYorkInfo]

Wow. This takes me back. I remember one episode when Tane is kidnapped by a blind cave guy to be his eyes. It turned out that he was only really nearsighted or something like that. I think Tane invented the blind man's walking cane.

How old am I for remembering that?

[TheDemonPazuzu]

I still have my Korg: 70,000 B.C. comic books from Charlton Comics.

[teecayb]

I remember watching Korg (along with the cartoons) on Saturday mornings when I was in the third grade. I loved this show and it was really educational.

[rowham1]

haha me too. i used to come home from school and watch it in the early 80's. I can't remember what the hell any of the episodes were about though. must have been pretty basic.

[thomasdr28]

KORG 70,000 BC: A History of Keyboard Music!

[kristell9]

Fred Freiberger! Star Trek! I knew a star trek guy was involved when I saw the prostetics!

[ssosmcin]

The actress who played Mara (Naomi Pollack) was on a Star Trek episode too. :-)

[themanacting]

[jcnme27]

Oh man I used to love this show!!!!! :)

[ifitfeelsgoodwearit]

Me too. I wish they will make the DVD collection of it someday.

[guaptios]

Holy crap, used to watch this show back in the early 70's--even had the lunchbox--thanks for the post!

[ifitfeelsgoodwearit]

Me too. I wish they will make the DVD collection of it someday. I have 2 lunch boxes. Found them on eBay.

[littlefuzzer]

Dude!! me too.I use to live for this show when I was a kid..and I was also in love with Holly from Land of the Lost.Remember how supper cool it was to have this lunch box and and a GI-Joe( with the kung-fu grip of course)

[buckiemohawk]

for a long time I couldn't remember the name of the show and finally found thanks to wikipedia and some searching when i saw it was the usa kids club and I only saw one show where the got stuck in a cave in

[iwasanangryyoungman]

Better than 10,000 BC, don'cha think???

[GG74K]

mara was totally hot!!!

[drfunk444]

My God!! Im not nuts. This was my favourite show as a kid. It did exist. I mention it to people and they're like "What? ... When?"

Thanks for posting. I loved the episode where they discovered salted meat.

[love2register2]

Someone replied to drfunk444 and I tried to reply to their question but accidentally hit "remove" instead of "reply" - 2nd time I've done that (the other time was when Christopher Man who played Tane on the show posted here! aaargh).

Anyway, to the poster I just deleted: you were asking about the futuristic show with jetpacks, it was Ark II, if you go to 70slivekidvid (.com) you'll find info/youtube links (including link to buy that series on DVD).

[themanacting]

[love2register2]

@themanacting thanks! Hadn't heard about the episodes being made into a movie, will have to check into that. Strange if they don't put them on DVD's if they bothered to re-edit for tv.

[prfu1222]

fight like a caveman rock. thats the only way to beat clubber lang rock.

[cDubbed1]

I remember this now! OMgoodness!

[fearthewrath2000]

It use to come on right before wwf wrestling

[dvdchris]

Awesome to find this on youtube. This series is actually omitted from some TV reference books.

[petejoe67]

i remember this too.,used to get so exited when it starts.

[dwalex97209]

I don't think that I watched this as a kid (it was mostly CBS and NBC Saturday mornings- okay, a bit of Hong Kong Phooey on ABC...).

Judging from this, it appears to make more sense than ABC's forthcoming "Cavemen" sitcom. What was Geico thinking when they gave ABC the rights?

[Actionguy1]

Maybe I was over Saturday Morning programing by the time this show came out, but I've never even heard of it. What year did this show debut? It couldn't have lasted more than a season.

[gymer15]

I watched this as a kid and had no idea burgess the penguin was the narrator. Kept him busy before rocky.

[TangentiallyYours]

I *loved* this show when I was a kid! The one ep that stands out, for some reason, is the one where they find an "old" (how long did a typical Neanderthal live?) man still alive, but already in his grave (basically just on the ground, encircled by stones). He explains that his people left him there because he was too old to be useful. *Sniff*.

[SailorBarsoom]

I can barely remember watching this. There was one with an eclipse, and one where somebody made friends with a wolf.

[plcary]

Fantastic!  I loved that show. Thanks for the memories!

[kascnef82]

I read somewhere this is where they got the idea for those Geico ads featuring a caveman that looks like the characters in that old tv show!!!

[wiftydope]

Cool Post - Long Live Korg!

[Lectronimo]

Here's a bit of trivia for you Korg fans out there: All the "animal" pelts worn by the cavemen in this series were in fact woven from Joe Barbera's back hair.

[BennyProfane]

Sleestaks are better.

[jpowell180]

I remember that one episode where they accidentally dropped their meat in the ocean, and discovered that salty flavor makes their food taste better....

[BaronDixon]

Y'know? That's the one episode that stands out in my mind, too! That and the tarantula--oops, excuse me--ARACHNID bite.

[EarlSnohomish]

Same here! That's the only one that I remember, even though I watched every episode when it ran ABC.

I even had a Korg: 70,000 BC lunch box. :-)

[airons1972]

oh wow, thanks SO much for posting this. I havent seen Korg since the early 80s. It is one of my earlist memories of television and I waish they would release an official DVD of the series.
