Korg 70, 000 BC

[BeingOStupid]

Mara!!! That is one ugly bitch. Heee heee hee

[TimelordR]

This show was actually reran on TNT? How did i manage to miss this? Thanks for the video!

[zapkvr]

Ah The Pneguin. He was amazing wasn't he. Seriously, Burgess Meredith was a giant. I saw him in Search as well as Batman.

[jwbullardxxiii]

Damn those neolithic bras.

[mwillblade]

Looks like my Mexican girlfriend's family .

[GarthanSaal444]

I never had a clue this show even existed until now, and I turned 6 back in 1974.

This show was obviously an attempt to cash in on 2001: A Space Odyssey.

That young tiger looked like it was just playing around.

[Churruminonian]

Humans beings are just monkeys, specially those from the USA

[shmuli9]

@Churruminonian That has to be one of the stupidest things (and one runs across MANY stupid things online) I've ever seen anybody post...

[TheGodParticle]

Didn't that Korg caveman guy go on to invent the synthesizer?

[opusrideshoot]

For cavemen/women, they sure had a terrific set of teeth!

[Pynaegan]

@opusrideshoot They didn't have Hershey bars or Coke-a-cola. Just like when people exclaim "How did ancient people build pyramids or Stone Henge!?" I always answer with "They didn't have television or football".

[mistofoles]

"Catch more amazing adventures"?? I didn't catch anything in this clip!

[dgb751]

humans are moving in, well, there goes the neighborhood.

[SilliVivi]

lol...they just ran around a park in LA

[kodiakfred140]

You couldn't have this on TV now because of all the bs controversy about evolution here in the US. Boy are some of my countrymen thick-headed!

[davidls11]

@kodiakfred140 So much so that most of them wouldn't even get your pun.

[HerrEllsworth]

I have dim memories of this show. What I do find interesting was that the producers tried to give a more "modern" appraisal of how neanderthal man might have been, more intelligent than he was previously given credit for. Neanderthal man was quite successful in his own history, reigning for over 200,000 years. We are close to meeting that record so we can't say we're more successful yet.

[CaesiusX]

Thanks for putting this up! It is just another one of those things I've randomly come across, and I am so glad I did as it reminds me of things from my youth that I really don't ever want to forget... Like Micronauts!

[happyfuzzfroggie]

I think I see a Geico commercial in their future

[v2vroth]

Wow flashback. I had the Korg luchbox in 2nd grade...

[yaywhewclips242]

remember the wolf boy was it Wokan Wopan (on ABC prime time 1977)??

[AVDPhoenix]

OMG!!!! I totally forgot about this great show!!!!!!!! Love it!!!!!

[Guernicaman]

Live-Action version of The Flintstones?

[phillydisco]

I think one of their descendants invented the KORG synthesizer.  :)

[coffee396]

Never heard of this show.

[jayvision41]

I haven't seen this show in something like 35 years! Korg 70,000 BC was one of those things that made me want to learn about ancient history when I was a kid. I'd like to find this series on DVD if available.

[themanacting]

@jayvision41 Please keep writing and I am sure Warner Brothers will try to put out the movie version on DVD. It started in 1974 on ABC-TV, then TNT,I enjoyed starring as TANE and then since we were near a McDonalds we all walked in with spears with our Sunday best and almost got arrested. I still have the picture of the cop putting me in the PoliceCar. I will post it soon. The shows (16 )was not teaching Evolution it had a disclaimer at the end saying " it might have happened.

[skeaneable]

@themanacting wasn't the movie 10,000 B.C enough?

[themanacting]

[TheMortalhuman]

@themanacting I absolutely loved this show back in the 70's. I remember making a "water skin" out of an inner tube and playing caveman at school with other members of my "tribe". I think it may have been the first time I had seen cavepeople on television and I loved how each week they would make some basic discovery to help them survive. Congrats on your part in it. Its amazing that I am able to write to someone who starred in a show that I loved .I want it on DVD!

[Ruthenya]

Never heard of this one. Looks like the kind of thing I would have loved as a kid, though.

[StuntmanJackR]

This must of been eons ago beause there is not any station logo in the lower right hand corner of the screen. I remember this being on ABC when I was little but I do not remember if I watched it on a regular basis or not.

[fjccommish]

@StuntmanJackR At the end is a bumper for TNT, so this showing was from reruns on cable.

[Attila709]

didn't one of these guys end up solving crimes with three teen angles?

[joeyvader]

I've NEVER heard of this show...I love all of the cave-man names...would it have killed them to have slipped a "Kevin" in there...???

[v2vroth]

Had the lunchbox when I was a kid..

[lunchmeat400]

I think i used to live next to this family in Panamma City Fl.

[altha2008]

lol just as long as it was not anyone form altha florida lol

[KronprinzAdam]

If you check "BBc's documentary Walking with apemen" (aired also in Discovery Channel"), it looks like a tribute to Korg!!

[MisterMisanthrope]

Kooooorg!

[kd4adv]

KORG

Sounds more like a Klingon name.

[viletantrum]

KORG,

Your family needs a make over.

[barnstormer4]

Remember when TNT used to show cool classic shows like this one? 'Maya', 'Jamie McPheeters', 'Man from U.N.C.L.E.', a whole slew of them ripe for the taping. These days their programming is nothing but crap. Too bad there isn't a channel that would pick up what my generation (and those older and slightly younger) fondly remember.

[greg6363]

When Ted Turner bought the MGM library as well as Hanna-Barbera, he utilized those libraries to program TNT at its inception. You can only show those older titles so many times before diminishing returns set in. Now that all of these properties are owned by TimeWarner, I doubt you'll see them again.

[FUBUXGEAR]

same exact thing happend on cartoon network.

[GlitterMike]

So this is what those cavemen did before they became spokespersons for Geico.

Just kidding. I remember this show too.

[tammy7070]

This was my all time favourite show as a little girl. Like I mean I would so look forward to Saturday mornings just to watch it. I wanted to be a cave girl! and still want to be a cave girl! Well I'm a zookeeper now so close enough.

[Shawnster65]

I remember Korg just as well..in fact it was one of the shows I was thinking about looking up here at Youtube. It shows me you can find anything here.

I also remember not getting to see the last episode because I was forced to go to church!

The show was narrated by Burgess Meredith *aka The Penguin* on the 1960's Batman TV series.

I haven't seen a clip of this show in like, 30 years! Thanks 70sKidVid!

[mubirshu]

The kids in my neighborhood made spears & had spearthrowing matches thanks to this show. My mom hated the conch shell-type horn in the intro & made me turn it down all the time.

I remember a scene with Mara not wanting to cross a river, saying, "No, the white water will take us!" and another one about someone getting bitten by a tarantula and having hallucinations. I knew that was inaccurate even back then.

Still, it was the 1st show to tell kids that cavemen didn't live with dinosaurs.

[34D2234]

nothing is funnier than ringo star's Caveman

[tonsils]

uh yeah. did they speak some proto-indo-european dialect or was it in American Midland circa 1975? Just a curious linguistics student looking for an answer...

[zillionairemark]

..it's about time Oasis had their own tv show.

[GlynnyrdSkynyrd]

LMFAO!!

[tintindwarf]

ouch

[noahsarcooo]

i work in a shop where Liam comes to do his shopping!

He must be a big fan of this show judged by his behaviour!

[drwhostardis]

@zillionairemark  hahahahahhahhahahahahahahahaha­hahahahhahahahahh!!!!

NO SHIT!!!!!!

[mikeadk]

Love the confused looks on the family's face at the beginning. Must have been wondering how they were going to hape the future of mankind.

[HeadNtheClouds]

I dont remember this one. I can't belive Hanna/Barbarra was involved in this. I loved their cheesy cartoon characters & Scooby Doo is my favorite.

[MGHSHour2]

The HB Box Was Cut Off

[josecoto85]

THE CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR....same kind of ...well nonsense money and time waste. Altough, Daryl Hannah was pretty hehe

[Dogsledfan]

I wish that this show had lasted longer. Had a good premise and was actually somewhat educational too.

[RedwoodTheElf]

You can be sure THESE guys wouldn't be selling car insurance...they'd be out hunting down the Aflac Duck for dinner!

[altha2008]

Took 70,000 years to come from that lol

right

[cassandracollins]

If you are not in the age group don't bother to comment. This was one bizarre attempt at educational Sunday morning tv thanks to ABC! I can't believe the misinformed dorks on You Tube-thank you guys which cleared up the idiot's comments!

[KojiRecords]

I found this clip while surfing, OMG, yes I remember this show, one episode in general where an eclipse was thought of as an evil omen while one of the characters was trying to get the "kooba root" antedote for his poisoned daughter. Hanna-Barbera live forever, love these guys and all at NB Productions, you all made so many kids very, very happy.

[Rodan812]

I had a Korg lunchbox too ! Just saw a picture of it online. Korg .. awesome bro ! Korg is da bomb !!!

[ejergens]

I LOVED this show, I had a KORG lunchbox!!

[Beaushan]

What's a lunchbox???

Just kidding! hee hee.

[evolnieveilebi]

I'm 37 and I remember the faces more than I remember the premise. I know I had a coloring book, too! I vaguely recall the eeriness of the theme music. Did I really catch an episode or two of this show on Saturday or even Sunday morning?

[GoblinXXX]

I always saw it on Sunday: It was either this or JOT. I remember one episode where they discover salting their meat when the tide almost carries it out to sea.

[altha2008]

lol took over 70,000 years for men to come from that right lol

[spikelilgirl]

I barely remember this show.  When was it on?

[JLD1964]

It was an easy rip off from The Land of the Lost. Glad this didn't last because it was so boring!! Land of the Lost ran 5 years with a strong cult following into the 90's with a short lived re-make starring Keenan McCalkin.

[MasterJediDude]

JLD1964, you're an idiot. This was NOT a rip-off of "Land of the Lost." I didn't see dinosaurs, Sleestaks, or the Marshalls in this show, so your comparison is irrelevant. And "Land of the Lost" ran for 3 seasons, not 5. It was syndicated and re-runs went on for years. And the remake of LotL was WEAK and moronic. Korg was a good show for its time, as was the original LotL, but they were completely different shows.

[KojiRecords]

You can be kindly excused for your mistaken information, MasterJediDude is correct, not about you being an idiot but just misinformed with where Korg emerged on TV: Korg was different in that attempted and was successful at being educational as well as entertaining in 30-minute episodes aimed at children, pre-teens and teens, this was not for adults. Korg was not a primetime, 60-minute entertainment show. You and MasterJediDude shake hands and make up, I will make us some "Funyums," remember?

[firetaker25]

This show tries to be as realistic and honest as it can be for that time, and considering it's for kids about human history. It also shows how people, even ancient people, may have had much in common in social terms with modern man.

[firetaker25]

I loved this show. Something about it was so pure at that time.

[firetaker25]

Wow! I forgot about this show! I think this was my favorite of all. It had almost no words to it. It seemed so avant garde at the time. It made me feel like an adult at the time. I was 6 years old!

[altha2008]

this one i hardly remember

what about the other season land of the lost after the orginal went off

with the family that has the suv

[SardonicusRexx]

Jack Hannah learned everything he knows about wildlife from this show.

[CreativeCritisizm]

I remember this beginning, but I was usually made to go outside and play and not sit in all day watching tv.

[firestorm63a]

"Geico! So easy a caveman can do it!"

LOL!

[zoila17]

oh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[seawind2001]

What is the point to this?

[themanacting]

It is the opening of a TV show that has a colorful montage of various epidodes that was made on location.Hannah Barbera's first live-action series that is filled with adventure and focus is on the struggle for a family's survival during the neanderthal era (Caveman)

[p717]

Got any "Land of the Lost"?

[VJFranzK]

wow, and I thought Korg was just a synthesizer.

[BronzeKnight70]

Never knew this existed, and I thought Id seen everything that HB had put out, I must have been asleep or watching something else

[tvdenny]

I have Korg coloring book and they also came out with mego dolls. Yeah, Alot of people don't remember this show.

[muzikman74]

You can get 2 episodes of this from cartuneman dot com

[animebronx]

that when tv was tv

[ottoskidoo]

christian nyby directed the original THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD...

[gaIIery]

Yeah, directed by the guy who made the original version of The Thing, also coming from one of Star Trek's producers, fred frieberger- and it was a saturday morning kid show. Amazing.

[JustyHakubi]

Haha, you know what I just came across the boardgame of Korg 70,000 BC. That's the reason I am here. As I held the game in my hand the first thing that came to mind was, "so easy a caveman could play it". I don't actually remember this show.

[bishop42962]

I don't remember this show at all. I probably didn't like it.

[speedbuggy]

So easy a caveman can do it!

[handbanana999]

You know how insulting that is? I'm tired off people making fun of the fact I'm a cave man!

[fjccommish]

@speedbuggy Come on, pal, cut it out.

[cubbi1977]

Yeah, me too.

[airons1972]

wish this would come out on DVD. Not seen it in over 25 years, but loved watching it as a kid along with other shows like Isis and Shazam.
