Korg: 70,000 B.C.

Season 1

Short-lived Saturday morning live-action series about the daily struggles of an extended family of Neanderthals in prehistoric Europe. Crisp narration by veteran actor Burgess Meredith lent a "documentarian" feel, suggesting that the show was a dramatic re-creation of how life might have been 72,000 years ago.
