A plaintive hunting horn, heard over a ruddy sunrise, signaled the start of something different on Saturday mornings in the mid-seventies. Clan Korg had arrived to take kids and kids at heart on a series of live-action anthropological adventures across the dangerous terrain of prehistory. Aided by consultants from both New York's American Museum of Natural History and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, Korg ditched battling dinos and discovering fire for a more mature focus on the dawn of cooperation and compassion amongst our Neanderthal brethren as personified by it's pre-nuclear family. Korg is the patriarch of the clan, which includes Mara, his mate; Bok, Korg's younger brother; and Korg's three offspring: Tana, 15; Ree, 12; and Tar, 11. Together, they brave opposing tribes, cave bears and fire while discovering the roots of art, diplomacy and commerce in the world of 70,000 BC. Burgess Meredith narrates.
The Warner Archive is planning on a December 11th release of Korg: 70,000 B.C. - The Complete Series on DVD. This manufacture on demand (MOD) title is priced at $24.95, and is for pre-order now at the WBshop.com online store (see button link below) to U.S. customers only. It's also expected to be available soon to global fans via Amazon's CreateSpace MOD program, too, so stay tuned for that. Here's the packaging:
