Plot Synopsis: This series showed the trials and tribulations of a family in prehistoric times. Unlike the Flintstones, this show wasn't a comedy - Korg was the head of the household, Mara was the wife, and Tane, Tor, and Ree were their children. Some of the stories revolved around the family finding food, dealing with wild animals and other tribes.


Comments: This was one of Hanna Barbera's few attempts at live action Saturday morning programming (others included the Banana Splits and Skatebirds). The show was created and produced by Fred Freiberger, who also produced the final seasons of Star Trek and Space: 1999.
