Anyone else remember this obscure and mercifully short-lived series?
I’ve never forgotten it, mainly for the catchy theme song, since clearly I forgot, or didn’t notice due to my youth, just how over the top the humor and absurd some of the details were…
I was very young in 1967. Sad, as the concept has potential without putting cavemen alongside dinosaurs, and without a “bad science” explanation of how they arrived then. Like Planet of the Apes, but to a primitively peopled early past.
For many years this felt like something I remembered that hadn’t really happened, because nobody else seemed to remember it. Hooray for the Internet!
Someone just said to me, it’s about time, and it just clicked into my head. I sang the first two lines in response to his comment. He looked at me like I had gone nuts. So I looked it up and found just the theme and the promo. I do remember watching it, but couldn’t remember who was in it other than Emogene Coca and guy from “Car 54 where are you”. I was about 10 when it was one, and I like it, at least that’s what I remember. It was done by the same guy who did Gilligan’s Island. In fact it was basically the same show, with the same jokes and lines. So Gilligan goes Sci Fi. It is truely amazing, what will just pop into your head at the strangest moments.
