Korg: 70,000 B.C. is a 30-minute Saturday morning live-action television series created by Fred Freiberger, narrated by Burgess Meredith and produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions which was broadcast on ABC from September 7, 1974 to August 30, 1975.

Korg featured the adventures of a family of Neanderthals during the Ice Age. It was intended to be educational, and was based on the best then-current research about Neanderthal life, except where its situations had to be watered down for a young audience which Hanna, Barbera, and the network feared might be terrified without such expurgation.

A board game of the same title was produced by the US toy company Milton Bradley as a direct tie-in. Charlton Comics published a Korg comic book from May 1975 to November 1976. The series was written and drawn by Pat Boyette, and lasted for 9 issues.

The American Museum of Natural History and The Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History served as consultants to the series.^[1]

The complete series was released by Warner Archive on December 11, 2012.^[2]
