  1. #2 is Fred Flinstone, "The Flinstones"

    #3 is, if I'm not mistaken, from the original Doctor Who serial, An Unearthly Child, although I'd be hard-pressed to recall their names (it's not a very good episode)

    #11 is Captain Caveman from various Hanna-Barbera series, not least of which was Laff-a-lympics.

    #12 is Phil Hartman as Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer on Saturday Night Live

    #16 is Ben Browder as Caveman Crichton in the Farscape episode "My Three Crichtons"

    #17 is Sarah Michelle Gellar as Cave Buffy from Beer Bad on Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    #18 is from those Geico commercials and the short lived spin-off Cavemen.

  2. Nate:

    Extraordinary identifications, my friend. And every one of 'em is absolutely correct. Whoo-hoo. You took those seven images (2, 3, 11, 12, 16, 17, and 18) right off the board. Great job!

  7. More excellent identifications of these cavemen images!

    SFF: Well done, sir! Image #7 is indeed from the cartoon "Valley of the Dinosaurs" (1974), and yes, image #13 is from The X-Files Season One story "The Jersey Devil." Outstanding job!

    Hugh: You also nailed two toughies here. Image #4 comes from the 1966 sitcom "It's About Time" starring Imogene Coca (pictured), and #9 is Richard Kiel (Jaws...) from a third season Land of the Lost episode entitled "Survival Kit."

    Excellent job, SFF and Hugh.

  8. 15 - Cave Guy on "Freakazoid!"

    Funny thing about #4: the only reason I know of "It's About Time" is because I heard the theme song on one of those Tee Vee Tunes compilation albums. ("It's about time/it's about space/about strange people in the strangest place...")

  9. Lonestarr357:

    Man! I wondered if anyone was going to recognize Cave Guy from "Freakazoid!" Excellent job identifying that gallery picture.

    And I'm on the same page with you regarding "It's About Time." I love the theme song, and frequently sing it to my four year old son (much to his dismay...).

    You rock!

  12. Will:

    Impressive, my friend! Most impressive. You are right on both counts. Image 10 is Jim Malinda as Korg in Korg, 70,000 BC (1974), and those are the Morgs in image 10, from "Spock's Brain on Star Trek.

    Awesome!

    best,

  13. #5, that weird Victrola trumpet the caveman was listening too gave me a Lost In Space vibe. Sure enough it's from The Space Primevals

    ReplyDelete
  14. Will -- You are AMAZING! That is indeed Lost in Space, "The Space Primevals." Very well done.

    Now how about # 14? :)

    Awesome...

    The image #1 is from The Adventures of Superman in 1957, "Through the Time Barrier."

    And image #14 is indeed from Star Trek Voyager: "Basics" Part I.
