This week at Flashbak, I remembered the glory days of 1974, when the major American networks each aired a "prehistoric" program on Saturday mornings. These shows were all aimed at kids, and I was four going on five years old.

(Before Cable). The time and day: Saturday mornings.
Kids of the 1970s had a
real treat in store for them as they dug into their bowls of Life Cereal and

NBC -- jumped on the same bandwagon at the same time: prehistoric entertainment.
This span, the fall of
1974, brought children three great TV series from the dawn of man: Korg
70,000 BC (1974-1975), Land of the Lost (1974 – 1977) and Valley
of the Dinosaurs (1974-1975).
Although only one of
these series -- Land of the Lost -- achieved pop culture immortality, children
of the 1970s probably still remember the other two, in no small part because so
