Synopsis

Cro is an American animated television series produced by the Children's Television Workshop and Film Roman. It debuted on September 18, 1993 as part of the Saturday morning line-up for fall 1993 on ABC. Cro did not do well with the viewers. The show had an educational theme in accordance with FCC-mandated educational/instructional requirements, introducing basic concepts of physics, mechanical engineering, and technology. The premise of using woolly mammoths as a teaching tool for the principles of technology was inspired by David Macaulay's The Way Things Work; Macaulay is credited as writer on the show. The last new episode aired on October 22, 1994. The show was released on video in a total of nine volumes.

DisneyMarsupilami600 I used to watch this show on PBS Kids back in 1993. It aired on all PBS stations nationwide. It was the very first fully animated series for PBS Kids. This was before Caillou and Arthur came along, Way before Dragon Tales or The Magic School and many others.... And many more stuffs came. I sure do miss Cro, As well as 3-2-1 Contact, Square One Television, Shining Time Station, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, Newton's Apple, And many others..... And I know Sesame Street is still on the air. And they did revive The Electric Company. And I sure do miss the P-Pals (the original mascot for PBS Kids).
lhicok My children (and I) thought this was a wonderful cartoon. Cro, was a cro-magnon boy who somehow became separated from his tribe and ended up living with a family of Neanderthals and an ape-man. Phil is a woolly mammoth, who is part of a pack of very smart mammoths. They teach Cro how to use math, engineering, physics, mechanics, technology, etc...to resolve problem that occur for him and his family. (How to use a fulcrum and lever to lift stuff. Or about how sound waves occur in an episode about creating musical instruments of sorts.) I thought it was very educational, as well as entertaining. We watched it every week, and were really disappointed when it disappeared. We still talk about it today, and explain it to others that say they've never seen it. It is one of our all time favorite cartoons, all of ours. I would love to be able to buy all 26 episodes. I really miss good, non violent cartoons that teach kids while entertaining them. Unfortunately I think this is a bygone era.
ztonus I've never been good at science, but I always like it best when Science mixes with a good show. My favorites have been "Magic School Bus" and "Beakman's World". Then, I saw Previews for "Cro". This was a cool show.The story: A wooley mammoth from the Ice Age is thawed out in the 20th century by Dr. C and Mikey. Each episode, he tells a story about his caveman friend, Cro. Each story has to do with science in every Stone Age daily life.This only lasted a season or two, but it's was cool science...
