Yes, and Robert Colbert was the other scientist.

And in the truest traditions of time travel, they never went anywhere mundane or boring like the middle of a desert, or the office where I work.

It was always just as Krakatoa was about to erupt, or the middle of the French Revolution or some such....

Hmmm, I wonder whyyyyyyy ?

I can vaguely remember a show called "It's About Time" set in prehistoric times. I recall the shows theme song going something like-: ???
It's about Time
It's about space  Yada Yada yada.
Was this show about them going back to prehistoric times Via time travel? ??? ???

It's About Time

LINK to the theme song:  http://www.tvparty.com/70/abouttime.ram

This CBS sitcom ran only one season from September 11, 1966 until August 27, 1967 and starred Jack Mullaney and Frank Aletter as two sixties astronauts who break the time barrier and end up in prehistoric times.  

It's About Time was produced by Sherwood Schwartz, creator of The Brady Bunch and Gilligan's Island (then in its third year on CBS).

The astronauts take up with cave dwellers played by the great Joe E. Ross ("OOH, OOH" - Officer Tooty from 'Car 54, Where Are You?' and numerous Hanna-Barbera cartoons) as Gronk, Imogene Coca ('Your Show of Shows') as his wife, Shad; Mary Grace as daughter Mlor; Pat Cardi as Breer, their son; Cliff Norton as Boss; Kathleen Freeman as Mrs. Boss and Mike Mazurzsky as Boss's henchman Clon.

Like 'Gilligan's Island', situations were played for broad laughs and the show was universally panned by critics but loved by children.

Frank Wilcox joined the cast in January as the astronaut's commanding officer when the show shifted directions mid-season to try to build ratings. The cave people and Astronauts returned in the space craft to 1967, and the focus of the show shifted to stars Coca and Ross as they encountered a rough time adjusting to 20th century New York City.

The rest of the lyrics as best as I can remember (and it has been a very long time) -

It's about time
It's about space
About two people in the strangest place
Here is the tale
Of the brave crew,
As through the barrier of time they flew -
Past a fighting Minuteman,
Past an armored knight,
Past a Roman warrior,
To this ancient sight.
It's about time.
It's about space.
It's about time.
It's about caves.
It's about time!

I wish Nick at Night would bring it back.
