It's About Time (1960s sitcom)

I know DL loves to hate on Small Wonder, but really, It's About Time MUST be the worst sitcom in history.

Joe E. Ross was married numerous times to prostitutes. Apart from that, he had a rep for being slovenly and generally disgusting to work with. When a sponsor did a meet and greet on the set of Car54 Where Are You? He was masturbating in plain sight.

I thought this was wonderful when it came out. Of course I was 9.

Per Wikipedia: "Imogene Coca, who played Ross's caveman wife in the sitcom 'It's About Time,' hated working with Ross and referred to him as 'that awful man.'"

I'd never ever heard of this show before. Lmfao, it looks pretty bad, but I want to see more!

I must have watched it because I remember the theme song. Or at least the hook of the theme song.

Back then in the schoolyard...

It's about time

It's about space

It's about time to slap you in the face!

Not familiar with it, agree it looks stupid.

The astronauts are kinda hot, though.

I agree with all that R5 wrote.

it reminds me of the Gilligan's Island episode where the cast play cave dwellers for 1 episode.

Were they all trying to put together an old stone tablet?

R3. I was 9, too, and looked forward. Watched one episode and even then knew it was crap and never watched it again.

R8. We must have been in the same schoolyard!

I liked it better when they changed the format and brought them back to modern times.

How is it that so many of us remember the theme song to this day, but not the actual show?

Cold war experimentation on youngsters?

Both those astronauts would get my crank all hot and swollen and turn it, too.

The mid-late 1960s were not a good time for sitcoms.
