alumni72 I don't remember much about the show at all, except that I used to watch it with my sister. I was 7 years old in 1966 and she was 9, and all I recall is that some nights we were anxious to finish dinner early to go watch it. Thank goodness for our patient and understanding parents. I don't remember any details except for the first 2 lines of the theme song (It's about time, it's about space") - in my mind I figured the next line must have ended in "human race" so it would rhyme, but obviously I was wrong there. I can't share my memories with my wife - she was only 3 when the show was on - so it's nice to finally find other people who also remember the show - although you all seem to remember it more clearly than I do. Still, I'd be interested in buying it if it ever came out on DVD, and I would definitely be up for watching it on TVLand. I'm giving the show 10 stars - I can't recall much about the show itself now, but the memories that come back by just thinking about the show are definitely 10-star memories.
tennisfolks I have never been to a support group or a UFO abduction meeting, but after reading the comments on this show in IMDb I feel as though I am now among kindred spirits. Hello, my name is $@$ and I too am a "It's About Time-aholic".That darn theme song for this show has literally been bugging me for 30+ years. I would sing the first few lines to my wife, my brother and law, friends, neighbors, (most of which would grab their kids and run in their houses), and I have inquired into perfect strangers-all in an effort to learn the source of the song. I COULD NOT get it out of my head and I was desperate as to learn what show of which it originated. I could remember watching it as a kid, but I could not for the life of me remember the show's name. Tonight, on Ebay of all places, a good Samaritan has "shown me the light" by giving me IMDb site for this show. I just want to publicly thank him for this gesture, and I can now sleep in peace! "It's about Time" was wacky, funny, stupid, and very entertaining. I wish I knew what channel it came on back in 1966 and I would start a letter writing campaign to bring it back or at least get it syndicated on a DVD....This is why I love IMDb....a site simply full of information for young and old.
junk_box "It's About Time" was a very short lived sitcom released in 1965 that mercifully died a quick death. It's television dreck, full of clichés and cornballs, idiocy peppered with a relentless jangling laugh-track. It may have pleased an eight year old in pajamas with a mouth full of sugar cereal, but apparently not enough of them to remain on the air. One would like to call it charming, simple, and quaint, but remember that it was made by adults working as executives in television production, and adult actors who took acting as their avocation. This television is so ridiculously & admittedly stupid, and it's unsettling to think that it was made by grown-up people.The producers must have decided that the way to create a hit was to take elements from several successful shows and combine them into something new. In this way, "It's About Time" is a amalgamation of what was popular on the box in the USA in 1965. The caveman elements come from Captain Caveman and the Flintstones, the nyuk-nyuk castaways come from Gilligan's Island, and the adventures of two moderns trapped among yokels in the wild is from Green Acres. Sherwood Schwartz had nothing left except the ability to imitate himself.Why did it fail? a) The continual unga-bunga dialect ("Me like sharp stick, take food to mate") is very grating and annoying -- alone it's enough to make you flip the channel. b) No pretty girls to prance about in a tiger-fur bra. Did Eva Marie Saint turn the part down? c) It's hard to cheer for the two dorky spacemen. They don't rouse sympathy or interest.
Glen Wooten I love this show, Even though I have not seen an episode in more than thirty years , Funny thing is I am reminded of this show all the time as my wife is very much in personality ,And a little in looks ( the hair is perfect)like Imogene Coca !!! I would love to see this on DVD but I am not big on dodgey tapes DVD etc. so if the genuine product comes out I will be first in line to buy it ,Just to see the look on my wife's face , (she has never seen "It's about time" or any show with Imogene Coco. Also I like anything with Jack Mullaney remember him from the Dr Goldfoot Movie's with VIncent Price ? And Joe E Ross , ooh, ooh, That was Funny, What has happened the comedy ? now a days its ether cruel, rude, or nasty
