It's About Time

[tweberfree]

Love it! Theme song is still in my head and I was only 10-11 when it came out.

[diddymuck]

the worst sitcom in the history of TV

[1305whitsell]

I was a little kid when this came out and even then I knew it was bubble gum tv not serious stuff like Lost in Space lol

[holdenwise1]

I loved this show when I was a kid.....funny how a lot people haven't heard of it or even remember it.

[taxingtexan]

How do you get copies of this DVD?

[danzamphi]

They must have had to observe alot of "quiet time" on this set, so as not to be overheard on Gilligan's Island.

[FamilyOfMan1975]

I was a kid when this aired. Loved it then, but...........

I guess it was a simpler time.

[brabon1]

@FamilyOfMan1975 i loved it too...took years of education to unlearn that dinosaurs did not exist with man, early man did not speak english, cave men did not bash their brides over their heads...and imogene coca was indeed funny

this was the golden age of tv? bah

[FamilyOfMan1975]

@brabon1 If they remade that show today the cavepeople would be the most beautiful people you've ever seen.

Imogene Coca's part would probably be played by Jennifer Lopez and the leader of the cave clan would be George Clooney.

(Yeah, dinosaurs and man. I got that wrong too thanks to this show and the works of Irwin Allen)

[SOLE2SOUL]

This show is horrible! I thought so then and seeing it again reconfirms it. This is one show that deserves to be condemned to the mists of antiquity.

[mcfrdmn]

Excellent video clip

[prietaquake]

Yeah, I remember this.... god, Im getting old 2 fast...lol

[MrPtz2u]

Richard Donner? Lethal Weapons, The Warriors, all those other great movies, and he was a director for this? lol Guess you gotta start somewhere. I remember this show, or at least the theme song. We sang It's about time, it's about space, it's about time to slap your face. lol What the hell I was 5, lol.

[46singledad46]

i remember singing this my version it's about tim it's about space .it's about you ugly face hahah hey i was 4 yrs old

[taxingtexan]

It's too bad this show never got syndicated, or I might have remembered it just like Gilligan's Island.

[htrrz]

I recall this show in the early 60's, the astronauts went back in time, then they returned to the future with the cave people family with them, switching the show around.

[CRG1199]

Miss my childhood ... Thanks!!!

[5678simon]

great

[KryptonSlim]

R.I.P. Frank Aletter......he just passed away recently.

[zapkvr]

I wonder what our creationist friends would make of this? Don't they beleive the world is only 6000 years old? And that dinosaurs actually did live on the planet with early humans (I've never read of them in the Holy Bible)

[zapkvr]

I wish the copyright owners woudl release the DVD. Damn Hector sounds like Gilligan. Sherwood made this before Gilligan's island didn't he?

[darrylhaynes]

yep...

[oldschoolsituationz]

this show was good while it lasted i half remember it from the sixties kinda like my mother ther car. a space aged version of gilligans island... funny show, but not as good as gilligans island. i do rather have some fond memories of this show along with mr. terrific and captain fantastic.

[1963Mattman]

Great show! Thanks for the memories.

[vinylman4533]

This show also played on Australian TV in the late 60's/early 70's. I haven't seen this in nearly 40's years!

[mary1raymond]

I used to LOVE this show! It was so bad it was hilarious. And I must still like it because I just enjoyed this clip. 

Maybe I'll dress up as Shad for next Halloween?

[amiblueful]

Boss look like Sadam Hussein. How unfortunate for Boss.

[PochiesRosie]

First, Imogene Coca's character's name was Shag, then they must have realized that was no good, so they changed it to Shad.

[mommyjosette]

I don't remember the show, but DEFINATELY remember - It's about time, it's about space, it's about time I slap your face! LOL!!

[TheJetfighter666]

My brother and I used to love this show as did my friends. In latter episodes the cave people came back to modern time.

[thewackingtons]

I watched this show, first-run, back in '66. Now, the canned laugh track is intolerable as well as the humor. Presumably the only requirement to be a comedy writer back in the day was just to ask for the job.

[mcfrdmn]

I haven't seen this show in years!

[rafapat]

its so awesome her name was shag!!!!!

[bbutton]

I have all of the episodes, but this version has probably got to be the best quality I've seen yet! Thanks so much for posting. I only wish that this series would be remastered and released on DVD.

[MrsPollyticks]

A lot of people remember this song because, as kids, we went around singing "It's About Time, It's About Space, It's About Time I slap Your Face" and then we did.

[VirginiaPatriot]

LOL

[brackenUD]

Ha Ha , I so remember doing this !!!

[kaminleft]

LOL Yes, exactly!

[skills1964]

finally i can get the faded memory of this theme song out of my head. shag was hot

[tomahawky1]

I was real young - and barely remember this except for the theme song......and Gronk. After watching this, I can understand why it didn't last and never made it to syndication. Thanks togi55, at least I got to see it.......

[rhblakeman]

I was 9 and 10 when it was on. For some reason the danged song popped into my head today while doing yard work. Last fall Susie Snowflake and Hardrock, Coco and Joe from that same period popped into my head and I thought I was losing it. Maybe aging allows old stuff in the attic of our heads to come out and play once in a while?

[user92126]

ha ha it's like Gilligan's island / F-troop with the same kind of acting and canned laughter

[rhblakeman]

It was made by the same people that created Gilligan's Island, might be why it's similar.

[carolyn1e1s]

RIP Frank Aletter 5/13/09

[Sagayzia]

The theme song from this show has been bouncing around in my head for over 40 years! I loved the show at the time but now that I have seen it again....I think I must have been easily amused!!!

[dahur]

Yes, we no longer have our kid's imagination!

[rothsblaublau]

Fantástico, foi uma das melhoeres séries de tv que vi na minha infância...

Rara de se ver e material a respeito...

Parabéns...

[floridamadman59]

This is the first time I've seen this silly shit in over 40years. But I too remembered this silly theme all these years.

[darebinroad]

They speak damn good English for cave men.

[123JDB789]

Hokie as all hell! ....but I love it.... I saw this as a kid too.... Me Like Cheifie Weefie's Wiffie! UG!

[drmorose]

For those of you who wonder how this episode turns out, here's what happens.

Gronk promises "No more mastedon bones in the streets."

It's a tie vote on election day until a woman from near the tarpits votes for Boss because she likes the photo the astronuats took.

Boss wins and spares the astronauts for the picture.

I saw this show over 40 years ago and I remember this stupid plot. I'm so ashamed of my brain!

[sdfeinstein]

Thanks. I've been up all night wondering!!!!

[the60sKid]

This show was no more silly than Gilligan, Jennie, Bewitched, Get Smart or any other crazy comedy of the 60's. I liked this show and I'll buy it when it comes out on DVD.

[dahur]

Just for nostalgia sake, I bought the complete 26 ep set on sell(dot)com for about $20. It was worse than I remembed it. The special effects, if you can call them that, are rock bottom budget. Truly hokey. I got thru the 1st episode(barely). But I like 90% of the TV from the 60's, and collect them, another reason I got it. Ioffer, and sell have just about any series you can think of for cheap.

[britfrenir]

does it have have any classic logos on it?

[dahur]

Most of the stuff you get from ioffer, and Sell, including this set, are in plain white wrappers, burned off on DVDR. No logo's.

[prchristman]

I watched each episode when this was first on. The show was idiotic. But the basic storyline had a Gilligan's Island appeal--would the castaways / astronauts be rescued? The song in the closing credits urged us to tune in each week and see. Once hooked by the first few shows, that's what I did. The Gilligan's Island crowd remained on the island. But the astronauts returned to the 1960s in midseason with the Gronk family. Briefly interesting. Then the show continued on its same silly pace.

[dahur]

Even with a kids imagination in 1967,( 13 yrs old), I thought this was a terrible show. I'm surprised it even lasted the 26 episodes. Only "My Mother The Car", was more dumb, IMO. But I will say, I've always remembered the catchy theme music all these years, and that was a pleasure hearing it again.

[pabstman57]

Iv thought about this show alot over the years.

[Dietpepsivanilla]

There's a lot of Giligan's Island elements here including the premise and music and the Scorpio space capsule.

[moparteddy]

OMG, Thanx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For some oddly reason, nobody ever remembers this show. I've been wanting to see it again for the last 30 years. Boy, did it bring back memories.

[JaymoLACa]

awesome, thx for posting!

[thesixtiesguy]

Spaceship is leftover from countless episodes of Gilligan. Wish this series could be released. Both me and the other two people who liked it would buy it.

[sdfeinstein]

Try to find the rest of this.....

[johnozed]

I only remember the theme song myself.

[johnozed]

how convenient that the cavemen spoke english.

[ConfederateFlorida]

I'm 41 but I've never heard of this show in my life, I guess they never re-ran it much.

[PG52]

Do the math - you weren't on the planet yet. And it was only on for one or two seasons.

[pcsbeat]

i remember the episode when the cavemen wind up in the 60s and are freaked out by things like tv's and phones lol  great stuff

[TheHandymanQld]

The one thing I remember from this show is when Shad was being taught to say glass. She kept referring to it as glam. I'm in my 40's and that's the only thing that I remembered of this until now.

[caesarydi]

I remember this and just started lookin for it ! thanks

[123JDB789]

Me get big kick out of Gronk.... and where Car 54 when you need'em. Ooooh Oooooh!

[prchristman]

I remembered this show, being in my mid teens when it was shown. Time travel always interested me. History always fascinated me. So, I never missed an episode. Even if the jokes were obvious, the plots basically repeated each other, and the talents of a fine cast were wasted.

You have the show in which the astronauts returned to the 1960s? With the cave family? That stimulated interest for a while, but showed the producers were a bit desperate to raise poor ratings.

[davidls11]

You probably liked "Time Tunnel" too. If so, you can watch the whole series for free on SurfTheChannel(.)com.

[prchristman]

I didn't watch "Time Tunnel" at the time. I caught some of it on YouTube and thought the concept interesting, but obvious. The one show I saw showed a time traveller on the Titanic. He tried to convince passengers the boat was going to sink, and naturally didn't convince anyone. But I ought to give the series more of a chance. Thanks for the tip.

[davidls11]

True, they always landed in the middle of an important historical event (Trojan Horse, Custer's Last Stand, The Alamo, etc.) and the scientists could never pull them out until they succeeded in their endeavors...but it was about time travel.

[joliezuzu]

I was just a tiny one when this came out, but I remember the theme song well! Thanks for posting it!!!

[dustsquid]

Wow, for years I thought I had just imagined that there was an episode of Gilligan's Island where they flew in a spacecraft to an island of cavemen. I was just vaguely misremembering this show. Wild

[togi55]

Obviously, even in your childhood, you recognized the artistry of that auteur, Sherwood Schwartz!

[shadejford]

There's obvious similarities to Schwartz's other classic Gilligan's Island. The Hector character acts and talks like Gilligan, but he's taller than Gilligan. The two astronauts' relationship is similar to the Skipper and Gilligan's.

[10mins2go]

Great childhood memories!! might not of lasted long or was successful but I enjoyed as a kid, & again today! Thanks for posting togi55!!
