My Mother The Car Opening/Closing Theme and Credits

I find the theme offensive....I was raised Catholic and do NOT believe in reincarnation!

Btw, I'm joking tee hee

This "sing-along" title appeared only in the pilot episode. Great theme by Paul Hampton, who also performed it on the soundtrack...

Two years later, Jerry Van Dyke starred in another short-lived series: Accidental Family. It would be at least 20 years later before he finally landed the hit ABC series Coach.

I definitely remember this show. I was only in the third grade when this was on. This used to come on NBC on Tuesday nights right before Please Don't Eat the Daisies.

One wonders why this show did not do better considering the talent behind it -- ranging from producer-director Rod Amateau (fresh from one of TV's greatest sitcoms, "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis") and creators Alan Burns & Chris Hayward (two of TV's finest, wackiest and most inventive comedy writers). I heard that network interference had a lot to do with blunting and dulling the intended satire, which was somewhat patterned after B&H's previous work for Jay Ward ("Fractured Flickers," etc.)

I remember this as a kid ....

OH I Love Ann Southern, I wish this would come out on DVD. It's so Out There !

Yep

thank god this show stunk, Knight Rider was better than this.

Would he have made a good Gilligan? :-)

In any case, he achieved tv immortality with this show as Bob Denver did with the Gilligan role.
