So has anyone watched all the episodes so far? Saturday during college football does NOT work for me, and I'm not interested enough to record.

You're not missing anything. I watched the first 13 minutes, it was awful.

The show only ran one season but it was popular enough to be memorialized with its own lunch box! Not even Gilligan or Bewitched got a lunch box in their day (I'm referring to vintage 1960s memorabilia).

I must be the only one who finds it funny

I mean, sure it's not Shakespeare but you have to remember these were the days of "fantasy sitcoms".

I forgot about it and will try to remember next Saturday. I wanna see it again. Joe E. Ross was funny on Car 54 and the Bilko show. I'll watch at least a few episodes.

I watched the pilot episode on youtube and here is my impression. It was fairly well written and the cast was very good. The sets and special effects were very cheap and low budget. But I think that's part of the charm of the show!

Why stop there? Here, for everyone that is so curious about it, is most of the series (21 of 26 episodes) available FREE from YouTube for your viewing enjoyment.

Mork and Mindy, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, The Munsters, The Addams Family, and Gilligan's Island are all fantasy sitcoms that are much better than It's About Time.

Ditto.

I like that Antenna is bringing back these shows. Yes, they're obscure, but there are FANS out there of My Mother The Car and It's About Time. And even though these shows never did it for me, I'm glad for those who have been dying to see these shows without having to shell out megabucks.

I watched for the first time yesterday! It's a cute show!!! I also saw My Mother the car for the first time too, which I preferred over IAT! But I'll watch again. The cave people are funny. They could have picked hotter astronauts IMO!!! Not that they are ugly, but not crush worthy for me!

For the guys, the blonde cave daughter is eye candy! My hubby took notice when she was on!!!

I'm thinking maybe she was more into modeling than acting?
