My Mother the Car apparently coming to Antenna TV - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I remember in the late 60s when Channel 5 in New York aired reruns of My Mother the Car. It aired on Saturday mornings and later moved to Sunday's after their long-running kids show Wonderama. It would be great to see the show again, thought it was considered one of the worst shows of all-time. It definitely put the gimmick in gimmick shows.

I recently saw the first episode on HULU and thought it was pretty funny, I can't see why so many people hate it.

I wonder if MMTC is still coming to Antenna TV. Can't seem to find anything about it online anymore.

Thanks. I must have missed it.

I caught a couple of episodes and enjoyed them. I think the cast members worked well in their roles. Randy Whipple is familiar to fans of Family Affair and My Three Sons.

I always preferred Jerry Van Dyke's role as a supporting cast member on Coach as opposed to his various guest spots over the years, and here I see that he was able to carry My Mother the Car admirably well in the lead role. I'm glad Antenna has picked this series up.

I saw the first 2 episodes of My Mother the Car and it was fair. . The plots were ok but it somewhat poked along. The episode could have been 15 minutes . Then on Antenna Tv I saw Its About Space. I struggled through episode 1 but I felt it went too slow and decided to pass on Episode 2.

IT'S ABOUT TIME not SPACE

I haven't seen them yet!!! They will be on tomorrow right? What time?

I'm just now starting to get used to the new weekday Antenna schedule. I'm not used to the new weekend schedule yet at all!

I ordered the DVD set of My Mother The Car full series, got it in the mail today.

Thought I'd better go ahead and order it, because it seems to be getting harder to find. Maybe it's going out of print.

Bonniegirl · 10-03-2015, 02:55 PM

Finally saw this today!!!! LOVED it!!! Great heartwarming old show!!! They even have a cute shaggy dog!!!

Missed this thread. Just another reason I love Antenna TV. They're always doing something special...cute rollout. Now, I hope they air Room 222 and The Adv. Of zozzie snd Harriet. Whatta great channel. And this freebie channel is mostly better than many of the crappola cable channels where you have to shell out bucks.

treky · 11-10-2015, 01:55 AM

now if only they'd stop crunching the credits and doing that split screen, I've stopped watching them because of that. It's a shame because they're a good channel and I really wish I could watch them. The same with COZI-TV and DECADES.

And ANTENNA TV isn't a cable channel, it's an over-the-air digital sub-channel.

OH Nuts! · 12-17-2015, 07:27 AM

I'll admit Antenna 's not 100% re show endings and the sometimes really looonnng commercials. But it's FREE, airs fantastic vintage shows and has kicka*s marathons.

Also, I do realize it's not a cable channel; the point I was making is that because it's not cable, if you get it locally, it's free. AndaLOT better than most (all?) vintage show cable channels where you have to pay.
