Reviews

coully I can remember this show with much affection as a child back in the 70's when growing up.I would hurry home after school to watch this and many other classic shows like Lost In Space,Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea(or bathtub) as I often lovingly refer to it as well as Land of the Giants,time Tunnel,,,I'm sure you get the drift.It was such a corny program but yet always gave the greatest laughs.I was greatly upset when it finished,never to be shown on TV again and have remembered small bits including the theme music over the years.The other series have now been committed to DVD while this has not which is very sad as I would kill,(HaHa,,Only kidding but only just)to have this on disc.Now being 44,I hope that 1 day,preferably soon,someone will see just how popular this really was for our generation."It's About Time" someone showed it to the next few!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
hindle0872 This CBS sitcom ran only one season from September 11, 1966 until August 27, 1967 and starred Jack Mullaney and Frank Aletter as two sixties astronauts who break the time barrier and end up in prehistoric times. 'It's About Time' had all the elements that a kid growing up in the 1960's could possibly want. At least all that this shy, egg headed ape who had an unusual sense of the ironic and a penchant for the ridiculous could want. It had space and time travel, the theory of relativity, dinosaurs, cavemen and strangely compelling images of robustly proportioned cave women being dragged by their hair into darkened caves. Whatever for, I couldn't possible tell. But it did seem like an very stimulating pastime. I think you will all agree, they just aren't making T.V. like this anymore.
anubis-45 It is indeed a pleasure to read that someone else in this VAST UNIVERSE has heard of, and remembers the comedy series "It's About Time", for I thought that I was the only one...I mentioned it to my Dad the other day, and he couldn't recall it....(I am 55 and he is 80!!) All I really remember is the two astronauts, stuck in the time-shift which brings them back to ancient civilization, and the fact that "over the hill" and "other side of valley" were significant.The laughs then sort of come at you, like an episode of "F Troop", but it is still a long time ago...The theme ("It's About Time, It's About Space,.....") has also stuck in my head over the years, and I would love to see it on DVD.I am not THE ONLY ONE....
