Remember this show? There are no new ideas............

It's About Time was produced by the immortal Sherwood Schwartz, creator of The Brady Bunch and Gilligan's Island (Gilligan was then in its third year earning solid ratings for CBS).[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]It's About Time ran only one season on CBS, from September 11, 1966 until August 27, 1967; the sitcom starred Jack Mullaney and Frank Aletter as two 1960's astronauts who break the time barrier and end up in prehistoric times. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]

The astronauts are forced to take up with primitive (and dumb) cave dwellers played by the great Joe E. Ross as Gronk - with another comedy legend, Imogene Coca (Your Show of Shows) seen as his nagging wife Shadd. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Ross was a former strip club entertainer before being cast as("OOH, OOH") Officer Tooty on Car 54, Where Are You?; he went on to do voices for numerous Hanna-Barbera cartoons like Hong Kong Phooey.[/FONT]

Mary Grace appeared as daughter Mlor; Pat Cardi as Breer, their son; Cliff Norton as Boss; Kathleen Freeman as Mrs. Boss and Mike Mazurzsky as Boss's henchman Clon.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]

Notice in the fall preview (and in the first episode shown) Coca's character is named 'Shagg.' When CBS censors realized that term held another meaning in the youth culture they changed her name to 'Shadd.'[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Like Gilligan's Island, situations were played for broad laughs - that meant the show was universally panned by critics but loved by children.[/FONT]

Has anyone else seen the ads for this show?

Give me a fucking break. I still can't believe Arrested Development got cancelled, and this piece of shit is going to air. I give it 2 months max.

Fucking stupid ass cavemen.

No offence, Taos. :p

I guess you could say that the show received it's own dose of "arrested Development" :biggrin:
