A true classic and very rare laugh riot 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). The sitcom starred Jack Mullaney and Frank Aletter as two 1960's astronauts who break the time barrier and end up in prehistoric times.

The astronauts are forced to take up with primitive (and dumb) cave dwellers played by the great Joe E. Ross ( Officer Tooty on CAR 54 WHERE ARE YOU?) as Gronk - with another comedy legend, Imogene Coca (Your Show of Shows) seen as his nagging wife Shadd. Like Gilligan's Island, situations were played for broad laughs - that meant the show was universally panned by critics but loved by children.

Later the premise was flipped as the cave people and astronauts returned in the space craft to 1967. The focus of the show shifted to stars Coca and Ross as they reacted to the unfamiliar surroundings, setting up home in 20th-century New York City

Because there were only 26 or so episodes, the show had no value in syndication and it faded from view, rarely if ever to be seen again. After viewing some episodes of It's About Time I found it quite funny and cute, especially the episodes where the cavepeople invade New York. Complete Series.
