Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

rcj5365 It made have been labeled as one of the worst sitcoms of the mid-1960's. The short-lived series "It's About Time" ran for one season on CBS-TV producing 26 episodes in color for Gladysya-Redwood Productions in association with the CBS Television Network and United Artists Television. "It's About Time was produced by the same people who brought you "Gilligan's Island",under the creative brainchild of executive producer Sherwood Schwartz. The series starred Jack Mullaney and Frank Aletter as the two astronauts whom after their space capsule made a wrong turn somewhere in outer space,and cracked the time barrier. Astronauts Lt. Hector Canfield(Mullaney),and Captain "Mac" MacKenzie(Aletter) discovered that they were headed back to a world quite different from the one they had left. However,they landed in a swamp smack in the middle of the prehistoric Stone Age,and not far from a tribe of friendly cave dwellers. Among their new prehistoric neighbors were a friendly couple,Shad(Imogene Coca),and Grunk(Joe E. Ross),and their two children,Mlor(Mary Grace),and Breer(Pat Cardi),and their suspicious chief Boss(Cliff Norman),and his wife,Mrs.Boss(Kathleen Freeman).This was basically a standard silly concept of a show that was basically designed for its target audience. "It's About Time" audience were mainly kids and older children,which basically got some good laughs and outrageous comedy from its two main characters who each week got into one mischief situation after another with Aletter in the Alan Hale,Jr.role(as the skipper),and Mullaney in the Bob Denver role(as Gilligan). The episode with the main characters in the prehistoric world were just as corny and laughable as they were and they prove it. One episode of the series that was telecast on January 22,1967 changed all that titled "20th Century,Here We Come!". This was the episode where the astronauts finally got there spaceship repaired,and managed to return to the 20th century,bringing back Shad,Gronk and their children with them. As for the astronauts adjusting to the prehistoric period,their counterparts Shad and Gronk had more trouble adjusting to living in modern day Los Angeles,aka 1967. Even more trouble and hijinks ensues when they have encounters with the superintendent of their apartment building Mr. Tyler(Alan DeWitt),and their supervisor at work at the Army base,General Morley(Frank Wilcox).When it premiere on September 11,1966,the series "It's About Time" was placed on CBS' Sunday night lineup where the show replaced "My Favorite Martian",after four seasons. The show came on after the long-running animal series "Lassie"(which was still on the air and dominating the Nielsens on Sunday nights). Because of the low ratings that this series got,the series was on Sunday nights opposite NBC's "The Wonderful World of Disney",and the ABC action-adventure science fiction laced series "Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea",which brought it to its death knell. After 26 episodes,the series was canceled on April 2,1967. To this day,whatever happened to this series? Out of the original cast members after this show ended,only actor Frank Aletter went on to bigger and better things,most known for his portrayal of Professor Irwin Hayden on the Hanna-Barbera live-action serial "Danger Island" which was part of the live action-animation "The Banana Splits Show".

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.

Mariner719 I remember this show only vaguely, but the theme song was a big hit with the school kids (I was in the 3rd grade when it came out) because we changed it as a joke on our friends. We'd sing: It's about time It's about space It's about time To slap your face (smack!) Then we'd run. Okay, it's juvenile, but we were only 8 years old! Nevertheless, that tune has stuck with me all these years. Did anyone else come up with this variation? For that matter, I believe the actual theme went: It's about time, it's about space, it's about two men in the strangest place...here is the tale of the brave crew, and through some very (ancient?) times they flew...past the fighting minuteman...past the armored knight...past the Roman warrior...to this ancient site. Let me know if I have that wrong, but I think that's how it was SUPPOSED to go, and no face slapping involved!

Glen Wooten I love this show, Even though I have not seen an episode in more than thirty years , Funny thing is I am reminded of this show all the time as my wife is very much in personality ,And a little in looks ( the hair is perfect)like Imogene Coca !!! I would love to see this on DVD but I am not big on dodgey tapes DVD etc. so if the genuine product comes out I will be first in line to buy it ,Just to see the look on my wife's face , (she has never seen "It's about time" or any show with Imogene Coco. Also I like anything with Jack Mullaney remember him from the Dr Goldfoot Movie's with VIncent Price ? And Joe E Ross , ooh, ooh, That was Funny, What has happened the comedy ? now a days its ether cruel, rude, or nasty
