It's About Time
It's About Time debuted on CBS in September 1966, and
was yet another sitcom by the prolific Sherwood Schwartz - who was
also responsible for Gilligan's Island and The Brady
Bunch.
It focused on two astronauts, Hector Canfield (Mullaney) and
Mac MacKenzie (Aletter) whose capsule travelled through time and
landed them back in the Stone Age.
The show also featured a family of cave people, played by Joe
E. Ross (Car 54, Where Are You?), Imogene Coca (Your
Show of Shows), Mary Grace and Pat Cardi, who lived nearby.
About halfway through the series, the two astronauts managed to
return to their own time, taking the cave family with them. The
laughs then shifted to the predicament of the prehistoric family
trying to get used to life in the modern age.
