Storyline

- TriviaHalfway through the one-season run, the plot was reversed in a desperate attempt to bolster the show's low ratings. The two astronauts, who had traveled back in time, found a way to return to 1966 and took the stone-age family with them; so the rest of the run played out with Gronk, Shadd, et al. trying to adjust to NYC life in 1966.
- GoofsThe show was filmed in 1966. Inexplicably, the astronauts' space suits have an American flag with 48 stars. Alaska and Hawaii became states in 1959, and the American flag was adjusted at that time to have 50 stars.

Featured review
The theme song has stuck with me for years!
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!
