More info on It's About Time From: Richard Ranke Thank you for noticing fondly one of the favorite shows from my adolescence. It's About Time was my favorite Sherwood Schwartz - produced show, yet it's his least successful. On the other hand, my least favorite of his shows, the Bratty - er, Brady Bunch, was his most successful. Who remembers Cliff Norton from the old series Who's the Funny Man? in which he would introduce old silent movie clips as Candy Man, Smart Man, Romantic Man, Noble Man, Fire Man, Police Man, and other, "man," characters. In It's About Time he was Cave Man. I wonder where he is today? Frank Aletter might think It's About Time was the high point of his television career. Imogene Coca might have thought it was her low point. For those like Mary Grace, it WAS their television career. Here is a text of the It's About Time theme song (Both versions) It's about time, it's about space, About two men in the strangest place. It's about time, it's about flight - Traveling faster than the speed of light. This is the tale of the brave crew As through the barrier of time they flew. Past a fighting minuteman, Past an armored knight, Past a Roman warrior, To this ancient site. It's about caves,cavemen too, About a time when the earth was new. Wait'll they see what is in sight! Is it good luck or is it good night? It's about two astronauts, it's about their fate, It's about a woman and her prehistoric mate. It's about time, it's about space, About two men in the strangest place. They will be here right on this spot No matter if they like it or not. How will they live in this primitive state? Will help ever come before it is too late? Will they ever get away? Watch each week and see! Will they be returning to the 20th Century? It's about time for our goodbyes To all these prehistoric gals and guys. IT'S ABOUT TIME! When the show's concept changed mid-season and the cave people moved to 20th century New York, the theme song changed as well: It's about time, it's about space, About cave-people in the strangest place. It's about time, it's about flight- Traveling faster than the speed of light. About cave-people and the brave crew As through the barrier of time they flew. Past a Roman warrior, past an armored knight, Past a fighting minuteman to this modern site. It's about time for you and me To meet these people from 1,000,000 BC. It's about two astronauts and how they educate A prehistoric woman and her prehistoric mate. It's about time, it's about space, About cave-people in the strangest place. They will be here with all of us, dodging a taxi, car or bus. Where will they go? What will they do In this strange place where everything is new? Will they manage to survive? Watch each week and see. Will they get accustomed to the 20th Century? It's about time for our goodbyes To all these prehistoric gals and guys. IT'S ABOUT TIME! When the show ended,I wrote my own little signature song: It's about time to end this tale Before it gets too overly stale. Let's say goodbye.The end is here For Mac,Hec,Gronk,Shad,Mlor and Breer. Now that the whole show is done, Goodbye all,I have had a lot of fun! What will the future offer us? Let's just wait and see. It seems like the stone age before people had TV. It's about time to end this song. Let us not linger for too long.IT'S ABOUT TIME! During the first OJ Simpson trial,the Tonight show had parodies to Schwartz' other shows like,"the OJ Bunch,"or,"Here at OJ's Trial." After a while I thought; It's about time, to end this trial! It's been lasting a long while! It's about time to wrap up all Before it gets too cold this fall. Don't put it off another day. He's gonna be acquitted anyway! Thank you for giving me a chance to share my memories of a fondly remembered TV series. -Richard J. Ranke Really glad I saw Joe E. Ross. I had almost forgotten about him. I sure was a kid that must of really loved that show. Used to sing the lyrics and didn't realize why I was singing them. Thanx, Ron
