The theme song for "It's About Time"? You mean, sort of like "It's about time. It's about space. It's about two men in the strangest place. Iiiit's about two astronauts. Iiiit's about their fate . . . ."
It's About Time? Never heard of that show.
Or the second-graders' version ...
It's about time
It's about space
It's about time I slapped your face
She annoyed me, even as a child. LOL. I wondered why she didn't get fired.
But then again, I loved "My Mother The Car", usually listed as one of the worst TV shows ever aired. As a kid, I thought it was funny.
I also liked this show called "It's About Time" that no one seems to remember. I can sing the theme song. The premise was that two astronauts went back into time somehow and lived with cave people.
I remember "It's About Time." My younger sister used to go around the house singing the theme song.
Has anyone mentioned "The Time Tunnel"? That was where two men would jump in and out of a sort of sprial thingy into other decades or centuries. One of them was that cute James Darin. It only ran from 1966-67.

Time Tunnel was the show! Yes, James Darren was the younger hunk. BOTH guys were handsome, simply yummy. I remember James' tight pants and sharp boots (and I was only 6/7 yrs. old)
Anyone remember COMBAT? My friend loved that show. She said there were several guest stars, and most of them died in their episode. She said Sal Mineo played a soldier (who, of course, died). Yes, that's war - but still ...
BTW, the handsome co-star Rick Jason committed suicide. I remember watching a Youtube clip with his character reading (aloud) the dog-tags of deceased soldiers. There were SO many dog-tags, and one could tell that he was struggling to be a soldier and not let emotions overtake him. That deep voice staying strong and steady while keeping his emotions in check was some good drama indeed. Mr. Jason did a good job there.
Oh yes, Combat was a favorite. I'm not sure I'd consider that an obscure show, but as I pointed out in an earlier post, I guess that your perception of a show as obscure or a show all the kids talked about depends what age you were at the time. Even a few years of differeence with young kids makes a huge difference in how mature they are, and their interests, including television shows. Kids of a certain age could view a show as a major fixture of their childhood television viewing, while kids even a couple of years either side of them might hardly pay attention to the same show, and barely recall its existence years later.
No matter how well you do or don't recall it, Combat was quite a show. As a little kid I liked it for the action. I've seen it during a couple of stretches in reruns in more recent years, and have gained a whole new appreciation of the show, viewing it from an adult perspective. They did a great job of mixing stories about particular situations the soldiers had to deal with and figure out how to survive, with other stories that managed to provoke thought about the realities of war in a way that worked within the confines of television and limits on violence that can be shown, and that dealt with issues of war in a way that avoided preachy moralising but unpretentiously stirred serious thought.
As much as I have liked Rick Jason's character, when viewing the show in reruns I've especially appreciated Vic Morrow's character, because of the character's complexity. He was tough, resourceful, and fiercely loyal to the men in his platoon, was a very capable soldier who killed Germans ruthlessly when necessary, but in quieter moments revealed a reflective side that utterly abhorred war, hated war, as the saying goes, "as only a soldier can." Great charcter and great show.
