Trivia
Halfway 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.

Goofs
The 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.

I'm not crazy, what a relief!

Mostly because of the theme song this TV show has stayed with me for 32 years. Yet, if I ever asked anyone else if they remembered it (singing the song in hopes of loosening a memory) they would look at me as though I was truly mad. It was a silly, stupid show ... like a mutant creation through the coupling of Gilligan's Island and Lost In Space ... and I loved it! I was nine, what did I know? Still, I would like to see it again to find out if the pictures in my head match.

Later in this forum someone calling themselves Mariner719 will mention that the rendition of the theme song was twisted among his/her peers to, "It's about time, it's about space, it's about time to slap your face." No fear Mariner719, I had equally bizarre peers. :)
