Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
tarnower I was about 10 when this show was on, and I watched as many episodes as I could.That said, I ROTFL in a "Get Smart" rerun I saw a while back. The bad guy is dying and:Max (reassuringly): "Help is on the way." Bad guy (in great pain): "I'll never make it, but do one thing for me." Max (compassionately): "What?"Bad guy: "Tell me 'My Mother the Car' is coming back on TV." Max (with a puzzled look): "Why?" Bad guy: "Then I won't mind going so much."That pretty much summed up the opinions from the rest of my family when I tried to watch this show.
LCShackley Many thanks to TRIO for running several episodes of this horrible, horrible show during June, 2004. I watched the first few episodes during its first run, and believe it or not, I could still hum the theme song almost 40 years later. What went wrong here? Scripts by Burns and Hayward (Bullwinkle, etc.) and James L. Brooks (Oscar winner)! But the two episodes I watched this week were PATHETIC, one-joke episodes. Strangely, one had NO laugh track, and the other had a laugh track that laughed far too hard in all the wrong places. The premise must have sounded good at the first meeting; then when they actually had to write full episodes, they realized how difficult it would be to pull off. You have to see this turkey to understand why virtually EVERY poll of bad TV shows puts it at or near the top.
karenth I remember this show, and I loved it. I thought it was funny. I have always liked Jerry Van Dyke and Dick Van Dyke. I can't believe they haven't shown it in reruns. I would like to see it in reruns. If not, where can I find the VCR tapes of it?
Kiddman This hilarious, slapsticky show was probably expected to be a hit by the TV execs, based on the recent success of such movies as "The Great Race", "Those Magnificent Men And Their Flying Machines", and others. Somehow, viewers never caught on, and the show died quietly, becoming an instant industry joke. I'll never understand why, though. Everyone in it was funny, esp. Avery Schreiber as a Mack Sennett-like, mustache-twiddling, posing, crazy villain, always trying to steal the car, but never even getting close. This is one show I'd like to see in reruns.
