- 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
It was too much like Gilligan's Island...
...created by the same person who created Gilligan's Island, Sherwood Schwartz, at the same time Gilligan's Island was still on the air. Although I'm not sure it would have caught on had Gilligan's Island not been on the air.
Basically you have the two astronauts doubling for the Skipper and Gilligan although not in such an extreme relationship as those two had, with one astronaut just being jumpier and more scatter brained than the other.
Rather than a bunch of fellow castaways, the two astronauts have to deal with prehistoric man. And you have dinosaurs and man existing at the same time in this prehistoric world.
The topic got tired in a hurry and was cancelled after one season, even after the astronauts find a way to return to 1966 earth but end up bringing the cavemen with them.
The thing that I remember most about this show was the very catchy theme song that it had. It seems I'm not alone as many fellow reviewers are saying that they found it most memorable as well.
A few episodes, including the series premiere, show up on youtube from time to time.
