It's About Time

- Season 1

(1966)

Astronauts Mac and Hector traveling faster than light, go back in time to prehistoric Earth. Unable to return, they make friends with the natives.

Mac and Hector attempt to rebuild their spaceship and take off.

Mac and Hector must go through a series of initiations to join the tribe.

Breer thinks his father Gronk is a loser, so Mac, Hector and Shad cook up scenarios to make Gronk look like a hero to his son.

With a lack of water Boss and Gronk think they must sacrifice Mac and Hector for it to rain.

The astronaut visitors are troubled that Cavemen drag their women around by the hair as their form of courtship. And so, they do their best to institute modern, civilized courting techniques.

Not wanting to fight, Mac persuades Boss to choose a champion to represent the tribe against its neighbor.

Hector takes a snapshot of Boss, who suspects the astronauts will use it to harm him and condemns them to death. The astronauts try to save their skin by convincing the natives to hold an election and remove Boss from power.

After seeing their filthy cave, Shad resolves to find a wife for one of the astronauts and returns with her gorgeous daughter for Hector, who learns a few things about matrimony in the Stone Age.

Before blasting off, Hector and Mac make movies of the cave dwellers using camouflaged equipment; Boss and Clon quietly watch in awe as the astronauts review their footage.

Hector and Mac make a model plane for Breer, but Boss denounces the plane as evil and orders Clon to bring the astronauts to him for native judgment.

When a puppy trots out of the spacecraft, Hector decides to give it to Breer as a farewell present and the cave dwellers become petrified at the sight of the puppy, blaming it for all of the calamities befalling the village.

While searching for aluminum ore with which to repair their spacecraft, mac and Hector accidentally desecrate an idol to the fire God.

Mac and Hector are dismayed to learn that Mlor is going to be sacrificed to the dinosaurs to guarantee the villager's safety, and they beg Boss to abolish the barbarous custom.

When Hector warns the cave dwellers of an imminent storm, they shower him with adoration and give him the royal treatment.

Gronk's mother-in-law pays a visit and takes a heavy-handed interest in her granddaughter's personal affairs.

Gronk becomes gravely ill on the eve of the tribe's big dinosaur hunt, and Boss performs a dance to cure him but to no avail.

Hector and Mac resolve to catch the real thief after being accused of stealing various items from the cave dwellers.

Hector and crew leave the stoneage and enter the 20th.

Hector and Mac try to convince a General to come and meet the cave people. Meanwhile Shad, Gronk, and their family visit a beauty parlor and a clothing store to try to help themselves blend in better with other people.

A talent agent overhears the cave family singing in Hector and Mac's apartment and advises the family members to continue to rehears their unique sound.

Mac teaches Gronk and Shadd to write their names. With this new talent they sign up for things.

Breer heads off to school for the first time and things seem to be going well. Then Gronk and Shad decide to check on their son, which leads to multiple misunderstandings and expulsion for Breer.

Hector and Mac bring the cave family to the airbase to meet General Morley as proof they traveled back in time to the Stone Age.

Mac and Hector's landlord wants to kick out Gronk and family from their apartment. But the boys set-up a ruse that they are diplomats from a foreign country who simply dress differently and convince their actor friend to pretend to be the ambassador of the fake nation.

While blasting off, Mac and Hector discover cave-girl Mlor hiding behind an instrument panel in the spaceship.
