...in fact it makes the "Bob Morrison Show" look like "Fawlty Towers"
I'm talking about the legendary "My Mother The Car" starring Jerry Van Dyke (Dick's brother) that ran for a couple of seasons in the mid 1960s. Yep, you guessed it, a bloke finds that the car he owns is his re-inCARnated dead mother.
Yes...that is the premise for the show. She talks to him and everything. A little bit of "Knightrider" and a lot of "The Love-testing Grandpa" episode of the Simpsons.
Anyway, it has been popping up late on Fox Classics, so those with Cable TV, keep an eye out for it, approx 11.00 each weeknight.
Sit back and feel your jaw drop to the floor. You have never seen anything like it.
Here is a taste...the theme tune. A jaunty little number that explains it all.
"Everybody knows in a second life, we all come back sooner or later.
As anything from a pussycat to a man eating alligator.
Well you all may think my story, is more fiction than it's fact.
But believe it or not my mother dear decided she'd come back.
As a car...
She's my very own guiding star.
A 1928 Porter.
That's my mother dear.
'Cause she helps me through everything I do
And I'm so glad she's near.
My Mother the Car.
My Mother the car."
