Only Andy is currently being shown; the station is giving Dick a rest for several years. If I remember correctly, It's About Time was based on two astronauts who are launched into flight and fall to earth in 2000 B.C. During the second year, the premise was changed to bring the cast (neanderthals and all) into the present. There is a book out called The Great T.V. Sitcom Book, and it lists every television sitcom ever made, as well as giving a synopsis of the series, including plots and cast names. It ranges from My Mother, the Car to Cheers and has extensive coverage of those shows that had a major influence on television, such as M*A*S*H. If anyone would like further information on this book, please contact me. Marilyn Ashley ihnp4!ihuxm!marno
