In 1965 [[NBC]] put a show on opposite ''[[Combat]]'' and ''[[Rawhide]]'' about the antics of lawyer Dave Crabtree ([[Jerry Van Dyke]], who would later be more famous for ''[[Coach]]''), a typically hapless sitcom family man who discovers that his mother has returned from the grave as a 1928 Porter open touring automobile (a Ford Model T modified by the then-ubiquitous George Barris, who also did the [[The Monkees (band)|Monkeemobile]] and the '60s [[Batman (TV series)|Batmobile]]).
'''''My Mother the Car''''' was critically lambasted and caused NBC to be something of a laughing-stock for greenlighting it in the first place. The [[Ratings]] were horrid. (Except in what we now call the young-adult demographic. Back then, they didn't track that sort of thing.) In spite of all that, NBC left the show on for an entire season.
