My Mother the Car (1965–1966) watch online

My Mother the Car is an American fantasy sitcom that aired for a single season on NBC between September 14, 1965, and April 5, 1966. Thirty episodes were produced by United Artists Television. The series is about a man whose deceased mother's spirit inhabits an antique car, and which communicates with him through the car radio. Many TV comedies of the 1960s utilized similar premises of extraordinary characters in ordinary situations: a talking horse (Mister Ed), a Martian (My Favorite Martian), a beautiful robot (My Living Doll), a suburbanite witch (Bewitched), an obedient genie (I Dream of Jeannie), or a flying nun (The Flying Nun).

My Mother the Car had an experienced production team with extensive comedy credentials: Rod Amateau (The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show and The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis), Allan Burns (who wrote for Jay Ward and went on to create several critically acclaimed shows, including The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Rhoda, and Lou Grant), James L. Brooks (Room 222, Taxi, and later served as executive producer of The Simpsons) and Chris Hayward (who produced and wrote for Barney Miller during its first several seasons).

Critics and adult viewers panned the show. In 2002, TV Guide proclaimed it to be the second-worst television show of all time, behind The Jerry Springer Show. TV Land's first day of programming in April 1996 included the series premiere as part of a collection of television firsts and rarities, billing it as "the strange but true... infamous series".
