This is news to me too… My Mother the Car is a classic American sitcom that aired on NBC from September 14, 1965 to April 5, 1966. The series follows the surreal premise of a man (Dave Crabtree) who discovers his deceased mother has been reincarnated as a restored 1928 Porter automobile.

Yeah, 'My Mother the Car' is often named in discussions of 'worst TV shows of all time', at least back in a time when the show was still more in the collective memory than nowadays. It was cancelled after just one season. Wiki says: "In 2002, TV Guide proclaimed it to be the second-worst television show of all time, behind The Jerry Springer Show". It was also the inspiration behind the Love-Matic Grandpa segment in the Simpsons spinoffs episode, where Grandpa died and reincarnated as a love-testing machine in Moe's bar. The cheesy OTT laughing track in that segment in particular is lifted straight from the source. I'd never before noticed that the actors in the 'Les Cousins Dangéreux' film resemble George Michael and Maeby till you pointed it out!

I don’t think I ever noticed the tape on Lucille 2’s window in the background before! 😂 That is hilarious.

This is driving me nuts. Fourth worst would be better than all the kids. Fourth worst out of four is best!
