My Mother the Car

My Mother the Car was a TV sitcom which ran a single season (1965-1966). However, the title and premise later became widely spoofed and mocked for their absurdity and the show regularly discussed in retrospectives and books on bad television. As the title implies, a man buys an antique car, a 1928 Porter, only to find it's the reincarnation of his mother.
