My Mother the Car

My Mother the Car is a quirky American sitcom from the 1960s that aired from 1965 to 1966. The show has a bizarre premise: a man named Dave Crabtree (played by Jerry Van Dyke) discovers that his deceased mother has been reincarnated as a 1928 Porter automobile. The car, voiced by Ann Sothern, communicates with him through the car radio and often offers advice, much like a typical mother would.

The show was considered one of the more unusual sitcoms of its time and is often remembered for its odd concept. Despite its unique premise, it wasn’t very successful in the ratings and only lasted one season, but it has gained a certain cult following over the years due to its sheer novelty.
