“Pilot” – Using the 1979 novel and movie as a launching point, “Time After Time” chronicles the adventures of a young H.G. Wells, as he travels through centuries, decades and days in the time machine he created. In the pursuit of the charismatic (yet secretly psychopathic) Dr. John Stevenson, better known as “Jack the Ripper,” Wells arrives in modern day New York City, searching for Stevenson after the doctor escapes authorities in Wells’ London home. But instead of the Utopia he imagined, Wells finds a world more aligned with Stevenson’s temperament in a series charged with danger and adventure, and centered in thrills, satire, humor – and most of all, an epic love story, SUNDAY, MARCH 5 (9:00–10:00 p.m. EST), on the ABC Television Network.
“I Will Catch You” – Presented with the real possibility that Vanessa Anders is in fact Wells’ great granddaughter, H.G. and Jane continue to search for Dr. John Stevenson, but when their final face-to-face meeting goes anything but planned, the doctor is back on the loose, on “Time After Time,” SUNDAY, MARCH 5 (10:00–11:00 p.m. EST), on the ABC Television Network.

What do you think? Do you enjoy time-travel shows? Will you watch Time After Time?
Good show….why… could it be because leading lady was Mexican…that would be poor judgment,because Genesis Rodriguez is a beautiful actress and person…
I’m excited to see this show, hope it’s great and lasts..hope they don’t cancel the damn show before it really even starts…
The movie is a favorite of mine. It’s clever and sweet, and the chemistry between Malcolm McDowell and Mary Steenburgen is epic. Will surely watch. Hope the series is decent or better.
Won’t last, its on ABC.
