Things aren’t looking good for Time After Time. ABC has announced they’re replacing the low-rated series with episodes of Match Game on Sunday nights.
The drama follows a young H.G. Wells (Freddie Stroma) as he travels to the present in pursuit of of the brilliant and engaging surgeon, Dr. John Stevenson (Josh Bowman) a.k.a. “Jack the Ripper.” The cast also includes Génesis Rodríguez, Nicole Ari Parker, Will Chase, Jordan Sparks, and Jennifer Ferrin.
Time After Time premiered on March 5th to very low ratings. The show’s debut received a 0.65 rating in the 18-49 demo and only 2.54 million viewers. The series’ numbers have only declined from there. Only five episodes in, the drama is averaging a 0.54 rating in the 18-49 demo and 2.20 million viewers, making it one of the network’s lowest-rated series for the 2016-2017 season.
While ABC has not officially announced a cancellation (networks rarely do), it seems certain that it’s cancelled, given the terrible ratings and the show being pulled from the schedule. Match Game will air in place of Time After Time beginning April 2nd. There are currently no plans to air the remaining installments.
What do you think? Have you seen Time After Time? Do you think it should have been cancelled?
Ron. I like the show. My wlfe, and my daughter love the show! why cancel,give it more of a chance, was just getting into it! Want to see what happens next. Just bring it back!
sheesh, it never got a chance! It was getting interesting!
Why cancel??? Was looking forward to 4/2 show, WTH!? At least air the rest of the season or make it available to view.
They could at least air the rest of the episodes for the season.
I was really getting into the show why would you cancel it?
I just started watching this show. I love it. Why would anyone cancel it. It is one of the best new show on TV.
I am sorry to hear that this may be canceled, I really enjoy the show. I wish they would give it another chance.
Who wants to watch a dumb game show?!!!! Give the show a chance or better yet run all of it during the summer when there is nothing to watch!!! It is a good show! Some of the best shows started out slow till word of mouth boosted them up. I hate game shows!! ABC is getting worse and worse. The only 2 shows I watch every week on ABC besides Time After Time, are Designated Survivor( which is
great!) and General Hospital.
What is wrong with thes tv executives and their obsession with ratings????? I love Time after Time and it is a great show!!!! Leave the game shows to the Game Show network!!!! Leave this sow alone and let it run its course.
It’s not the TV executives who are obsessed with ratings. It is their customers.
Both my son and I have enjoyed watching “Time after Time”. I hope the network decides to continue the show as it has an unusual concept.
Have all episodes recorded, but haven’t watched any yet, so haven’t formed an opinion. Should I hope not to like it?
Time after Time is a great show why replace it with a pointless game show. Please show the rest of the season first then decide.
This is extremely disappointing to read. My husband, and myself, really enjoy “Time After Time:. For it to be pulled is ridiculous. If on April 2 the matchgame is put in it’s place. We certainly will NOT be watching. It seems that the ‘walking dead’ are running the networks now.
Actually, the GREEDY DEAD are running the Networks. Look at how many shows with pathetic ratings are coming back because the Networks want to try and get them to syndication.
Will there actually be new “Match Game” episodes starting this Sunday?
I like Time after time. Its a good show. I hole they dont cancel. And please show the rest of the season.
It was a refreshing drama show, loved it, sorry to hear it is gone.
