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?
Absolutely not!! We were just getting into this very entertaining show!! Renew please!
I liked Time after Time, bring it back to the same time slot or a different one,but just pull it.
I thought Time After Time was a new and innovative show. They should at least give it a chance for a full season. Maybe move it to a better night as well.
You are asking too much from the Big 3 Networks. Remember, they STILL think they are responsible for telling us what we like, what to think and what to buy. They don’t realize that other Cable Networks are blowing them out of the water in ratings and awards.
It’s like CNN, FOX News, MSNBC, etc. thinking they still have full control on how we perceive politics and events in America and around the world. They just don’t like losing this “Control” over us common folk.
Maybe they should have tried another time slot for time after time finally some good television with a different twist! Bring it back plze
I wish you would at least finish the season. ABC is the worst network for leaving you hanging. Every year I find myself wishing I never started watching your shows due to no closure and left hanging. The only shows that you want to air is reality shows. These are cheaper to make I guess but enough already. I want to watch something entertaining that isn’t dancing,or falling in love. Time after Time is a show that both me and my husband could enjoy. Please start giving these shows a chance. With so many networks and young people streaming movies,… Read more »
Very sad to see this one got cancelled. Yes, it is not “perfect” but it was visually creative and the actors all gave it 100%. A few more episodes might have helped it gain more of a ratings share. Also, why not finish showing the episodes that were made?
Disappointed to hear the show has (apparently) been canceled. Was enjoying watching it using the ABC app.
It’s a great premise and it deserved a better fate. Perhaps Netflix or Hulu will pick it up?
Some of the greatest shows had a slow start, as many good stories do. ABC is the “king” of hyping up a show and when it isn’t immediately successful, just pulling the plug and leaving viewers hanging. They also have the worst website for viewing shows after the air-date… no recent episodes section… you have to know what you want and dig around until you find it. They try some of the best stories… and drop them just as they’re catching on. Here’s a clue from a viewer: finish the first season at least or we’ll be reluctant to even… Read more »
They should check to see how many views it was getting on HULU. that might change their minds.
Time after Time was just getting it’s footing. It’s a shame to cancel it before the show has a chance to take off. I really like this show and would at least like to see the remaining episodes of the season. Rather than wait for the series single season to come out of DVD, or worse yet, to wait for the rest of the season to air on some obscure channel in syndication. Perhaps it will air on Netflix before then.
Please don’t cancel time after time!!! I thought it was going to be the same as “Forever” but it was not! and people of this time found out rite away and its just getting good. come on pleasee do NOT CANCEL thanks for this place to say so. thank u
Loved it, but the jack the Ripper plot was too familiar. Although true to the source material the series needed to get rid of Jack quickly and turn to new mysteries, and/or leave present day New York and head for new more imaginative pastures as H.G. tracked Jack. The main actors were terrific–and the writing was good, but it needed a more original take on this story.
I am very very tired of stations dropping series without even giving them a fair chance. And we do NOT need Match Game of all things a game show on a Sunday night wedged in between two other very good shows. Time After Time made out of Ben stellar in ratings, but it was very enjoyable and very well done and very appropriate following Once Upon a Time! Bring it back!!!
The Pilot was dull.. The Characters.. dull. The premise..fine if it was a one shot or maybe a mini-series but a TV Series ?! No way. Timeless is rather out there as well but it hella entertaining.
TIME AFTER TIME IS A GREAT SHOW. I AM 60 AND LOVE IT. ABC SHOULD RECONSIDER OR ANOTHER NETWORK SHOULD PICK IT UP.
