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?
I think time after after time was doomed on a sunday night time slot show isn’t half bad but definitely the wrong night to air
I would much rather see Time after Time than Match game. I love time travel shows and the cast was very good. Maybe a better time slot would bring more attention. Five shows isn’t much of a chance…..TV guide use to have a segment best shows your not watching well this falls into that category. Give it at better chance.
no one is watching the match game !!!!!!!!
Finally got a chance to see it all episode recorded, I wanted to see more and I thought I had forgotten to set my DVR…but end up finding out that Time After Time had been cancelled WHY??? It was good show. That how I started with Once Upon a Time, thought it wasn’t going to be that good and has lasted till 2017. It would be nice if ABC will give a chance.
I REALLY enjoyed this show! It should have remained on the air and continued. Networks are never willing to give a chance! There were fans out there and I was one of them! SO SO SO SAD!
Very disappointed to hear this. I agree, this makes you not want to watch any new series. You just get invested in the characters and the story and the network cancels it. Bring it back. I never watch shows when they air. I always DVR shows and watch them later. Most people I know do the same. Not sure how the network is able to gauge this audience.
I liked show. They didn’t give it a chance.
I loved the show.
I really liked the show. Very disappointed that it was cancelled. Would love to see the remaining episodes.
I was really looking forward to watching the next episodes. I enjoyed the show. I am very disappointed that the show was “pulled and replaced”.
Enjoyed episodes shown. Was looking forward to continued story line. Sorry to hear show cancelled without support.
for heavens sake I don’t like this too much but replacing it with Match Game ugh disgusting go find something wholesome and entertaining for a change
ABC never gives a show a chance, they throw it out there with no hype and hope people find it, a dumb way to run a network. It was a very good show and whoever is making these decisions should probably find a different line of work. Another good show they cancelled unfairly was Forever, such a good show
Get ready to match the stars! Bill Cullen, Brett Somers, Charles Nelson Reiley, Joanne Pflugg, Richard Dawson and Betty White. As we play the star -studded, big money, Match Game ’76! And now, here’s the star of Match Game ’76: Gene Rayburn!
I agree I loved Forever too and one and done again.
It was a fun show and I would have continued to watch.
Just when the plot was starting to get interesting the show gets pulled. If nothing else at least show the remaining episodes since they have already been done, and paid for. Then we know what will happen.
