Timeless: NBC Boss Talks About Fan Outcry Following Cancellation

by Jessica Pena, August 3, 2017

Timeless TV show on NBC: season 1 (canceled or renewed?)

Why was Timeless briefly cancelled? Recently, NBC chairman Robert Greenblatt and network president Jennifer Salke explained why the TV show was cancelled then revived, Deadline reports.

An action-adventure drama, Timeless follows the unexpected team of a history professor (Abigail Spencer), a soldier (Matt Lanter), and a scientist (Malcolm Barrett) as they embark on the adventure of a lifetime to stop a villain from destroying America by changing the past. The cast also includes Goran Visnjic, Paterson Joseph, Sakina Jaffrey, and Claudia Doumit.

As reported earlier, NBC cancelled Timeless a few months ago only to reverse their decision days later and renew it for a second season. At this summer’s TCA press conference, Greenblatt explained why the network initially cancelled the series:

We don’t mean to be disingenuous to fans, but we have a lot of things that are doing well, and when you look at the whole schedule, it’s honestly hard to find a place for all these shows. You’ll say that’s a good problem to have, but we had all these various schedules with The Blacklist and the Dick Wolf shows; all these factors led to us saying, ‘Oh, we don’t need this show.’

Salke then mentioned what ultimately brought the show back:

[T]he fan base bombarded us with a feeling that we shared to have this show; it was a collaborative passion swell,”

What do you think? Are you a fan of Timeless? Are you glad it was renewed after all? Will you watch season two?

Timeless was not the best production, it could be better. But it was an important show in that it explored history and the myths about history. Rarely these days are viewers given a fun show that could be educational in part. The producers failed to fully capitalize on this. Sadly, the show has to end. However, with a better budget, better story plots, there could be endless as well as timeless stories to present. That said, I personally will stop watching new TV series, as I have no confidence in the networks and their fickle takes on why a show… Read more »

Fan Outcry? Since we now use +3 and +7 on a regular basis, the show should have been renewed despite its pathetic and disgusting 1.10 live ratings average. The +7 average, which was about a 2.0, was good enough for renewal. Unfortunately, most people who watch this show have ZERO idea what ratings are and don’t care, which is why TV is a mess. Ratings once helped to determine who kept their job. Without them, there is no way to determine who is doing a good job and who is a screwup. Sad!

YES, I’m thrilled to have another season of Timeless. I have said so on this very website about three different times now. Why do you keep posting new “news” on this topic and asking the same question?

Happy to read that the protests against this show’s cancellation actually caused the ‘powers that be’ to rethink their decision. The same thing happened , many years ago, when Star Trek was to be cancelled. Well, these days we email, or tweet, or comment when things like this happen. In those days we wrote ACTUAL letters to the ‘powers’ . Thousands wrote to announce their displeasure and , thank goodness,Star Trek stayed with us. We let them know that it just was not logical to cancel this show. The best Sci Fi programme out there.
