Once again, NBC is launching a new TV show in the timeslot following The Voice. While the ratings are always very positive in the beginning, the numbers frequently plunge once the series is moved to another night. Some of these shows have been renewed, some have been cancelled. Will Timeless see a second season? Stay tuned.
An action-adventure series, Timeless begins as a mysterious criminal (Goran Visnjic) steals a secret state-of-the-art time machine, intent on destroying America by changing the past. The country’s only hope is an 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 the villain. The rest of the cast includes Paterson Joseph, Sakina Jaffrey and Claudia Doumit.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Timeless TV series? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
5/13 update: NBC reversed their decision to cancel Timeless and renewed the series for a second season. Details here.
I LOVE IT! Great premise, great chemistry between the actors! KEEP IT!
I love it! Love the premise and love the chemistry between the characters! Please keep it!
I really love this show! I think the subject is very interesting, and I think Matt Lanter is an awesome actor who has been somehow overlooked for years. I do hope it has success and is renewed for a second season.
It’s a good show, I like the pacing of the action. In this day and age, you’re gonna get PC, like it or not. A little less would be fine with me. I’d also like to see more changes “downstream”, there has to be some because not all the people that get shot are destined to die.
Hi, I too enjoy the show. Anyone who enjoys history should like these type shows… I saw below about someone talking about the Time Tunnel. I remember that show from 1966. Hope the ratings will keep it going. Alittle too much PC at times but wouldn’t expect anything less in today’s world. Jessica, you are right. Any show with some intelligence doesn’t seem to make it far. Alot of top shows out there that are brainless.
I love this show! I’m sure it will get cancelled. Any show that has even mild intelligence never seems to make it very far.
yes i think the same, surely will get cancelled despite are good series.
A 1.59 live average won’t get it cancelled, but it’s doing worse in this slot than either Blindspot or The Blacklist did in this spot in their first seasons. if Scorpion ever regains its audience, this show will probably tank big time. I’m looking forward to seeing that happen.
wow im surprised the 1st episode had around 7.6 million, views i didn’t think this show was that good
poor man’s rip off of the 1960s TIme Tunnel
I love this show!!
I’ve always enjoyed shows dealing with time travel. Hope it gets renewed
The moderators of this site are more PC than just about any other media. I posted a comment extolling the unique positive qualities of America and it was censored. Its sad to think that praising the country in which we live is considered too controversial to be seen. The future of free speech is most assuredly in grave danger.
Your comment wasn’t deleted. It’s here: http://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/designated-survivor-full-season-order-new-abc-series/#comment-2442624 Thanks for the accusation.
Well Trevor….that might help your cause IF I was referring to my posting on Designated Survivor. Unfortunately, I was referencing my attempt to post here on Timeless. Previously I objected to TIMELESS writers using the show as a “Morality Play” in which white males are portrayed in as the axis of evil throughout American history. Now you can either post my original comment…or…this statement….or if you’re retract your comment.
Sorry, Chuck. I thought you were referring to the very similar comment you made on the Designated Survivor post. I hope that you saw my response to your accusation there. I can’t find any record of a comment from you on any Timeless post on this site. I do see 129 other comments on other posts.
Thanks Trevor. Obviously I don’t know what happened to my first attempt to post here. I got the usual awaiting moderator review statement & in this case…wrongly…assumed my comments had been censored. As an historical aside…Lincoln did not free the slaves from the 4 slave states who fought with the Union. He also planned to relocate all slaves out of the U.S. after the war. So…one could argue the merits of his assassination on the course of history re. slavery.
Is it just me or does the audio for this show really, really suck. It is almost as if there is way too much low-mid frequencies making it sound like everybody is talking through a mouthful of cotton.
I found it interesting so sure I would most likely keep watching
Loved it!! The season preview they showed at the end looked promising.
The premier episode did not do much for me. Suspect script, so so acting, even the premise of the main characters. Unless it improves, it’s off my list.
A smart decision by you to dump it.
I’m inclined to agree with the assessment, if not the watch-list removal. I’ll keep watching because its a fun show, but but all aspects of the show need to improve, acting, production quality, and writing. I loves me some Abigail Spencer, but she’s a B-actress at best and (just barely) not good enough to carry the show; though she’d probably be a more worthy choice if they hadn’t paired her with with the vanilla Matt Latner. Latner is just eye candy, but so incredibly bland in both acting ability and appearance. Goran Visnjic is pure quality, but gets almost no… Read more »
