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 this series, Timeless! Please renew. Love the history and chemistry of the characters. I’m hooked!
Love this show! Didn’t think I would like it and it’s one of my favourites.
The series is fantastic! Love the history. Watched the first 10 episodes back to back. Bring on season 2!
Please renew Timeless for a second season! It’s one of my favorites!
Please RENEW Timeless.I started to watch Timeless OnDemand during a snow storm. I was captivated by the plot and started to watch one episode after another. I really like this show and want it to continue. Maybe a change to a different time slot like 8pm or 9pm instead of the 10 pm slot would garner more older viewers like me who don’t fall into the younger demographic that seems to lean to the raunchy, mindless sitcoms that are put on the earlier times.
Please renew Timeless, my husband and I love to watch it. It’s smart and interesting. Figure out a way to make Flynn a good guy. I love him.
This is a better than average, not great show, but the ratings will doom it. Coming in third with a 0.6 this past episode is not renewal material. The networks don’t care what people on boards like these say. Perhaps if the writers could go back and minimize the Rittenhouse arc, more people would have watched. I am tiring of Rittenhouse.
That 0.6 dropped it to a 1.14. It now has a chance to finish below a 1.1 Maybe they should have put it in the Wednesday 8 pm eastern standard time slot. They gave it The Voice as a lead in for the fall, and the ratings were awful. I don’t see them renewing it.
For what it is worth, last night the Minneapolis/greater MN area was unable to watch Timeless because KARE 11 decided to air a 2018 Super Bowl Countdown show (it will be here in Mpls next). I also saw on Twitter last night there were areas of CT and NJ that lost the network feed about halfway through.
Please renew! It’s one of the few that’s not raunchy or mindless. It’s smart, it can be sexy, and it’s not over the top. I love this show so much because it’s not like the stupid shows that are on. An earlier time slot would be ideal, but for now, I just want the show regardless. Thank you.
Please,please renew Tineless! It is my favorite show – Tuesday mornings have me delving into htat topic in history a little further..what a great way to teach your children to love and value the past. I would suggest an earlier time slot because I find it hard to stay awake.
I love love love this show. It is smart , thought provoking television. Our group of family and friends watch it and text each other during the show. We really enjoy putting the puzzle pieces of this show together to try to figure out where it will ultimately lead. This is quality tv! Please don’t cancel this show. If ratings aren’t what you’d like please market it better or let it make a splash in a new time slot. The cast is great. The writing is creative. The way it contrasts old thinking and new is wonderful. This show is… Read more »
