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 really like this show. It is something different and somewhat educational while being entertaining.
I love the show and the cast I am very disappointed that the season finally is next week I remember when TV shows lasted 20 to 25 episodes.
Come people! Watch the show the same day!
Keep the show, as it is one of the better show to be produced in a long time, one of a few shows that i look forward to watchin.
Love this show. It accurate to history. They don’t teach this in school, it’s nice to have a fun history lesson every week. Good cast and good writing. Let’s see a season 2!
I really like Timeless and I don’t watch much regular tv. Will continue to watch the show if you keep it on.
I love this show!! I don’t watch is live as we don’t get TV at our house and with two little ones I don’t get the cut out “tv time” but on the weekends I catch up on the few shows that I do watch on hulu after my kids are in bed and I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! There is so much garbage on and this is the first show in so long that I have watched and enjoyed, which makes my husband happy because he is tired of having to rewatch all of my old shows.
I love this show, please don’t cancel and give it some more time to build it’s following.
I love Timeless I hope they do not cancell the show. I love how it jumps around through different times periods
Timeless is a wonderful show. Thank you for giving the world a smart and fearless female character who can engineer a computer out of broken parts to outsmart a bunch of corrupt men!!!! Shows need more characters like Jiya!!!!!!!!!
I love Timeless–the acting is superb, the clothing & sets excellent, the story lines both interesting from a historical perspective and in regards to the underlying mystery. Timeless blends SciFy with historical fiction with mystery with romance perfectly.
And I actually learn something new nearly every episode! I tend to get lost down the Internet rabbit hole after each episode!
I want to see how everything plays out and will give up watching NBC if they cancel yet another new show I’ve risked investing myself in…
Auntie_M, if you like seeking out more information about subjects you have seen on Timeless, try reading The Devil in the White City about the Chicago World’s Fair and HH Holmes and Go Down Together which is a great, well researched book about Bonnie and Clyde.
I love timeless and it should stay on
We love, love, love timeless. It will only grow in popularity. It is clean historical and action adventure.
We love Timeless! Please don’t cancel it, it’s a refreshing change from all the other shows that are so similar to each other.
My wife and I really like Timeless. There continues to be a good mysterious intrigue without a lot of grotesque violence.
