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 keep it going
Please keep the show, love it
Timeless is a really fantastic show. The characters have great chemistry and we are just beginning to tap into the mysteries that keep me tuning in. Please give them a chance to flesh it all out! It’s a show worth keeping around.
Love this show.
I absolutely adore this show… PLEASE keep it going
Boring boring boring. I’m moving on!
Smartest show NBC has put on the air since the West Wing. Keep this going NBC. You have another potential smash hit on your hands if you let it ride through season 2 you will see I am right. Thank you.
I love this show
I really love this show…out of all the episodes, the best was 1754. Unfortunately the worst was the next episode. I feel this show has HUGE potential and I am in to watch it and fight for it to be kept. NBC needs to not make yet ANOTHER hasty decision and look past early profits and let this show dig in and grab the broader audience. Better publicity and not taking weeks off will really help. Please give this show a go NBC. Thank you.
I really want to like this show. But the stories are getting boring. What would be so bad about spending a few episodes per “trip” to weave a more intricate storyline? Initially, I thought having Lucy’s sister disappear as a consequence of a small change in the past was interesting twist. Now, they don’t even bother–it’s just post-trip googling to see what changed. There’s absolutely no depth to the story. They jump to the past, foil Flynn, and return, rinse and repeat. Rittenhouse is a cliched “illuminati” metaphor, and the only character getting any development is Rufus. They need much… Read more »
I just started watching this show and right off the bat I liked it. However, after watching the first four episodes back to back I find the character Lucy extremely cold and disconnected. Even in the scene with her sister, she seemed uncomfortable and cold when she should have been relaxed and warm. I would love to to see a second season if only there is a major revamp of Lucy. P. S. I liked Abigail Spencer in Rectify so my review of this show is strictly based on the character and not the actors.
I’m ditching this show for the same reason I did with blind spot. Way way way too much background music. For example hurry hurry, quick, something’s going to happen… boom boom boom, look out, behind that Barrel, something’s going to take you… boom boom boom boom. Can’t take these type of shows anymore, the background music just drive me completely insane, same goes for laugh tracks and live audiences.
Best show on tv next to the Blacklist just stay away from NFL broadcasts time slots that is suicide for new shows
I love this show. The story and the characters are great. Please renew for another season.
I like this show. It is rare that a typical run of the mill action type program catches my attention, but this one did. The premise is good and I for one hope they give it a chance and let it continue for another season.
The greatest show on television currently. The ONLY show I look forward to each and every Monday Night! I’m A football fan and Timeless is the only program that pulls Me from watching Monday Night Football. Keep up the great work and for the love of God….PLEASE RENEW!
