Telly’s Take
For whatever reason, the networks seem to be fixated on time travel this season. Fortunately for Timeless, it was the first to air. It also didn’t hurt that the peacock network scheduled it to follow their most popular series, The Voice. Timeless had a positive start. Unfortunately, the ratings have been falling quite rapidly. Though it’s been hyped as a hit, Timeless is no Blacklist. It’s also not a cheap series to produce (lots of new costumes and sets each week). Unless the numbers miraculously get better (where’s a time machine when you need it?), I think time is short for Timeless. The television vulture has reason to watch this one closely.

It’s cancelled
Watched the 1st two episodes then lost all interest. Silly on so many levels. Hard to believe people actually feel they are learning history with this show. Where did they spend their high school years?
This is a great show with fantastic characters, not laced with profanity and sex. The second season finally was great. really would hope enough people watched to get it renewed for a 3rd season
I am concerned that they brought it back during “March Madness” I missed the first two episodes for this reason. Thankfully I have “on demand”.
Timeless, to me, is the single most gripping TV series since Dallas. I love si fi movies espetially time travel and when I sow Timeless for the first time I was over the moon. As I don’t watch much TV (as a result of the “crap” that’s on) it was only at the seventh episode however and unfortunately that I got to know about the series and I made every effort to get hold of the first 6 episodes. Not only is it an awesome show but truly strikes home so many messages and educational information. The actors are brilliant… Read more »
love this show! great actors, please bring it back soon
I am totally in love with the show because it is exciting, dynamic, fascinating and it is not laced with vulgar profanity.
I do not spend a lot of time watching tv but this show is wonderful! It is like a history lesson with each episode! Love it!
I absolutely love this show! Great actors with very interesting story lines. It is a show I can watch with my 13 and 16 year old sons. Lots of action and adventures. We are hooked. Do not cancel this show!!!
I loved the show and didn’t miss an episode. Please bring it back for a second season!!
Waiting patiently to see season 2.
This is probably why series do t make it, you give us 8 or 10 episodes then it goes on hiatus for too long. By the time you bring back the show, we are already watching something else in it’s time slot. You’ll never learn.
When is timeless coming back on? Can’t wait to see season 2.
Film & sound editor, It’s about time quality has found a place. Good story lines , great talents , seamless transitions . With endless possibilities ..
As someone once said ” Live Long An Prosper “.
