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.

I love this show so much!!!! I’m a history teacher and love how this show is on point on the history facts . My kids love watching it with me and we bond over this show. Please give it another try!
My wife and I love this show. Would be sorely disappointed if it is not renewed.
This is a great show. Please give it another season at the very least!
This is my favourite show every Monday I watch it and if I have something going on I have it too automatically record. I have loved it since the first trailer on global. Please do not cancel this amazing show there are very few good time travel shows. So please do not cancel!!
I love Timeless!! Please renew it NBC!!!
This is the ONLY broadcast TV series I’m watching this season. It has an interesting premise, an excellent cast, and very good scripts (although I’ve caught a couple of instances where “that couldn’t happen that way.”
I hope it’s renewed.
I really hope they renew this show. It’s one of the few on regular networks that I actually enjoy the creativity of and it’s not so horribly violent or political. It’s a winner for anyone who likes science fiction, mystery, and comedy. It’s light hearted but certainly not lacking in surprises and the costumes And historic set designs are super fun!
We love this show..pretty tight script..love the time travel concept.. please don’t cancel the show. I love flynn (villain) so much and feel bad for what happened to him.. I wish if flynn, lucy, wyatt and rufus were one team. All the characters and plots are so well depicted.. I just cant comprehend how people dint like it. Love from India
I would be very disappointed if Timeless was cancelled. It is extremely well written and the sets and wardrobe are historically accurate ! One of the best shows to come along in a long time !
Our family really loves the show. We hope you consider a season 2.
Everyone in our family is hooked on the show. We’d be REALLY disappointed if it was cancelled.
We watch Timeless as a family and love it! The current time slot is late for us, so we have to DVR it. We want to see Season 2!!!!
My husband and I have enjoyed watching Timeless; KEEP IT for season 2!
Keep Timeless first original series action since xfiles.. My whole family loves the show ..
Absolutely hoping there’s a Season 2! They’ve left way too much unresolved!!!
