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.

What do you think? Are you glad that the Timeless TV show has been renewed for a second season? Would you have been upset if this series had stayed cancelled?
I hope Timeless will be renewed. I enjoyed the actors and the storyline was getting stronger each week.
Please keep this on, one of the best. Please leave something like this rather than the endless reality nonsense
Our household of 3 generations LOVES Timeless!! Please renew. We have watched every episode. This show has a great combination of fantasy, sci-fi, intelligence, great character development, great cast synergy, and a lot of class. And it doesn’t talk down to the audience. Hard to find shows that aren’t inane, and that the generations can watch together without cringing! Love it! RENEW
This is such an awesome show, no cursing to speak of, adventure, history, I record it to be sure I don’t miss a single episode. Please keep this show going. It is one of the few really decent shows there is to watch and I thoroughly enjoy it
My wife and I are thoroughly enjoying this show, we watched it as the story built and now we’re on a knife edge. We’re sick of so many rubbish shows popping up and then great shows like Timeless ending too soon. Don’t let Timeless end up like Now and Again as one strong example of a great show gone too soon.
I really like this show so I hope it doesn’t get cancelled.
There aren’t many shows that all of my kids and I watch together. We DVR it, and my adult son watches it on Hulu. We have debates on who Rittenhouse could be in the real world. Conspiracy theories abound! And we LOVE the chemistry, the adventure, and the fun found in this series. Please renew this NBC!!!
Please keep this show!! I am a history teacher and this is a great show to teach how if one thing is different our history has changed!! We DVR it so we can watch it with our youngest! It has helped to teach her history and she is interested!!! PLEASE KEEP IT!!!!

I love the show timeless. Characters are heartfelt, comical and very entertaining. Best cast ever. Please don’t cancel my favorite show.
Thoroughly enjoy Timeless!!! Please DO NOT cancel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I sure hope TIMELESS is renewed! I feel it is one of the best series on right now! WELL thought out and well written! Great antagonist with a motive with meaning. I love the aspect of how different happenings have in fact changed the world as the characters know it. The result of tampering with the past. My 14-year old son and 10-year old daughter are both very much engaged in the show. And my wife, who is a teacher, is a major history buff… she wants to watch the series but will not start until she can watch from… Read more »
