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?


Would love to see a second season…each episode kept you watching for what would happen next…very good show. Will be very disappointed if they cancel it.
Please renew!!!!! My son and I watched the whole season this last week! We really like it!
Please renew this show it’s incredible!!!!!
PLEASE RENEW TIMELESS!! Incredible smartly written show with a great cast!!!!
We really enjoy this show. Hope they can figure out a new direction to keep this on the air
My 11 year Old son and I watch this faithfully together. It’s wonderful to experience history and fantasy together and a terrific way for us to bond at this time in his life. Please renew this show!
Please don’t cancel it. This is the one show I watch on TV. I would suggest tweaking the sounds as the voices can be harder to hear over the background sound.
Love Timeless! Please renew
Keep “Timeless”!!
I liked it please stop making everything about race
The show seemed to devolve into “See how the past is full of racist white people!” in every episode. White bashing gets kind of old episode after episode. Don’t care if this one gets renewed or not. Liked the twist at the end of the season, probably has potential if they can deviate from the constant “oh look how hard it is for black people in the past” mantra every episode. We get the point already.
Love the show. Great chemistry between actors. Hope network sees the wisdom in renewing it!
I really hope so too
I would seriously miss this show, I am already disappointed that 16 shows is all we’re getting so far. I will definetely re watch and binge it. The actors are great, the story is believable und I really want to see Amy come back to her sister. The new time travel shows that just came out “Making history” and “time after time” are nowhere close as good. So please keep it on, it has great potential and I am sure there are enough old costumes to keep the show going. 😉
I Love Timeless . Don’t cancel the show it is a really great show.
I love Timeless! It was my favorite show this season! Please don’t cancel it!!!!!
