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.

One of the few shows on television that I can watch with my little one and discuss our favorite subject…history!! Please bring it back!
Great point!
Yes I would be sad if Timeless was not renewed! More than sad I would say angry that it was gone. Want to see what happens to these characters and where the story will go from here. PLEASE bring it back!!!
Love this show, extremely well done all around. fantastic performances and well written , I NEED to see more. Judging by the season finally its looking like all systems go!!
My wife and I thoroughly love Timeless. The costumes are great and the actors have fun, relatable chemistry. With so many shows about a fictional White House and president and current world events it is refreshing to have a show like Timeless that has a bit of fantasy mixed in with history and escapism!!!
Two worthy tv shows. This Is Us and Timeless. Finally, worthy shows that make us feel, teach us history, no ridiculous violence that allows me to watch with my kids. Timeless exceptionally well played by newcomers and SUCCESSFUL, that tells you something. Please bring this show back. And by the way, you mention that this is no Blacklist. You are right. I loved Blacklist when it came out and am a huge James Spader fan, but my husband and I quit watching because it was so gruesome. Please give us programming without violent images. Our world is violent enough. Timeless… Read more »
An excelent show now the story line has quickened in pace.
Please renew it! This is a good show and so much true history. To me this is the best show on tv. I only watch 2 tv shows and Timeless is one of them.
PLEASE BRING BACK THE SHOW
Renew it please. My kids and I love the premise and historical lesson each episode encompassed.
Fun show keep it on!
I love Timeless. I’ve just watched the last episode of season 1. There has to be a season two! You can’t leave fans hanging like this!
I really hope they keep this on the air. There aren’t any shows that both of my kids a 14 year old son and a 17 year old daughter watch together with me. (My daughter and I have our special shows, and my son and I have our special shows) it’s a great mystery and it gets both of the kids interested in history. Every time an episode has ended, they are both on their phones searching out information on who the people are, and their significance to American history. There are no “embarrassing” situations either. Something very rare by… Read more »

Tonight i saw the last episode of season.. and now, inside, i feel .. sad.. empty
This is a great show and deserves a second season. Especially since they let it up in the air like they do so many other series.
