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.

My husband and I love Timeless. Please, please, please, let it return.
Wonderful show with great history content. Hope it gets renewed
Exactly true!
Great show, please renew for at least one more season.
Please please renew Timeless! My husband has a bachelor’s degree in history and it has been so much fun to watch this show and learn new details about big historical events! And as a history buff, my husband has been impressed by the details, down to the smallest ones… this show is fun, informative, and addicting! RENEW TIMELESS!!
I love this show! The history content is so much fun! I did actually did tear up when they met Lincoln and laughed with all the James Bond references! Please keep this show on!! I’m really tired of all the cop shows, reality crap, and tired old shows!
Love the show! Can’t wait for 2nd season
cancel please the writing is bad
Please renew it as soon as possible
This series is excellent and has you sitting on the edge of your seat. The anticipation and twists and turns of each episode just keeps the audience wanting more. It is intelligent, well written and and well casted and I love how the characters evolve and learn more about themselves and how we as an audience grow attached to the characters. There are so many silly TV shows but Timeless is a winner that will grow on the viewers and the ratings will go up, it just needs not to compete with the established favorite series on particular nights, Fridays… Read more »
I rarely watch TV. I’ve never been a fan of reality shows or sitcoms. I haven’t enjoyed a series in over four years. Timeless is a breath of fresh air. My whole family watches together, (and with two boys, that never happens). At the end of every episode, we can’t wait until the next. If Timeless gets cancelled, I think I’ll give up on TV altogether.
I enjoyed watching this show and hope it is renewed.
they should renew it
Getting fed up with episodic series being cancelled. I invest time watching a story unfold and then find I wasted my time. Imagine a book being published with only half the story.
I really ejoy this show. I hope they renew it
Please don’t cancel, love the history aspect.
