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?
This is a show that makes you think on some of events that happened in the past and I think it should be renewed. Great story line and cast that could continue indefinitly. KEEP it NBC.
YAY!
NBC thank you for an entertaining and educational program. SO very happy you RENEWED!!!!!!!!!!
REALLY??? you cancelled a show that the whole family could sit down and watch and LEARN about history sure hope its picked up by another network…shame on you NBC
Congrats NBC! How many favorable comments are you seeing of the many 1000’s across the Internet about this axing? Nothing But Compost network.
I’m really sorry to see this show end. I genuinely liked it. My wife and I watched every week and looked forward to it each week. There’s so much junk on TV, a smart show like this was a breath of fresh air.
I can’t believe another great show has been cancelled!!! Not everyone wants to watch these trashy shows that seem to be everywhere. Our family loved watching Timeless every week. It was such an awesome show about history.
I can’t believe they cancelled it … it was to good of a show . Television made a big mistake with this they should of rented it for another season or two I loved watching it ❤️ What a shame though I hope they bring it back real soon
What a shame. Timeless was was too good of show to cancel. Television just took a step backward!
I cannot believe that this show was cancelled… It was so good and taught us, reminded us of our history. What a shame, we really liked the quirkyness of the characters.
Yes, I watched this show and sure hope that they renew it for at least another season or two.
Timeless is an excellent show. I miss it a great deal. I hope they bring it back soon.
I love “Timeless”! The acting was great. The history was so interesting! Most of the other shows on TV involve sex, murder, infidelity, lies, etc. This was a clean show. It was so refreshing! The writing was great too. I don’t watch much TV anymore because most of it is not worth watching. Please renew this show.
This was one of the few TV shows I could actually watch with my children. This was such a great way for them to learn different periods of history. Often after watching the show, they would go Google the person or event to learn more. I sure hope NBC doesn’t cancel it.
I really enjoyed this show! I vote to renew this for a 2nd & 3 rd seasons. Going back thru history is awesome.
