Time Travel Shows
OK, I will admit that time travel shows are my weakness even if they suck. I hope that Netflix is bringing back The Travelers even if it's not great except for some characters.

That said they seem to bring back some really terrible old shows so my question is where is "Seven Days"? Cheesy time travel but I loved it.

Time Tunnel was broadcast on METV for awhile. A pretty good show.

My favorite TT movie is The Philadelphia Experiment closely followed by The Final Countdown.

My favorite show back when it was on was Quantum Leap.

I'm not a big fan of Scott Bakula, but he starred on Quantum Leap for about five years.




You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

I loved Sliders too, but wasn't that about alternate universes?

I was about ten or eleven when the Time Tunnel was on.
Loved that show.

Star Trek is always good for time travel.

"The Fantastic Journey" was a fun show about time warps and time travel in the Bermuda Triangle. It only lasted ten episodes in 1977 before being cancelled. There was a lot that could have been done with the basic premise, though I never understood where all of the land was. Roddy McDowell and Jared Martin starred.

I think a more accurate description would be they had lots of it.
But IMO whenever a Star Trek series started interjecting time travel, it was never a good thing.

I am not very scientific so I count them as the same thing. I really enjoyed Sliders.

JourneyMan was really good too but I guess my wife and I were the only that so as it did not get renewed for a 2nd season.

It was, but I considered it laterally traversing time rather than linear (progressive or regressive).

Oh yeah, like when Kirk, McCoy and Spock had to jump through that circle of time thing to visit Elizabeth Taylor in the 1930's in "City on the Edge of Forever"

That was awesome. Totally Awesome.

I liked Sliders as well.

I was just actually looking up Seven Days. I couldn't remember the name.
