    The reason it was cancelled despite high ratings is that network executives have never understood or even liked Sci Fi.

      No real imagination & logic How about a small mini series showing the end of the journey returning to the beginning. (Loop) and deciding whether to continue or not with messing with time.

      Same thing that happened with Star Trek, although it lasted 3 seasons. Network executives simply don't understand science fiction. And if they don't understand it, despite a huge letter campaign (which probably overwhelmed the local post office) to keep Star Trek going for a 4th season, the XO's stood their ground, and Star Trek was phasered out of existence (they thought). The animated series ('72 or '73?) lasted 22 ½-hour episodes. Some trekkies consider it the "unofficial 4th season," or year four of the 5-year mission.
      But I got into the wrong time track. I can imagine the same or similar thing happened. Despite all of the mail and telephone messages, the network XO's canceled Time Tunnel anyway.
      Network executives are always very slow learners. It seems they still haven't learned the obvious axiom, namely that network XO's don't go against fans. But no, the only things they see are $ and ¢. Will they never learn?

    I loved the show as a kid. I have the box set. The one thing that made me laugh and still does, the time tunnel also acted as a dry cleaner. No matter how many times James and Robert had their clothes ripped, dirtied, and what not, after they traveled to the next place, the clothes were perfectly clean.

    • @kainnosgoth7336

      That's most likely because they were removed from one time and sent to another, so whatever happened to them in the previous time didn't exist, like they were never there, so it's like they started out on a clean slate.

    I was in grade 3 or 4 at the time. The teacher had started to talk about the volcanic eruption that took place in Krakatoa. This happened on a Monday. Well the teacher was somewhat miffed by the fact that most of us already new about Krakatoa! We told her the answer was simple. Krakatoa was on Time Tunnel the Friday before! Time Tunnel was such a great show, especially if you like history! Very informative! Some of the leaders of different countries today could use to brush up on history!

    The whole family loved this show when I was a kid. We sat down in front of the Black & White Pye TV with viewing time and snacks carefully planned out by my mum.
    Mum rolled out the snacks and drinks just at the right times as not to miss any of the show. My dad and his TV mates spent many weeks of planning and they finally installed a gigantic 10 Bar 20 foot high arial that tied down like a circus tent on the roof of our home. We lived in the country and had the best TV signal in the district. We could watch any TV show coming from repeaters all around the country. It was not just a tv show but an institution when the family, friends and neighbours got together to watch our favourite TV shows.

      Same here. I was disappointed that they canceled after 30 episodes. I read it was canceled for the same reason Lost In Space was. Both networks, CBS and ABC told Irwin Allen to cut back on expenses and he said he cannot cut back any more than what he has. LIS was canceled after 3 seasons and TT after only one. Sad.

I first heard about it just a few years ago and watched a few episodes. I remember watching James Darren and thinking to myself, "Where have I seen this guy before?" Being a big Star Trek fan, and especially Deep Space Nine, it dawned on me that he played Vince Fontaine in the holosuite nightclub that Nog had created!

      Whit was already a seasoned pro on the nature of time travel by 1966-he was in the original George Pal production of “The Time Machine” (1960).

    I was a kid when this came out and I loved this show so much it sparked my interest in time travel right up to this day. When he mentioned that there wasn't much in the way of merchandise, I still have one of the patches that are sewn on all the lab coats for all the workers at the Time Tunnel. I never sewed it on anything and still have it and keep thinking every once in a while to actually sew it on a white jacket.

    You should do a video spotlight about the classic daytime gothic suspense romance drama, Dark Shadows, of which i was a fan of as well as The Time Tunnel, now that would be a story in itself, Because Dark Shadows lasted from 1966 until 1971. It was made popular by the first appearance of 175-year-old vampire Barnabas Collins, when he was released from his chained coffin after 200 years, by Willie Loomis, in early 1967.

      Dark Shadows started out as a regular , run of the mill soap opera that was in danger of being canceled until the introduction of Barnabas

    What Happened to the TIME TUNNEL? Over time TV shows lose ratings, actors want to move on, or they get too old for their part.

    Time Tunnel my favourite series. Dan if you ever cover The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) let me know as I have several of the original screen used helmets used in the Errol Flynn movie. The helmets were also used in Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe (1940), which was an inspiration on George Lucas to create Star Wars.

      Whit Bissell was in the original 1960 movie "The Time Machine" with Rod Taylor in the lead role. In 1978, Whit Bissell (and John Zaremba) were in a TV-movie version of "The Time Machine" (the time traveller Neil Perry visits the Puritan colony in Massachusetts, the California gold rush, then the future with the Eloi and Morlocks) - cheap on the time lapse special effects of buildings going up or being torn down.
