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?
Robert Colbert is 93, I met him in Pacific Palisades and I found out he is really good friends with Lee Meriwether and very sadly. That's when I found out about her illness. We are losing our heroes. Thanks for the memories.
There used to be a whole website dedicated to him. Great character actor but boy, in that TT episode where he played the French general was that embarrassing!
I absolutely loved The Time Tunnel as a kid, even though I knew that most of the historical figures they visited didn't speak modern English. But it was still fun!
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.
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.
It also changed their clothes just before the end of some of the episodes! My favorite trope was how the two of them were slammed hard to the ground at the start of every adventure. That Time Tunnel had a lot of 'bugs' in it to be so expensive!
The Time Tunnel had the nice bonus of being at least somewhat educational. History teachers liked it, not because it necessarily taught history authoritatively, but it could spark students' interest in a certain historical event.
When I was in the reserves, we had a uniform ribbon that had that hourglass logo on it. When people asked what I had gotten the ribbon for, I used to tell them it was for when I worked on 'Project Tic-Toc". Some people got the joke and asked how Doug and Tony were doing.😅
The problem with Time Tunnel toward the end was it started to frequently feature those Irwin Allen signature cheesy aliens too many times instead of characters involved with historical events.
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!
Here where I live, we have a network called METV, that plays every Saturday the original Lost in Space, Land of the Giants, The Time Tunnel, The Invaders, The Thunderbirds, the original Star Trek, Voyage to the bottom of the sea, Kolchak, and I'm sure I missed a few, but they're played back to back every Saturday night...sadly it's mostly after midnight until 7am.
James Darren Dies. His age was 88. Jame Darren is a experiencing a beautiful journey through the Universe and beyond. Godspeed, Tony Newman, time travel adventurer.
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.
Time Tunnel reruns are still on a channel called MeTV. If you want to stay up to 3 am to watch it. 😂. In fact, all the classical shows of the 60’s that Dan mentioned are on MeTV Saturday Night. Starting with Batman, StarTrek TOS, NightStalker, Lost In Space, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Land of the Giants and Time Tunnel.
The reason the show only lasted one season was, at the end of the 1st series Dr Newman, jumped forward in time to 24th century changed his name to Vic Fontane and started a club on Deep Space Nine
I LOVED The Time Tunnel! I was only in the 5th grade, but I used to make my own models of the tunnel. I’ll be mocked for saying this, but I enjoyed it far more than Star Trek.
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 used to with someone who belonged to the Titanic Historical Society. I let him watch my tape of the pilot and he did not like it because it was not accurate as far names and ship information was concerned. Plus scene where the ship was sinking and people were breaking out the with champagne bottles. He said porthole windows on a ship and very thick and that was not possible.
The Time Tunnel was responsible for my career in teaching as back in 1966 I learned for the first time about the Titanic, Custard's Last Stand, and other historical events. If not for that show--who knows--I might have gone into a lucrative career in finance of the law, but I sure as heck would not have enjoyed it as much as I did teaching history!
TT was one of my all-time favorite shows. I was devastated when I learned that it was canceled. I refused to watch that Custer show and thought whoever came up with the idea for Custer to replace the Time Tunnel should have been fired and sent to Siberia for 20 years. 😡😡
Here in Brazil, "The Time Tunnel," or in Portuguese "O Túnel do Tempo," was very successful in the 1970s and in its constant reruns in the following years. It still has a huge legion of fans to this day.
I'm 57 years old and was a HUGE fan of just about everything Irwin Allen ever did as a kid, but this one flew under my radar for some reason. Maybe it was not syndicated in my area? 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!
I was 10 years old when Time Tunnel was broadcast. The show was one of the reasons that I did so well in history class during my high school years 😅. I am so glad that Me-TV runs all the episodes of Irwin Allen TV shows.
@@ivannadler1789 how do you DVR from an app? Don’t you need to have the app playing the episode at the scheduled time? And DVR from an online stream? Was easy when i had cable.
Re-watching Time Tunnel now, Ann makes me crack up. One moment optimistic with full confidence, next minute pessimist with zero confidence. One minute grateful, next minute resentful. One minute brave, next minute cowardly .. ..
When I finally saw it in reruns I thought it was a better show than I remembered. The use of stock footage, preexisting sets and costumes made it look expensive.
I would like to know more about Battlestar Galactica 1977, particularly the cylon costumes as what happened to them as well as know more about Land Of The Giants
I enjoyed watching "The Time Tunnel." I had the James Darren recording "Goodbye Cruel World." I enjoyed it when he showed up on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" as a singer.😊
The cast was outstanding and Ms. Merriwether gave the show a lot of gravitas. She had a wide range of roles but this is, in my opinion, is one her best. The musical score ranks at the top of any TV Network Era list along with Mission Impossible (Lalo Schafrin) and a few others.
I have mine somewhere. Did you know that the last frame on the TT disc was from the unaired episode. It shows Tony and Doug standing among foliage with a Time Tunnel in the background.
Whit Bissell’s agent pitching Time Tunnel: Whit, you play a distinguished senior officer, and you stand next to a console and suggest using more power no matter what happens. You say it in a million tones of voice, sometimes with a furrowed brow, always with sincerity, again and again and again. Whit, this role was MADE for you! Sign! You can thank me later.
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.
Have you ever seen the movie Time after Time with Malcolm McDowell, David Warner and Mary Steenburgen? One of my favorites and I don't think it ever gets enough attention love to hear your review of the movie !
When i was 15 years old i stayed home and watched this on friday nights instead of hangin out with my friends thats how much i loved this series and the other Irwin Allen series.
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.
I loved this show when I was a kid. Even now, whenever I see Whit Bissell in a show/movie I say, "I know him! He was in The Time Tunnel!" LOL Great UA-cam channel - I feel like it was made especially for me! 🙂
Also, remember Whit in the original film version of "The Time Machine"? (A few years before "The Time Tunnel"!) By the way... I love your surname, Dennis!
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.
The reason it was cancelled despite high ratings is that network executives have never understood or even liked Sci Fi.
*GROAN*....network executives
Leslie Moonves is an especially notorious example of this.
True

Time to take Time Tunnel back to Now.
Updated version would be a instant hit on Netflix.
R.I.P:James Darren
I loved The Time Tunnel as well.
Robert Colbert is 93, I met him in Pacific Palisades and I found out he is really good friends with Lee Meriwether and very sadly. That's when I found out about her illness. We are losing our heroes. Thanks for the memories.
I always enjoyed her acting work on Barnaby Jones. 🔍
Whit Bissell deserves his own wing in the sci-fi hall of fame. He shows up almost everywhere
There used to be a whole website dedicated to him. Great character actor but boy, in that TT episode where he played the French general was that embarrassing!
Yep, Whit Bissell excellent actor, he played a villain in the sci-fi classic Soylent Green
I remember he was also in Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Creature From The Black Lagoon.
Whit Bissell was the OG Admiral Kirk!🖖🤣
Witt was on Land of The Giants, Star Trek (The trouble with tribbles) City beneath the sea, VTTBOTS
As a child of the 60s, I love this channel. I appreciate all the work you do to produce such quality content on my favorite movies and TV shows!
I still have my GAF ViewMaster reels of Time Tunnel. I’m 66 years old.
Mine are all sadly gone...
I still have my Adam West Batman 1966 view master reel!
one of the 3D slides shows the boom mic.
In the 1960's there was a joke about ABC: "You want to know how to end the Viet Nam War? Put it on ABC and it will be canceled in 13 weeks."
I absolutely loved The Time Tunnel as a kid, even though I knew that most of the historical figures they visited didn't speak modern English. But it was still fun!
The Time Tunnel was a show that was ahead of it's time.
I loved *The Time Tunnel* when I watched it when I was six!. Also *Land of the Giants* and *Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.*
This channel IS our very own Time Tunnel!
My friends and I LOVED The Time Tunnel. It was our salve after Lost in Space was cancelled.
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.

It was a dual time tunnel-dry cleaning machine. I think Samsung makes them now 😉
It also changed their clothes just before the end of some of the episodes! My favorite trope was how the two of them were slammed hard to the ground at the start of every adventure. That Time Tunnel had a lot of 'bugs' in it to be so expensive!

Great one@ Thank you.
Nobody would get the joke now.
I was watching this show in 1967 when a tornado hit our house.
Now THAT was a Time Tunnel!
I am a bit shocked that in our age of reboots, remakes and rubbish, more of Mr. Allen's shows have not been subject to the big budget blunders.
The problem with Time Tunnel toward the end was it started to frequently feature those Irwin Allen signature cheesy aliens too many times instead of characters involved with historical events.
Thanks Dan
This was one of my favorite TV shows ad a kid
My pleasure peter, thanks for watching :-)
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.

My two favorites were Time Tunnel and Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea.
The time tunnel complex reminds me of the Krell city from Forbidden Planet.
It reminds me of the super cool underground complex in the movie "Fantastic Voyage."
I believe that it was repurposed Forbidden Planet footage.
Back when this show came out, I lived for Friday nights to watch it.
Me too.
Here where I live, we have a network called METV, that plays every Saturday the original Lost in Space, Land of the Giants, The Time Tunnel, The Invaders, The Thunderbirds, the original Star Trek, Voyage to the bottom of the sea, Kolchak, and I'm sure I missed a few, but they're played back to back every Saturday night...sadly it's mostly after midnight until 7am.
Don't forget Svengoolie, the classic horror movie host!
I don't think its a coincidence that the Time Tunnel set looked a lot like the underground layer of the Krell in Forbidden Planet.
I've thought the same thing.
James Darren Dies. His age was 88. Jame Darren is a experiencing a beautiful journey through the Universe and beyond. Godspeed, Tony Newman, time travel adventurer.

"Who the heck is home on a Friday night?" - Me, as a kid, watching the "Invaders" :)

You forgot 'the Invaders'!!
I am looking forward to the Voyage to the Bottom of the sea video. That was one of my favorites as a kid.
It's on its way I promise :-) I work as a one-man show, so it takes forever to get these videos done :-) stay tuned
The reason the show only lasted one season was, at the end of the 1st series Dr Newman, jumped forward in time to 24th century changed his name to Vic Fontane and started a club on Deep Space Nine

Time Tunnel is what got me interested in the Titanic.
"They just couldn't get a FIX on them!"
They could get a fix on them but due to a lack of power they could not keep it for long.
The program was very educational. As a third Grader , that’s when I learned about important historical events , Such as the Titanic.
I used to with someone who belonged to the Titanic Historical Society. I let him watch my tape of the pilot and he did not like it because it was not accurate as far names and ship information was concerned. Plus scene where the ship was sinking and people were breaking out the with champagne bottles. He said porthole windows on a ship and very thick and that was not possible.
Always liked voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. I was hooked on it as well as the Wild Wild West
Loved this when I was a kid.
Seeing the Time Tunnel artist conception reminds me of the underground abandoned city on Forbidden Planet.
The Time Tunnel was responsible for my career in teaching as back in 1966 I learned for the first time about the Titanic, Custard's Last Stand, and other historical events. If not for that show--who knows--I might have gone into a lucrative career in finance of the law, but I sure as heck would not have enjoyed it as much as I did teaching history!
Ways the show could have been revived with guaranteed success:
CSI: Time Tunnel
NCIS: Time Tunnel
Law and Order: Time Tunnel Unit
One season of 30 episodes in 1967 is like 6 seasons of a series now in 2024.
"Custer" was a piece of crap. I remember my Dad asking "They cancelled Time Tunnel for this"? And he LOVED westerns!
Remarkable! Thank you.
What scares me as I'm old enough to remember watching that show
Loved the Time Tunnel when I was a kid on TV
TT was one of my all-time favorite shows. I was devastated when I learned that it was canceled. I refused to watch that Custer show and thought whoever came up with the idea for Custer to replace the Time Tunnel should have been fired and sent to Siberia for 20 years. 😡😡
Never missed an episode. As an 11 year old friday nights were spent at home - not going on dates. 😀

30 episodes that's 3 seasons now. Must have been a hit.
The Time Tunnel was sort of a proto Quantum-Leap.
In todays TV production, 30 episodes would be 3 years!
Irwin Allen seemed to always cast a tall handsome man and an equally handsome but slightly shorter co-star.
I love the fact that one wore a turtleneck and the other wore a suit in every episode and no one questioned why they were dressed that way
Indeed, and they always managed to get them dry-cleaned I think #thetimetunnel
Hands-on guy and theoretical guy.
@@christopherdunne4048 Great analysis
"A rock is a rock, a tree is a tree, go shoot it in Griffith Park."
The Time Tunnel's lead-in, The Green Hornet, was also cancelled. So, there's that.
Irwin Allen was right up there with Gerry Anderson and Rod Serling. GREAT entertainment!
Re-watching Time Tunnel now, Ann makes me crack up. One moment optimistic with full confidence, next minute pessimist with zero confidence. One minute grateful, next minute resentful. One minute brave, next minute cowardly .. ..
When I finally saw it in reruns I thought it was a better show than I remembered. The use of stock footage, preexisting sets and costumes made it look expensive.
I am sure you have not seen it all, the last episode had Doug and Tony return, well it did in the UK.
That's amazing! Would you mind giving a brief overview of the episode? Huge fan of the show here.
I would like to know more about Battlestar Galactica 1977, particularly the cylon costumes as what happened to them
as well as know more about Land Of The Giants
I enjoyed watching "The Time Tunnel." I had the James Darren recording "Goodbye Cruel World." I enjoyed it when he showed up on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" as a singer.😊
James Darren and Robert Colbert are still alive at 87 and 92.
Considering all the dead actors in shows of that time period, that is amazing. I guess the travel back in time slowed their aging.
Wow.
The cast was outstanding and Ms. Merriwether gave the show a lot of gravitas. She had a wide range of roles but this is, in my opinion, is one her best. The musical score ranks at the top of any TV Network Era list along with Mission Impossible (Lalo Schafrin) and a few others.
She made a cool Catwoman in the 1966 Adam West Batman big-screen movie, too.
30 episodes? That's 3 seasons today. LOL.
Five seasons, for some series. 🙄
The Time Machine _ HGWells ... science fiction looks at the present & "what if" ... you'll be able to explore

😂😂😂😂 Whit …. Your The Man !!!
But you get paid to stand next to Lee Merriweather
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.

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 was great about this show was it was so different each episode. WW2, Westerns, Colonial times, etc. Now that's Sci-Fi
I was 10 years old in 67 great show. And now I'm 67 years old. Woohoo
Me too
Have you ever seen the movie Time after Time with Malcolm McDowell, David Warner and Mary Steenburgen? One of my favorites and I don't think it ever gets enough attention love to hear your review of the movie !
Time after Time was a very imaginative movie & didn't get enough acclaim! Love movies about time travel!

AND we are running headlong into such a nightmare when AI will run everything!
Everything made in this century is crap
Oh I have to add my complaint about its cancelation. As a kid, I loved this show.
Only 30 episodes 😳 seemed a lot more, but still a happy part of my youth.
10:08 - Friday Night was where Star Trek was sent to die...
Thirty episodes back then is like three seasons today! Crazy!
When i was 15 years old i stayed home and watched this on friday nights instead of hangin out with my friends thats how much i loved this series and the other Irwin Allen series.
30 episodes is 3-5 series now in modern times.
Gosh I loved that show. Land of the Giants, The Invaders, Voyage to the bottom of the Sea as well. Good times!
Wow, you’re nearing 100K subs, congratulations!!!! 👏👏👏👏
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.
One of the first TV shows I regularly watched as a kid! 8 years old.
That set for the Time Tunnel kept me watching week after week. that set was amazing!
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.
Wasn't Quantum Leap just a re-imagining of the Time Tunnel theme?
Or Stargate?
caught that show on MeTV.. it’s like an old time tv version of Stargate - pretty cool
We had Irwin Alen shows during The Beatle years.My childhood years.
I loved this show when I was a kid. Even now, whenever I see Whit Bissell in a show/movie I say, "I know him! He was in The Time Tunnel!" LOL Great UA-cam channel - I feel like it was made especially for me! 🙂
Also, remember Whit in the original film version of "The Time Machine"? (A few years before "The Time Tunnel"!)
By the way... I love your surname, Dennis!
Whit Bissell was in the original 1960 movie "The Time Machine" with Rod Taylor in the lead role.

Philadelphian James Darren also had a singing career--and his hit "All," is one of my "all" time favorites.
He also played Moondoggie in a couple of the Giget movies
Nine-year old me loved this! Actually may have kicked off a lifelong interest in history.
No one has ever done a remake of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
There was actually a model kit from Japan of the Time Tunnel set. Extremely rare now!
Your Show is Fantastic. Love all that you do. Brings back so so many memories. Thank You.
