One of the new series I looked forward to the most this fall is TIMELESS.
All summer, I watched the trailers featuring scenes of the Hindenburg disaster. The Hindenburg was a giant dirigible airship that exploded above Lakehurst, New jersey in 1937. I am an avid history buff, and the prospect of a show in which the main characters travel through time to battle a master criminal out to alter human history seemed to me to be “appointment television.”
Several TV shows have, of course, utilized the idea of time travel as a basis for their premise. A similar show currently running is LEGENDS OF TOMORROW. It also shares a similar concept of heroes preventing a villain from destroying the world.
