I remember EXACTLY where I was when this fantastic series debuted on Sept. 9, 1966–at my Father’s cousin’s house in Milwaukee, WI. I had just started kindergarten–and I distinctly remember, in one of my first memories, watching Time Tunnel’s first episode as people screamed inside the Titanic trying to get out as it went down.. Pretty frightening for a 5 year old.
Like all Irwin allen shows, thiis was very ambitious. But, the premise to this and other Allen shows is so limited it soon gets monotonous. Each week they just happen to appear at very historic events.
Loved this show! I was 8-9 yrs. old when it aired, and thought it lasted a lot longer than one season. In fact it was educational, as I first learned about the Titanic from watching Time Tunnel! And James Darren was gorgeous.
i was six when this kids show was out first, and i think that it was great, harmless, not like kids shows today, got to kill or smash something to bits!, yes i know grummpy old git! (no it’s a fact, thats apart of why we are now faced with so many dead head kids)
How I loved this show! I was like nine years old at the time. But just the idea of time travel (even if only science fiction) fascinated me. It was a great time to be a kid!
I saw this when I was a child in the 60′s. I can’t believe I had forgotten about it until now!.Thanks for uploading this gem from the past! It must be based on the Philadelphia Experiment of the 40′s and what the Montauck series of books is describing. Art imitates life….
This show was one of the best of its era and the best of all Irwin Allen shows, with barely a hint of the campiness of Lost in Space and some really great stories and effects along the way. Why can’t they make anything this good now? Even the effects looked better, despite not having CGI. Amazing!
Brings back memories of my childhood….I was 10 at the time,
@raymoles and they always had gravity. The same gravity, everywhere…
@raymoles Yeah, check out the movie ” Contact ” It has a little more logic as far as that goes.
nice job
Time Ticking.
What always amazed me about this show and Star Trek is no matter how far they went back in time or into deep space, everybody talked english.
‘Wherever Doug and Tony are now – at least they’re together Just a pity that Tony’s stuck with that dreadful green jumper”
I played myself a lot with Dr. Ann McGregor….what a hootie!
That Robert Colbert had a really manly sexiness as opposed to James Darren’s boyish beauty.

@QuikVidGuy Try again. Quantum Leap was Time Tunnel only with body switching and tied into Sam Beckett’s lifetime.

So… It’s Quantum Leap, but with less body-switching.

CHRYSLER IMPERIAL!
私が小学生のころ、45年前によく見ていました。毎回過去から未来、色んな時代や場所に紛れ込み、事件に巻き込まれていく、何ともスケールの大きな番組でした。ハラハラ、ドキドキの連続。半世紀も前にこんな番組を作成するとは、やはりアメリカは偉大な国です。
Can’t believe I watched this boring show.
