The new drama gets a few more episodes.
November 1, 2016
NBC announced today that three more episodes have been ordered for the first season of Timeless. While the small pickup is good news for the freshman time travel drama, the added trio of episodes brings its total to just 16, which is less than what would typically amount to a full season.
While the first season of Timeless will be on the shorter side, it does reflect the recent trend of networks tailoring the length of a season to what best suits each show and how it is performing, rather than keep every show at the traditional 22 episodes. Breakout hit This Is Us, for example, will air 18 episodes in Season 1.
Timeless comes from creators Eric Kripke and Shawn Ryan, and follows team of time travelers chasing down a mysterious criminal intent on changing the past in order to destroy America. The series has been a decent performer through its first five episodes following The Voice on Monday nights, though it hasn't been the breakout hit that others have been in the same time slot. Still, its viewership numbers rank it among the top new series on broadcast TV this fall.

I have been recording this series from the beginning but haven't watched a single episode. I don't want to get invested, only to have it cancelled as the ratings don't look too great. I've lost so many great shows.....don't think I can take another one. Lol

Damn Tom and Matt, Why'd you have to go and get all logical on us? Now you've awakened MY logical mind when I usually try to suspend IT along with my DISBELIEF when it comes to these kinds of shows, lol. Now I dont think I can watch the same way.

Good news! I really like thios show & it keeps me interested. I have to use my mind while watching, which is more than I can say about a lot of other crap that's on these days.

I love this show. It kind of reminds me how Doctor Who started out, as a show to teach history. It would be great if they can travel to the time of Butch Cassidy or maybe the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It would really be cool if they could get scott bakula to be sam beckett in an episode (quantum leap). JK
