The Time Tunnel (1966)
Never a day that nothing happened......
The show was Okay as it showed time travel, a subject I love to chat about. Now some people or experts say it is impossible to time travel and if anything, you CAN go into the future, not the past. I disagree. Anything is possible, just not probable. So maybe there are some specific elements that we are not aware of that would allow time travel into the past as well as the future. I personally have always loved Time Travel TV episodes or even some odd movies that have been done. But the part that got me was they never went back to a date in time in which "nothing happened". You would think that this Time Tunnel, if it is randomly throwing the two all over the place in time era's, it would once.... just drop them into the middle of Kansas in 1926 on August 3rd, when not a thing happened that day. I'm sure there are plenty of days the Alamo was not being attacked, no president was in the process of being assassinated, two airplanes collided in mid-air killing 300, etc., etc. Days happen where nothing major occurred. I would have loved to write an episode in which they land on a "nothing" day yet this episode would be just as good. Oh well........
Seven Days (1998)
Seven Days TV Series 1998 (3 years)
The TV series was about the government's secret device, supposedly part of the 1940's New Mexico flying saucer crash at Area 51. This UFO had been captured and it was found to have some special qualities. One of which was a unit or device in the flying saucer that, with proper control, could send a person back in time, but only 7 days. As the government worked on this project, the President and Vice President and many others were slain in an attack on Washington several days previous. Oddly enough, an actual attack occurred 3 years later after the program had ended and we know it as September 11th. To offset this TV series attack, one man was found who could operate said control mechanism. He was assigned to operate the vehicle and go back in time 7 days before the attack and stop it from happening. Since no one 7 days earlier would know who this man is: He was given a code name to say upon contacting his superiors. "Conundrum" They then knew something bad had happened and told him to report to their office and brief them on what went down so they could find a way to change history. I loved this program!!
