THE TIME TUNNEL- Vol. 1 (TV Series 1966-1967)

This one season only, star studded, great series, created by the late Irwin Allen, starring James Darrin, Lee Meriwether, Robert Colbert, Michael Rennie, supporting actors David Opatoshu, Carrol O'Connor, Ellen Burstyn, Gary Merrill, etc.etc. will satisfy all Sci-Fi fans. Based on a scientific project nicknamed "Tic-Toc" time travelers Darrin and Colbert, enter the "Time Tunnel" and get catapulted to different eras when important events such as the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, The Titanic, The Spanish Conquista of Mexico, etc. take place.
The travelers are lost in time as their co-workers back in their Arizona headquarters are trying to retrieve them back.
This great TV series should've lasted more than one season, but in my opinion, television had other shows that dwarfed this short lived series. "The Time Tunnel will live forever in the hearts and minds of those of us who saw it and remember it for what it was, a great adventure series.

Time Tunnel-The one and only season off to a good start!

The Time Tunnel which originally ran during the TV show season of 1966/67,was unfortunately just a one season wonder.However it is a series which still managed to captured the fancy of many a viewer back then and it still holds quite an appeal today.
The show involves the adventures of Project Tic-Toc run by General Kirk(Whit Bissell).Two scientists Tony Newman(James Darren) and Doug Phillips(Robert Colbert) are the time travellers who from week to week are injected by the tunnel from one random time period to another.Many of the story lines were quite interesting while others could be run of the mill,but the speical effects for that time are still pretty good and still hold up.Irwin Allen,the producer,also made liberal use of the 20th Century sound archives for background music and effects and the video archives for filler scenes.
Volume one has some fine eps in it and the acting,whether by the stars themselves or the supporting casts, are all top notch and believable.This four disc two-sided set,like Vol.2,is NOT remastered.However the master tapes used are of such high quality that I can see why they didn't got through the process.I didn't see any objectionable thing in this set worthy of repeating here,and that's saying something.
The extra features involve some interesting Irwin Allen home movies,a photo gallery,a visual effects camera test and a rare unaired version of the extended version of the pilot ep.
This entire season has been split into two different sets which I take umbrage to.I notice all of Irwin Allens shows on DVD are very expensive also and I think it is really "taking" the public,when they could have easily put this season into just one set.Also the DVDs are all two sided which are SO prone to scratching.They produce cheap but ask PLENTY!
In conclusion this wonderful show from the 1966/67 TV season has arrived on DVD and it looks great.The shows are generally quite interesting and the possiblities for it were endless,it is just a shame it didn't continue beyond one season.Do be warned of the two sided discs and the careful handling they require.However it's a show the ENTIRE FAMILY can watch and considering the surprising historical accuracy with which each show was handled,it is not a stretch to call it educational for the younger set.
Stir their imaginations and yours and get this series today!

Time Tunnel #1

What a time to be young with a developing imagination ! My thanks to
Irwin Allen

Irwin Allen was a master

The time Tunnel was Irwin Allen's most abstact and interesting series.First it features the theoretical physics notion of backward time travel.As always in Irwin's productions,special effects are state of the art and comparev with comtemporary programming.Casting is great.In all an engaging example of first class series production.

Located beneath the Arizona desert, the ten-year project?s focus is the feasibility of time travel. But when the government reconsiders the project, the scientists have only 24 hours to prove their untested ?Time Tunnel? will actually work. Determined to save the project, Dr. Tony Newman and Dr. Doug Phillips go through the tunnel?and quickly find themselves catapulted from one historical event to another, barely escaping with their lives as their colleagues back in Arizona race to figure out a way to bring them back home.
