  The Time Tunnel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Time Tunnel was a 1966-1967 U.S. color science fiction TV series produced by Irwin Allen that lasted for one season and 30 episodes.
As the series progresses, the two time travellers are swung from one period in history to another, allowing episodes to be set in the past and future -- but always ending in a cliffhanger as a preview of the next episode.
A pilot episode, in which a government team goes back in time through a time tunnel (represented by a series of huge metallic rings) to World War II in order to retrieve a medieval monk misplaced by a time storm, was filmed but later turned down due to similarities to Stargate SG-1.

Although the Time Tunnel was cursed with Irwin Allen's propensity for using cheap effects, the early episodes were interesting and plausible enough to overlook the cheesy sets.
The Time Tunnel was a great concept that only lasted one season because it couldn't survive jumping the shark.

 Time Tunnel
When people respond to the present as if they were in the past, I refer to them as being in the “time tunnel.” Time tunneling is a type of conditioned response that helps explain why people who were raised in troubled homes often find themselves trapped in dysfunctional patterns.
Learning the principles for escaping from the time tunnel is simple, although much time and effort usually are required before old patterns fade and are replaced with new ones.
The first step in escaping the time tunnel is to identify specific feelings, thoughts, or behaviors that indicate you are experiencing the present as if it were the past and repeating old patterns.

 DVD Times - The Time Tunnel: Volume One
The two time travellers Doug and Tony are cut from the same all-American-hero mould as Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’s Admiral Nelson and Lost in Space’s John Robinson and Don Smith, all square chin, deep voice and wholesome image; they want nothing more than to do the right thing and serve their country.
As well as this, the main standing set of the tunnel itself is very impressive, arguably the most visually striking of Allen’s shows, with the Tunnel itself a minor icon in the genre: shame the actual effect of travelling through it is nothing more exciting than a few weak explosions and a bit of smoke.
They then spend the majority of the time fruitlessly trying to dissuade whoever is involved to back off from their disastrous plan-of-action, only to be totally ignored, forcing them to sit back and watch destiny take its course, before they’re scooped up and dropped in another time zone.

 DVD Talk > Reviews > The Time Tunnel: Volume One
Part of the reason The Time Tunnel worked so well from the start was the show's simple yet effective formula, which centers around doctors Tony Newman (James Darren) and Doug Phillips (Robert Colbert) and their continuing adventures through some of history's most important events.
Unfortunately, the Time Tunnel---a cave-like machine that doubles as a portal and viewing screen---isn't prepared to handle both travelers at once, so our heroes are doomed to drift through the highs and lows of history until they figure out a way back.
The Time Tunnel's run of 30 episodes introduce us to plenty of faces and places---from Pearl Harbor to Napoleon---but one thing remains clear in every time period: history can't be changed, though our heroes try anyway.

 The Time Tunnel by Murray Leinster
In a direct comparison to the series, which relied more on the Tunnel to watch events, this is more a demonstration of Leinster considering how things would probably be done than under a TV budget.
With his status as a well-known SF writer at the time - not to mention writing a book two years previous also called ‘Time Tunnel’ - Leinster probably had enough leverage to write it the way he saw fit.
Time travel is still very much ‘out there’ as concepts go and it's only the technology names that look quaint.

THE TIME TUNNEL (ABC 1966-67) is certainly one of the late Irwin Allen's better SF tv series produced in the 1960s and this long anticipated two volume DVD collection promises to be something truly outstanding for the show's devout fan following.
With the exception of its appearance on a digital cable television channel, the only other time I saw a rebroadcast episode of the TIME TUNNEL was in the early 1980s when TBS had two episodes edited together as a movie.

 Amazon.com: The Time Tunnel (Soundtrack): Music: George Duning,John Williams   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
At that time, he had composed about a dozen scores for some rather obscure titles (such "notable" cinematic endeavors as "Stark Fear" and "Gidget Goes to Rome," for example).
One highlight is "The Titanic Trot", a period piece that allows the listener to envision the ship's passengers enjoy a ballroom twirl as the ship heads for a "rendezvous" with a rather large ice cube.
While not as dynamic or memorable as his future work, "The Time Tunnel" does offer a glimpse of what Williams was to become: an Academy Award winner and musical icon in the film industry.

When he took his stand, he was in the minority; but as time and the war drug on, more and more found themselves in Ali’s corner as was evidenced during his first fight with Joe Frazier in Madison Square Garden in 1971.

 Science Fiction Movie and TV Reviews
he Time Tunnel is the most highly guarded secret of a hidden U.S. government installation, buried in the desert of the American Southwest.
To prove the Time Tunnel works, Dr. Tony Newman waits until everybody else has left the room, and sends himself back to a random destination, which naturally turns out to be the deck of the Titanic on the day before its fateful collision with an iceberg.
No, what makes these old shows so hard to take, nowadays, is the episodic-TV aesthetic of the time, which all too often didn't see any reason to give action protagonists like Newman and Phillips any inner lives, or personalities beyond the stolid determination they needed to proceed from one situation to the next.
