Am I the only one?

I just saw it for tyhe first time myself on FMC. I was always a big Irwin Allen fan, so it's good to see this.

The obvious stock footage was hilarious, and the acting kind of wooden, but that's to be expected. I love time travel movies and this one was good enough to watch. I couldn't see the same two characters in an ongoing series though. They were both kind of clueless, especially the "narcoleptic" one. :)

Yes,this was a TV-Pilot for Irwin Allen that wasn't picked up.City Beneath the Sea was also a TV-Movie that served as a pilot for Allen too.I felt that this pilot(The Time Travelers)was superior in its scripting & better than The Time Tunnel.I guess because TTT's set was so darn massive & impressive that they decided to scale down things for this TV-movie.Less costly too.That's the only aspect I didn't care for,time travel tech should be awe inspiring to behold.

I remember when it first came on tv back in 1976

The great Chicago fire was in 1871 ...... what made you think there would be film footage of the fire?

As part of his stage act, the late comedian Andy Kaufman used to show a clip from D.W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation depicting the assassination of President Lincoln. He would tell the audience that this was ACTUAL, recently discovered film footage of Lincoln being shot -- and they took his word for it! Never mind that Lincoln was assassinated in 1865 and motion pictures didn't exist until the 1890s.

No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.
