Fall TV: Rev Up for New Shows9 of 10
2. "Timeless" (NBC)
If you love classic science fiction tropes and time-traveling escapades, "Timeless" just may be the fix you need this fall. The series, which is the union of Shawn Ryan ("The Shield") and Eric Kripke ("Supernatural"), centers around Garcia Flynn (Goran Visnjic), a supervillain who steals a time machine in order to destroy present-day America by changing the course of its past. And the trio burdened with the responsibility of trying to thwart Flynn is a history professor (Abigail Spencer), a soldier (Matt Lanter), and a scientist (Malcolm Barrett). According to one network executive, the series is "Back to the Future meets 'Mission: Impossible.'" And NBC is so confident in the series that it's given it the coveted Monday night slot after "The Voice."
