SERIES PREMIERE: There’s a baffling surfeit of time-travel shows this season, from NBC’s Timeless and the CW’s DC’s Legends of Tomorrow to ABC’s brand new Time After Time spinoff, which begins tonight. But this new Fox series is a comedy, not a drama, and that may make all the difference. Adam Pally plays Dan, a science nerd who has invented a time-travel device (okay, it’s a large duffel bag), and uses it to travel back in time so he can appropriate, and pre-introduce, the music, punch lines and other ideas of those who came before him. He does this to meet and impress women – most notably, Paul Revere’s daughter, played by Leighton Meester from Gossip Girl. For reviews, see Ed Bark's Uncle Barky's Bytes and David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower. And for a perspective on time travel programming, see Alex Strachan's TV That Matters.
