I was born in 1956. When I had my boyhood in the 1960's, The Time Tunnel was my favorite TV show and the beginning of my lifelong obsession and fascination with time travel!
@@GoGreen1977 It was devastating to me, oh my. I thought that because we were in Brazil, they didn't care to air the other seasons. I only learned it got just that first season with the internet!
I love this show ...remember it when it aired back in 1966 on ABC TV. I would love to time travel . Tony and Doug were so cool . Also enjoyed Land Of The Giants , Voyage TO The Bottom of the sea, Dark Shadows, Gunsmoke , Ironside, Lost In Space , Mission Impossible. Sure miss this era of my life. LEGENDARY !
I was completely swept off my feet with this show when I was a kid. Loved it so much. The concept of time travel I found utterly fascinating. Maybe the large hadron collider in Switzerland was built for this very purpose but they just couldn't quite nail it. Or maybe they have and they've kept it from us all..!!
This was shown on British TV in the 60s...a great series. I remember watching it with my older brother & we both used to laugh at the hectic, serious music & the man saying The Time Tunnel. Godspeed James Darren who died yesterday....he had a long & creative life. ❤
I remember watching this show on a black and white TV . If I had watched that opening sequence on a colour TV back then, it would have blown my seven year old mind.
I remember this tv show when I was a kid of 12-13 when it was on. Wonder if they ever did an episode of them going ahead to the year 2020? They would have taken one look at what the future was like and jumped right back into the time tunnel straight back to 1966. 😎
Or have a final episode where Tony and Doug end up at the siege of Syracuse in time to see the dragon get taken down by the Romans and Indy and Helena parachuting to safety. Later, they meet Archimedes....
Making sure to do homework so can relax and watch television shows. Then have to get to bed to go to school in the morning. Friday nights were always special and look forward all week.
I won a fm radio contest by correctly guessing this theme was from "The Time Tunnel" and not "Lost in Space" which had a comparable melody. Thank you very much, John Williams.
Been maybe 50 years since I heard that music. The series starred out on a high note, with the 2 guys getting sent inadvertently to the Titanic. But it gradually got a little...inane.
My fiancée got us tickets to see James Darren give a dinner concert on Friday, May 2, 2014. My sweetheart was no shrinking violet and she was able to get a semi-private audience with the man after the concert. Oh, yeah, she mentioned The Time Tunnel for the both of us and Moon Doggie, etc. What a blast. Mr. Darren was so patient. Bobby Rydell was there too and sang a couple of songs with James Darren. My sweetie made sure to bend Bobby Rydell's ear too. I got to shake his hand and thank him for everything. I also told him that watching Bye Bye Birdie (1963) would have a new and added dimension which made him laugh.
Absolutely. I'm only 35 and I love his Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea movie. Grew up with a lot of these classics when they showed them on the Sci-fi channel
Loved this. The fact that whenever they ended up, the could be seen in full colour with sound back at tunnel HQ ! I gave this paradox absolutely no thought when I was a kid !
Imagination & Compassion, the greatest attributes of American culture. The music wasn't bad either. Theme songs were awesome back then, like "Peter Gun", "Gilligan's Island "...etc...
Mi serie favorita cuando era un niño..me fascinaba xq la fantasia no tenia limites..inimaginable..ya no hay mas series asi. Lamentablemente todo es destruccion y muerte. Una pena.😦🇦🇷❤🍷⚘👋
Otro programa inmortal e impresionante para gente inteligente ,muy adelantado para su época, de los años 60. Una gran imaginación con muchas verdades ocultas a los que no entienden , que la verdad del verdadero conocimiento ciéntifico y técnologico no puede ser revelado para las masas comunes. Gracias sr. IRWIN ALLEN ,por darnos pistas de la realidad.
I was 11 when this first aired and it became my favorite show. I still remember the pilot, as it concerned the Titanic, having become fascinated with the ship and her story after viewing , A Night to Remember on local TV that summer.
I remember that first show too, set on the Titanic. Blown away by it and the imagination ran wild. If I recall, the second man was sent in to rescue the first, but then they both became trapped.
@@sargentstephens45 Exactly. I still remember their names: Tony and Doug. It was one of Irwin Allen’s early TV productions. He was also behind Lost In Space, and thr film, The Poseidon Adventure, among others. I’m full of useless trivia. lol
@@sargentstephens45 He did indeed produce Voyage, one of my fave boyhood shows. And really cool theme music. Not sure about Voyage, but the Lost In Space theme came from Johnny Williams (THE John Williams). Richard Basehart and David Hedison starred in Voyage, but Irwin Allen borrowed? the idea for the series from the film of the same name starring Walter Pigeon. David Hedison’s daughter is the partner of Jodi Foster. There you have more trivia just for you; stored in the nooks and crannies of my brain without the aid of google. 😉😁
@@sargentstephens45 Michael Rennie portrayed the captain of the Titanic in that episode. Some years before, he starred in the 1951 film “The Day The Earth Stood Still”, one of my favorite sci fi films and a classic of the genre directed by Robert Wise (The Sound of Music, et al) Klaatu Barada Nikto. 😉
Quite correct not only Dick Tufield did the voice of the robot in Lost in Space and narrated Time Tunnel he also did a one time narration on the movie Forbidden Planet 1956.📽🎬
Where's the rest of the intro? "Now, Doug Phillips and Tony Newman tumble helplessly, lost, somewhere in the infinite corridors of time!" I still quote that robot (from the film, where he did the voice as well) when I'm shredding documents: "DESTROY ROBINSONS! DESTROY JUPITER II!"
I loved The Time Tunnel in the 60's! Two of my nephews (who are very close to me in age, so we grew up more like brothers) loved it too. I used to kid them about the show because my oldest nephew is named Doug and his younger brother is named Tony, the names of the characters on the show! Lol! James Darren, who played Tony Newman, was a teenage "heartthrob" singer about as popular as Ricky Nelson several years before the show aired!
Paul Sawtell did the credit for the theme to an Irwin Allen TV series, "Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea", but it was Johnny Williams who did the credit for the themes to three other Irwin Allen TV series. Johnny did one theme for "The Time Tunnel", two themes for "Land Of The Giants", and the other two themes for the unforgettable "Lost In Space"!
I remember this show aired Friday nights on ABC at the same time and day CBS aired _The Wild Wild West_ and NBC aired _Tarzan._ How did we suvive in those days before video recorders!?
I wasn't even born when this was on, but I love this show, it was a shame it didn't go on longer my favourite episode has to be the one about Pearl Harbour, where Tony meets his younger self.
You can almost always tell an Irwin Allen special. Lots of sparks, the sound of an electrical arc, and a Johnny Williams theme. Lots of brass and drums. But, Winton Hoch? The Winton Hoch? The ' The Quiet Man ' Winton Hoch? Wow.
One of the leading stars of this show, James Darren released a number of hits during that wonderful era of 60s pop music. One of his 'Goodbye Cruel World' I remember listening to on our old valve wireless! What great times!!
We used to go visit our friends that I have known for 60 years They had 3 boys and I had no brothers or sisters. They had a couch in their living room and what we used to do it is turn the couch and pushed it away from the wall and we'd come tumbling from the wall over the couch like they did in Time tunnel. This was in the mid-60s early 70s. The most simplistic of times the best of times kids didn't need no game boys or electronic devices y'all created your own playtime from the creativity of your brain and mind. The house where my parents friends had lived is still there in the western part of Toronto and my friend's mother who was my mom's best friend who passed is going to be turning 97 I believe in January. would like to see them do a remake of this series in a made for TV or movie theater show.
Using Arizona as the secret base of operations, an early John Williams composing a cool TV score before his movie successes, and THE Irwin Allen of disaster-movie fame...I was disappointed that it ran only 1 season, but did get to see reruns when older...Great TV!
@@fancylong "He also did the theme for Gilligan's Island." No he didn't. The 'Gilligan's Island' theme was by Sherwood Schwartz and George Wyle. John Williams (known then as Johnny Williams) had nothing to do with the Gilligan's Island theme.
@@jknuttel I think that there were occasional suggestions that the "Universal Translator" on the Enterprise extended its field of operations to ground missions. Far from a perfect solution, but at least it acknowledged the problem, which "The Time Tunnel" never did. I suppose the genetic similarities between the various races on "Star Trek" were accounted for by the interplanetary seeding in the episode where the Terrans, Romulans and Klingons all traced their origins back to a common source.
First time I've heard that opening music since watching as a kid back in the day. Wow. And isn't that narrator at the beginning the same guy who voiced the robot on Lost in Space?
As I was passionate for this series every day I watched and played with my childhood friend Ninho de being Dog and Tony and we created different situations by staging.
Despite the constant threat of creating a time paradox, Doug & Tony certainly get into the most interesting situations throughout history (also, despite the fact that in another part of the world in a different time they spoke English).
This music already put us in a state of tension before the show even started !
Johnnie Williams wrote music
Yeah !!
Certainly did !
As a child, this programme totally connected with my love of history and adventure.
Great memories.
...first I heard of the volcanic explosion of Krakatoa...
I remember the excitement we had as kids looking forward to the new tv shows in September.
yes me too. Getting the Fall Preview TV Guide and going through it!
I was born in 1956. When I had my boyhood in the 1960's, The Time Tunnel was my favorite TV show and the beginning of my lifelong obsession and fascination with time travel!
I was so disappointed when Time Tunnel was canceled after one season. I couldn't understand it. But at least Star Trek was renewed!
i didn't put that together! No wonder we loved Star Trek in all its forms!
You wasn't the only one!.
Born in 1960 and it had the same meaning to me! Fortunately, now we have the real McCoy: Skinwalker ranch!
@@GoGreen1977 It was devastating to me, oh my. I thought that because we were in Brazil, they didn't care to air the other seasons. I only learned it got just that first season with the internet!
So nostalgic. John Williams' Irwin Allen music had such energy and boldness.
I love this show ...remember it when it aired back in 1966 on ABC TV. I would love to time travel . Tony and Doug were so cool . Also enjoyed Land Of The Giants , Voyage TO The Bottom of the sea, Dark Shadows, Gunsmoke , Ironside, Lost In Space , Mission Impossible. Sure miss this era of my life. LEGENDARY !
my favorite show as a kid !!! its such a damn shame it only lasted one season
And just for a change, John Williams makes this series beautifully musical. What a genius...

I used to watching this series in the end of 70'.
Ammmmmmazing!!!!!!
Rest In Peace Mr James Darren 🕊️😢
RIP James Darren (1936 - 2024)
I remember watching this in 1968 on BBC 1 around 6.pm week nights it was brilliant. 📽🎬
You can watch it on metv Saturday on 4am apart of super scifi Saturday night
@@superbowlman3207 Not only I can watch on TV I own a box set of Time Tunnel. 📽🎬
That's about as 60's as it gets.
The theme is actually pretty amazing
It reminds me a bit of "West Side Story" when the Sharks fight the Jets!
John Williams!
I won a fm radio contest by correctly guessing this theme was from "The Time Tunnel" and not "Lost in Space" which had a comparable melody.
Thank you very much, John Williams.
Never miss an episode when I was a Kid back in the day It was also the favorite Show of My Grandfather 👴 Bought the Complete Series on Amazon Video
The last episode,shows them jumping off"The Titanic". Nobody will ever know what happened next!.
@@kevindouglas8652 Like Sam Beckett on Quantum Leap, Doug and Tony never returned home.
Been maybe 50 years since I heard that music.
The series starred out on a high note, with the 2 guys getting sent inadvertently to the Titanic. But it gradually got a little...inane.
I remember watching this as a kid, loved it!
Boa
I would run home from School for this. Unforgettable.

Definitely
Absolutely. I'm only 35 and I love his Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea movie. Grew up with a lot of these classics when they showed them on the Sci-fi channel
Never get tired of John Williams
That Johnny Williams guy is going to go places.
Holy shit, I didn't know!
@@SierraSierraFoxtrot Really???What about Land of Giants and Gilligans Island?
@@pedrosura never seen them so I can't be surprised.
@@SierraSierraFoxtrot But you did see Timer Tunnel?? that is even more rare of a show!
My favorite tv series from 8 years old. This is my great crazy: concept time travel.
And the theme music was done by a very young John Williams. He also did the themes for Lost In Space and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
The theme songs were better than the shows themselves. LOST IN SPACE was so cheesy and bad but the other one's in the most part were okay.
Part true..but didn't work on voyage at all..
He did something else a bit more recently if only I could recall what it was. 😉
That explains my instant like to this music. Thanks for the clairification.
Thank U...
I didn't know that!
THIS WAS WHEN TV WAS AWESOME
I hear you. Good times.
Amen robert ! Truly the "good ole' days"
yep!
I hear but tv is getting better every year .
+ 1 !
Loved those Irwin Allen tv shows. Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Land of the Giants
Yeah I remember Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Richard Basehart started in that TV series. Short lived series if recall right!
You forgot Lost In Space.
@@daniellaubach7544 No, actually, it was Allen's longest running series with 4 seasons.
Loved this. The fact that whenever they ended up, the could be seen in full colour with sound back at tunnel HQ !
I gave this paradox absolutely no thought when I was a kid !
Huh?
@@hudsony777 Check out any episode.

As a young boy this show the land of the giants and the invaders were my favorites.thanks tee.
Mi serie favorita cuando era un niño..me fascinaba xq la fantasia no tenia limites..inimaginable..ya no hay mas series asi. Lamentablemente todo es destruccion y muerte. Una pena.😦🇦🇷❤🍷⚘👋
Amazing journeys! Watched this back in the early 80's.
I have never seen this in color before. We had a black & white TV then.
This was one of my fave progs to watch after coming home from school when I was about 8 or 9. It was just mindless, brilliant fun. 😀
this move was so cool it made it interesting to watch all the tech and going back in time
Yes, he scored several motion pictures-genius

The intro. alone is better than TV shows today.
Totally agree
That is a very low bar.
Dick Tufield does the narration here. For many, he's most remembered as the voice of "Robot" from Lost in Space.
Quite correct not only Dick Tufield did the voice of the robot in Lost in Space and narrated Time Tunnel he also did a one time narration on the movie Forbidden Planet 1956.📽🎬

Great theme music -it takes me back to my childhood.
Credit goes to John Williams who also did the themes for Lost In Space & Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea.
TimelordR Alexander Courage did Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
Paul Sawtell did the credit for the theme to an Irwin Allen TV series, "Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea",
but it was Johnny Williams who did the credit for the themes to three other Irwin Allen TV series.
Johnny did one theme for "The Time Tunnel", two themes for "Land Of The Giants", and the other two themes for the unforgettable "Lost In Space"!
The same MR Williams went on to write a few movie scores with a Mr Spielburg
Este seriado O Túnel do Tempo como ficou conhecido aqui no Brasil é um dos meus favoritos.
Oh the memories i loved this show and had a crush on James Darren the actor who played Tony love from Maria in the UK 😘😊🇬🇧
Brings back memories of my teenage years with my cousin and family,
"In the Hills of Beverly, oil that is, black gold, Texas Tea..."
I remember this show aired Friday nights on ABC at the same time and day CBS aired _The Wild Wild West_ and NBC aired _Tarzan._ How did we suvive in those days before video recorders!?
Love the retro-vintage mid century graphics / look
I know what a show growing up !
Rip James Darren….
Séries simplesmente espetaculares de Irwin Allen mt a quem de seu tempo!!!
When TV shows memorable theme music
Jazz in the 60s and 70s was so innovative. Very simple and yet very unique.
Inesquecível, para sempre em nossos corações. 🇧🇷
Time Tunnel in Brasil is O Túnel do Tempo !!! Eu tinha 9 anos nessa época , me lembro que era uma série que gostava muito , mas ficava apreensiva !!!
I wasn't even born when this was on, but I love this show, it was a shame it didn't go on longer
my favourite episode has to be the one about Pearl Harbour, where Tony meets his younger self.
Yes, there were good shows on TV, you connected to those shows as law of attraction. This was in 60, 70, 80s when TV had the right stuff.
You can almost always tell an Irwin Allen special. Lots of sparks, the sound of an electrical arc, and a Johnny Williams theme. Lots of brass and drums. But, Winton Hoch? The Winton Hoch? The ' The Quiet Man ' Winton Hoch? Wow.
Love this show. Bring it back!!!
I remember that show in 1966.
I also watched it in the sixties as a child!
Best show that I somehow missed. I didn't discover it until it started showing on MeTV.
I use to watch this as a kid on our black and white tv.
One of the leading stars of this show, James Darren released a number of hits during that wonderful era of 60s pop music. One of his 'Goodbye Cruel World' I remember listening to on our old valve wireless! What great times!!
Are you sure you're not thinking of BOBBY Darren?
Irwin Allen's legacy lives on somewhat in the new NBC Sci-Fi series Timeless.
Roland Emmerich is Irwin Allan's spiritual heir.
I wasn't born when this originally aired, but thanks to MeTV, I've discovered it. Love that John Williams did the theme.
Magnificient programs back in that decade!!!
Já está mais do que na hora de Hollywood fazer um filme sobre essa série fantástica.
He was billed as Johnny Williams in the LIS credits. He actually did two themes for LIS
I loved this show. Such a load of fun & excitement. Never forget Whit Bissell.
Can't believe it didn't last longer than a year! Fun Series.
Sinto muita saudades desta série espetacular.
Irwin was a master in this genre 🎉 . Thanks for the entertainment.
We used to go visit our friends that I have known for 60 years
They had 3 boys and I had no brothers or sisters.

would like to see them do a remake of this series in a made for TV or movie theater show.
They did remake it in 2002 with David Conrad as Doug Phillips and Andrea Roth as a female Toni Newman.
The pilot is included on The Time Tunnel DVD.
@@andrewweisneck1102 thanks musta missed it

This was Quantum Leap before Quantum Leap
Como nos disparó la imaginación está serie!!! Lastima qué duro muy poco!!..
Lost In Space Totally Brought Me Into
Irwin Allen!!!!!!
One of my favorite shows ever
Loved this show.
I remember this show. I think I was six or something. Cool.
Thankful to grow up in the 1960's with all the cool campy TV and the best part it was free! no damn cable.
I used 2 watch this show and Land of the Giants all the time when I was a kid.John Williams went 2 the same high school as I did.

Série maravilhosa. Nos anos sessenta foram produzidas as melhores.
Transported 30 times over 30 episodes and every time they landed at an important event in history, what are the chances…but hey, I loved it.
Maybe they had the co-ordinates ??
@@carolebarker2195 😊
KIDS nowdays should be made to watch all these greats
Recognize the composer of the theme music at 1m48s? ...
Yup, that's John Williams!
He also did Lost in Space
he also played piano on Peter Gunn...talk about a legend
He also did the theme for Gilligan's Island.
Don Abel yes that was his claim to fame working with Irwin Allen before working with Spielberg and Lucas.
@@fancylong "He also did the theme for Gilligan's Island."
No he didn't. The 'Gilligan's Island' theme was by Sherwood Schwartz and George Wyle. John Williams (known then as Johnny Williams) had nothing to do with the Gilligan's Island theme.
This series convinced me foreign languages are a recent invention, after all according to this show everyone in the past spoke English. LOL
Heck yeah! Just like every planet the landing party from the Starship Enterprise beamed down to. All the aliens spoke English!
Same with Dr Who.
