I loved the Time Tunnel when I was a child; to see the episodes again was delighted. The quality of the reproduction supper. The acting and the special effects were in accordance with that time 1960's.

I ordered both of the Time Tunnel DVD's. Never got to the second one. Poor acting and very dated effects.

Saturday afternoons...flipping through the 3 TV channels...FOUND AN EPISODE OF TIME TUNNEL! That's how I remember these. They made my Saturday afternoon when I was young, and they still do. So share some entertaining history with someone younger, and make Saturday afternoon all over.

I loved watching these episodes as a child. I remember my friend and I "playing" Time Tunnel during grade school recess... great times. The episodes are just as I remember them. The special features are good, though I would have liked to seen a few more. The unaired 2002 pilot was great... too bad it never got this second chance... perhaps in the "future."
The packaging is good. The only downside is I don't care for the double-sided disks.

Either the original prints of this show were in amazing condition to begin with or the studio spared no expense to remaster them for this release. The video transfer is absolutely stunning and the audio is crisp and clean. It's too bad given the technology available today; the studio couldn't remaster the sound in 5.1 Dolby Digital, maybe they thought it didn't need it. In my opinion the picture is really amazing and I don't ever remember seeing this show look so good.
Season one volume two contains the final 15 episodes of this Irwin Allen classic and it remains one of my favorite TV shows of all time. From the creative mind of Irwin Allen we get to join scientists Tony Newman (James Darrin) and Doug Phillips (Robert Colbert) as they enter the Time Tunnel to prove that Project Tic Toc was indeed capable of sending humans through time and bringing them back, hopefully in one piece. Trapped in time and unable to return home because they tried to use the Time Tunnel before it was completed, the scientists now wait helplessly as they're colleagues try to get them back. Will Tony and Doug ever get back to the present or will they float in time for ever?
DVD extras include interviews with cast members, a still photo gallery, the 1970's made for TV "Time Travelers" movie and the unaired 2002 TV pilot episode. The bonus features this time around are a definite plus, although the footage of the 1970's "Time Travelers" movie is not as sharp as the 1960's episodes. As for the unaired 2002 TV pilot, it's almost an hour long and the sound is in 5.1. After watching the 2002 pilot episode I could see why the studio passed on it, it's like watching a lesser version of Stargate, only not as good.
This amazing DVD set completes the original series and is a must for all "Time Tunnel" fans new or old. My only complaint is that a 30 episode series took two volumes to complete when the Studio could have easily released a complete series set to begin with. Recently the complete season one of the "Wild Wild West" with all 28 episodes & bonus extras was released on 7 single sided discs by Paramount and definitely more affordable. I hope this review was helpful.
