This second set of 15 episodes is the one to get if you enjoy Time Tunnel for its unintentional comedy value. All the stupidest plots are here, including "Revenge of Robin Hood," "Pirates of Deadman's Island," "Merlin the Magician" and the jaw-droppingly ridiculous "Death Merchant" (Machiavelli at Gettysburg? What were those writers smoking?). Here too are the many episodes which lamely attempted to mix aliens from space with period drama, including "Raiders from Outer Space" and the laugh-out-loud "Visitors From Beyond The Stars."
On the bright side, this set also has "Kill Two by Two," one of the few episodes of the series that actually works, thanks to an intriguing script and a wildly intense performance by the late Mako.
There's also an unaired pilot for a new Time Tunnel series from 2002. It isn't half bad.

I'm very glad to have the entire series on DVD after 40 years. Was it a great show? No, but as a 10 year old when it came out I loved it, and the trip down nostalgia lane has been fun. The pilot for a 2002 series was interesting, but keeping the names Tony Newman and Doug Philips seemed a stretch. But, there's a lot of unused space on these disks, and there is a wonderful documentary, The Fantasy World of Irwin Allen, that could have been put somewhere.
I wish that ABC would do a revival show, after all, Meriwether, Darren, and Colbert are still alive. Bring them home!

I purchased this for my father's 78th birthday. He really liked the show when it was originally on television. He LOVES watching the show on DVD now. I think he probably has every show memorized, he watches them so much. It brought him much joy!

On this second set to end the series,we are exploring the IRWIN ALLEN syndrome that usually happened in season 2 of his shows.The TIME TUNNEL had only 30 episodes,so the syndrome had to appeared at midpoint.When the aliens arrived in the western town,i said to myself:he did it again,he almost killed his best show.However,there are too many positive aspects about the TIME TUNNEL to call it a dud.After all,it had a great concept to begin with,a great cast of actors and supporting actors and many surprizes happening in and ouside the tunnel to keep our interest until the end.Yes it's tue that those 15 episodes are generally weaker than the prevous set.The writing is less effective and the situations less convincing but there are enough good ones to make it worth buying.The interviews with some of the cast members : WHIT BISSEL,JAMES DARREN,ROBERT COLBERT and LEE MERIWETHER were a good thing to add.ROBERT COLBERT for one had some interestings comments to say if the serie had lasted longer.
