Oh wait, that's too highbrow for Fox TV. No this is more like "Voyagers!" for the-short-attention-span-generation. Do we have a character who knows next-to-nothing-about-History-and-just-wants-to-get-it-on? Check. Do we have a character who could go on and on about period minutiae even as a horse deposits road apples on his shoes? Check. Do we have a smart woman with common sense and is another "Ellen Ripley"? Check. Now turn the comedy writers loose on this mess, stand back, and...why isn't anything happening? It will have to do, I guess, since "Timeless" isn't coming back and "History is Bunk." So Junior found out how to build a "duffel bag time machine while going through his father's papers, found Love in 1775 Massachusetts, (supposedly)kept The American Revolution from happening, and dragged in a pedantic History professor to fix the time line. One stays, one comes into the 21st century, and surprise, surprise, History has been changed. Stay tuned for "A Sound of Thunder," network TV-lite version.
