A rip off/restart of Rewind from SyFy?


When I first saw the preview I thought I had already seen it. There was a pilot on SyFy a few years ago called Rewind. 3 people sent back in time to stop some other time traveler. A woman who knew history, a white army dude and a black guy. Send back to the early 1900s where things are "not awesome" for the black dude.

I never saw that... but what about Sliders (1995)? A woman with dark hair, a white guy with dark hair, and a black guy.

There was also a show called Time Trax where a future detective followed a villain TO the twentieth century. But the detective was a loner rather than part of a team (and that was a key part of his characterization)

Your totally right Timeless is nothing but a reboot of Rewind , I had never heard of it before so I looked it up. How sad of NBC/Universal/Comcast.

You realize that NBC owns SyFy right?

reply

Yep

So they own the property right? So how can they rip it off?

Where in my post did I say "rip off"? I said reboot.
