Timecop

How else can you explain it? They were constantly shifting this show around from one time slot to another, preempting it with sporting events, and generally making it difficult for anyone who wanted to watch this show to know when to tune in. And then, *BIG SURPRISE*, halfway through the season, they decided it wasn't getting good ratings (I can't imagine why) and cancelled it.

This was one of those shows that had a brilliant story and cast and was utterly let down by the network, the Airing was almost random and thus no one got to watch it through until it was cancelled and was availible to buy. This could have been a stargate SG-1 peer but with modern CGI this show could be a brilliant insight into the changes taking place in society and cultures. The stories or historical events picked up are only some of the objious ones and it could go much further. Logan's charicter is that of a typical alpha male and is contrasted brilliantly by Hemmings. The tech could use a little more explanation by someone with a better background in temporal mechanics and current quantum theory as the idea of practical time travel is not that far fetched if not for the lack of a power source capable of bending space-time.

I don't think that this show was ever going to win any awards. Still, I enjoy it enough to watch it whenever an episode is re-run on UK television (usually in the early mornings).

All of the episodes have the same, basic premise. Someone has travelled into the past and is changing time in ways which could catastrophically affect the present. Jack Logan (sometimes accompanied by fellow timecop Claire Hemmings) is sent back in time to defeat the bad guy. In doing so, he often has to deal with real historical characters, such as Al Capone, Jack The Ripper and Adolf Hitler !

I must admit that a big part of the show's appeal for me is the character of Claire, played by Cristi Conaway. Conaway has an old fashioned kind of beauty, like a pre-WWII film star, and I can't take my eyes off her when she's on screen. I especially enjoy the episodes where she travels back to the 20s or 30s and has to dress in the style of those decades.

Anyway, by no means is this a brilliant series but it is an enjoyable way to pass an hour.

This is one tv series that truly sucks. None of the characters are interesting. The Female lead(Cristi Conaway) is horrible. The male lead(Ted King II) leaves alot to be desired, as does the entire show. I thought it would have some saving grace since the movie was so Kick-ass. I guess not. I know Jean Claude has made some bad movies, but Timecop was amongst his finest. And he fit the title role more perfectly than anyone I can think of. If they couldn't get him to do the show they should have just let it go. I keep trying to watch it now that sci-fi channel is airing it again. But each time I turn the channel and wonder what else I could have done with the time I spent watching this lame spin-off of a comic book, to a movie, to a tv show. Save yourselves the time and read a book or something.

Having been a fan of the movie "Timecop," I was quite thrilled when I discovered this TV Series. I immediately found T.J. Cook a lot more likable than Jean-Claude Van Damme, and the effects were nearly as top notch as the film!

Too bad ABC didn't know when to air this show, and it was immediately lost into the void. First "Timecop," then "Cupid." ABC simply doesn't know good programming. I wonder how many fans of Science Fiction Television even knew this show aired?!?!?

Hopefully, The Sci-Fi Channel will pick this one up and air all of the episodes. After it was canceled, ABC randomly aired the remaining episodes at the most absurd times...I missed out!

*EDIT*

SCI-FI Chanell has heard my pleas and aired the show! Bless you SCI-FI!
