Time Travel Television Shows

Television has relied on the themes of time travel and alternate universes as story telling devices throughout the medium's history. Whether they are employed as plot devices or whether they form the premise of the series, there have been no shortage of time travel based shows on the tube.

Below are two lists of time travel related television series and episodes.

Premise Based Time Travel/Alternate Universe Series
Includes shows whose entire premise is based on the concept of Time Travel and/or Alternate Universes. Examples include: Dr. Who, Quantam Leap, The Time Tunnel, Sliders and Seven Days.

Plot Based Time Travel/Alternate Universe Episodes
Examples can be found in many science fiction and non-science fiction based series alike. The use of time travel or alternate universes can be used as an opportunity to create a "What If..." situation for characters of a series to explore. These episodes may be a one-time situtation or scenario where a character is returned to the past or allowed to resolve a certain situation.
