While the series only ran one year, Irwin Allen was able to cookie cut 30 episodes for the 1966-67 season. Interestingly the show had respectable ratings its first year. Cast members were told to report to 20th Century Fox for a second season shoot, but some executive at ABC convinced the "movers and shakers" to replace Time Tunnel with a "real" historical drama called The Legend of Custer.. Irwin's Time Tunnel was shelved for the more "respectable" Little Big Horn size ratings disaster which only ran about half a season.
