Answer 1

simply got cancelled after second series they never got back home

Answer 2

No because it was cancelled, and here's the story...

Writer Robert Duncan approached one of the leads with his desire to create more substantial material but was cut short. The actor was content with basic utterances like "Let's go!" or "We have to get out of here!" so that was the end of that. At the end-of-season wrap party spirits were high as cast members said their goodbyes for the summer, relieved that their show was renewed for a second season.

Alas, Time Tunnel was cancelled though not due to bad ratings. It had the Friday night ‘slot of death,' but the ratings were no worse than Star Trek depending on what was showing on the other two channels. In fact, ABC was internally hailing it as the one true success in what was a really bad season for them. Not one of their shows was in the top twenty end-of-year averages and the only new show that came close for even one week was The Time Tunnel. Why cancel it then? Well, someone at ABC pushed for a series called The Legend of Custer and managed to get enough of his fellow execs laid sufficiently to allow the series to not only get on the '67 fall schedule but to get additional promo funding. The only problem was that the fall schedule had been decided (but not officially announced) and there was no room for an additional one-hour drama. The exec in question argued for dropping Time Tunnel on the grounds that ‘Irwin Allen's giving you phony history lessons wrapped inside cheap sci-fi schlock. Custer was the real thing!' The argument apparently held just enough water to get Project Tic Toc shut down for good.

Answer 3

Not sure about Lee's answer the programme was made by ABC 1966-67
so was obviously short lived, and I suspect there they did not make an end. The penguin TV companion, says they used historical footage to keep the cost of making the show down, but makes not mention of them ever returning home, sorry!

Answer 4

Well I'm only up to episode 15 where they got caught up with the Magna Carter business, and I'm not going to watch the last episode and ruin it for me, just to put you out of your misery, If no-one gives you the answer I'll let you know in time, lol.

Answer 5

I used to love this too. I sem to recall that they did but I cant be certain so I will be watching this questions very carefully !!
