On this day, January 7, 1985, the game show Time Machine premiered on NBC. Hosted by John Davidson, known for his work on That’s Incredible!, this trivia-based game show invited contestants to test their knowledge of pop culture, history, and events from the past.

The show featured unique formats, including rounds where contestants had to guess the year associated with specific clues, making it a fun and educational journey through time. Despite its creative concept, Time Machine only lasted one season, producing a total of 80 episodes.

Fun Fact: John Davidson’s charisma as a host was a highlight of the show. He was already a household name thanks to his work on That’s Incredible!, which showcased amazing feats and unusual talents.

Did you ever watch Time Machine? What’s your favorite trivia game show from the 80s?
