I've never heard of Time Tunnel.
It was done by Irwin Allen, around the same time he was making Lost in Space.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I was vaguely familiar with some of the details about the Holocaust when I was a child, but it was only after seeing a TV movie about the capture of Adolf Eichmann when I was around 12 that I started researching the subject. (They didn't really teach it in school in the 1970s; we were lucky to get past the Great Depression in our American History class.)
I also developed an "historical figure" crush on John Adams after seeing 1776 for the first time at about the same time (junior high or so), and watched the beginning of The Adams Chronicles on PBS as a result.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Oh, I got Holocausted out during the 50th anniversary stuff while I was in Jr Hi. I think the current parallel would be the Vietnam era. Kids learn next to nothing about it in school
And I share you HFC, and its source.

Thrive to spite them
At first I mistook Time Tunnel for Voyagers. Voyagers was about a guy who was part of an organization who went through time and corrected things and ended up with a kid to help him (mostly because the guy sucked with history).

Castle Gudanov has a Time Elevator rather than a Time Tunnel. The elevator has a vast array of buttons that will take you to seemingly random buildings at different places in time and space. I don't use it much because the music is really annoying.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

move out and draw fire
OK, well, this seems like the TIME to ask: does anyone remember a game where you had to go to different historial periods and do certain things, and your actions would move a counter on an orbit? Your goal was to get all the counters (there were multiple orbits) lined up.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I thought he was helped by a talking dog with glasess....

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Ya know, visually Time Tunnel is sort of the precursor of Stargate.

It starred James Darren years and years before he showed up in Quark's holosuite.
Oh. My. Goodness. I've never ever made that connection, and his face from "The Time Tunnel" is burned into my scary visual place. Wow. And Vic Fontain was always sort of familiar to me, but I've always assumed it was because he was supposed to look like somebody. I've never even thought to IMDB it. Huh.
I guess I've just assumed that none of the people who participated in this has ever done anything else. Because they were stuck in time or something.
But I've never watched "Lost in Space" or "Stargate", so at least there are more things these (or other) people did that I don't know of, and can still think that they're stuck in time.
