If you live in Los Angeles or planning to visit the L.A. area and you would like to become a contestant on "Time Machine", you should of done that in 1985.
The bonus round is challenging but rewarding too. While 50:50 odds per question may sound easy is very hard; I speak from experience. John is clearly showing his growth in being an emcee but he looks like he may get better. Shirley did a good job today and I hope she will hit it tomorrow. Time Machine looks like a simple history oriented game show. While it is challenging I don't know if you need to have a great deal of knowledge for this show. TPIR games are okay but not here. I give it 3 stars
I dig this game, had I not be in school at the time I would have watched. Davidson does a really good job too (later performance on Pyramid that's another story) :)
This episode must be from either the week of 2/4/85, or the week of 2/11/85. I know this, cause that was when "Super Password" had its only tournament, and the chance to win $50,000 (as described by the NBC voiceover in the end credits).
Is John Davidson a die-hard Pittsburgh Steeleers fan? He's originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Oh lordy, I just looked up recent photos of John Davidson on the net and he has the same hair! Just a little longer. So tragic.

Love at 2:50 when Davidson says, "In case people are watching at home." Such confidence in your ratings share, John!

Hoping to see more video clips from "Time Machine" and some promos that NBC promoted the classic game show.

However, about a year after this, he would do a good job for about three years on "Hollywood Squares".

I think the format change to head-to-head players debuted on 2/11/85.
