The Time Tunnel is the most fondly remembered of Irwin Allen's four science fiction series, yet it is the one that receives the least exposure today. This is due to the fact that it has fewer episodes than any of the others. The Time Tunnel tells the tale of two American scientists traveling through the endless corridors of time, never knowing where they will land.

The time machine that sent them on this endless journey was known as the time tunnel.  It was developed in a huge underground city beneath the desert at an undisclosed location in the American west. Funding for the time tunnel ís about to be cut as the series opens. With the project near completion, in order to prove that the project works, Dr. Tony Newman decides to test the device on himself and lands on the Titanic in April 1912. When it becomes apparent that Tony can't be brought back home, Dr. Doug Phillips uses the time tunnel to join Tony on the Titanic, bringing 'proof' that the ship will soon sink. Of course they are unable to prevent the ship from sinking and just before they are about to perish they are rescued by the scientists back at time tunnel control. Unfortunately they cannot be brought back home, ending up instead in another time period at a crucial point in history. As Spock said, time is like a river with currents and eddys. Due to a lesser known by product of time travel they also are always back in their original clothing at the end of each episode, regardless of what they were wearing when the time tunnel locked onto them to transport them to the next time period! And at the end of the last episode they go back to the titanic indicating they are forever lost in a repeating time loop.
