Yeah, the male leads are still boring, but Deb has potential and since they added John Hancock and Sam Adams as (for the nonce) regulars they own the show. ---

I love the show, and I’m afraid it’ll be cancelled. I don’t mind the male leads, in fact I think the actor who plays Chris, Yassir Lester, is hilarious. Here’s hoping Fox orders more episodes. ---

I love it too. It’s silly and light. ---

I like this show so of course it is cancelled after one season. ---

I’m ok with the show in general. My problem is that they think Adam Pally is funny all by himself. ---

Yeah, that’s a misconception. Described the show to Wife, who mostly limits her viewing to news and shows that start with Star Trek. She sez that Hancock and Adams are accurately portrayed, as they were cutups and the Fun Crowd of the colonies. ---

The lead character was the liability. ---

[It won’t be back for a new season](http://tvline.com/2017/05/11/making-history-cancelled-fox-season-2/). Not really surprising. Good idea for a show, poor execution. ---

God-awful execution. Timeless is another show that should be better and I don’t expect back. Time travel should be easy on a shoestring budget–Doctor Who did it for decades. Costumes are already made. Sets are in storage.
