I've been asked to do a blog for the Science and Entertainment Exchange on
time travel as a plot device on TV and/or in movies. This thread was great.
But since I'm not a fan of science fiction, and since I'm having trouble
coming up with some kind of "hook," I thought I'd let the members of this

I don't know. The spirits keep saying Scrooge is seeing visions of what
happened in the past and what might happen in the future if he doesn't change
his ways.

True enough - Captain John had a working Vortex Manipulator and took Jack
back in time to bury him alive, but again, that was a one-off.

"Torchwood" doesn't really fit the definition, because as much as Captain
Jack Harkness is a man out of time, time travel doesn't play a major role
within the action of the series. (All of Jack's time travel takes place
within "Doctor Who".) T
Ah, the shows about guys returning to being teenagers I was thinking

"Phineas and Ferb" have done several interesting time travel episodes.
There was a so-so BBC series in the late '90s called "Crime Traveller"
th
Not exactly. While Red Dwarf has messed with the idea of time travel
("Timeslides" in particular), the reset you mentioned occurred at the
beginning of series 8; the full (pre-disaster) crew was restored after the
nanobots rebuilt the ship. No time travel was involved.

Actually, Eureka's dabbled with the notion of time travel a few times, going
back to their first season finale, where Henry screws with the time/space
continuum to stop Kim from being killed by the Artifact, and Jack has to go
back to stop him, risking his future with Allison. More recently, th
Stargates SG-1 and Atlantis have used this. SG-1 multiple times. (1969,
Window of Opportunity, Unending to name 3)

Red Dwarf later in the series went back to a time before the

"Journeyman" comes to mind.
As well as several "Twilight Zone" episodes, but that probably goes without
saying.
