And I think the main reason I am intrigued by timeless because I always toyed with the premise that all of human history can be explained as this epic battle between good guys and bad guys going back and time and trying to fix it (with a lot of historical figures being secret agents sent back to "fix" time).
Maybe I am giving timeless too much credit, but yeah.
I brought this up before but it just seems like Networks are just ceding quality tv to the cable networks and Netflix.

>This is the trailer for Downward Dog, a show headed to ABC

>The show, which ABC Entertainment Group president Channing
>Dungey calls "very special", combines the cutting-edge comedy

>Imaginary Mary seems poised to revolutionize the television
>comedy landscape by providing users with a totally laugh-free
>experience.

>Here is the official description, via the ABC YouTube

>her ability to mother, Imaginary Mary, her childhood invention
>(voiced by Rachel Dratch), comes back to life to express
