It's about time: Anyone
who's ever read or watched sci-
ence fiction knows the first rule
of time travel: don't muck
around in the past, lest your ac-
tions mess up the present. Un-
fortunately, Dan Chambers
seems to have missed that
memo.
Adam Pally ("The Mindy Proj-
ect") stars in "Making History,"
the new time-travel-meets-roman-
tic-comedy series that premieres
Sunday, March 5, on Fox. Pally's
Dan Chambers is an unpopular
computer science professor whose
invention of time travel presents
him with the perfect opportunity
to improve his love life: a whole
time line full of women who have
never heard his cheesy romantic
movie quotes or song lyrics before.
Leighton Meester ("Gossip
Girl") stars as the American Revo-
lution-era gal that Dan falls for, the
beautiful and sensual Deborah.
She finds him charming, hand-
some and funny — words no
woman has ever used to describe
him in his own time — but, like so
many young romances, things get
complicated when her father de-
cides to butt in.
Unfortunately, her dad happens
to be American patriot Paul Re-
vere (Matt Serritto, "The Sopra-
nos"), and Dan's adventures in
the past cause the hero to put his
famous ride on hold, potentially
altering the course of the revolu-
tion.
Yassir Lester ("Girls") also
stars as Dan's colleague, Chris, a
suave and popular history pro-
fessor whom Dan recruits to
help set time right. Together, the
three of them jump between
past and present as they try to
fix up the damage they've done
to history and save America as
we know it.
Created by longtime "The
Late Late Show" writer Julius
Sharpe, "Making History's" de-
but season was recently scaled
back to just nine episodes to
make room in Fox's already-
packed schedule.
There's a lot of laughs, a fair bit
of romance and a whole bunch of
time travel shenanigans in "Mak-
ing History," which premieres Sun-
day, March 5, on Fox.
Time travel, take two: Time
travel shows are "in," it seems. Fox
has "Making History" premiering
this week, and, on the very same
night, ABC is debuting its own
