"Time Machine" was a short-lived American game show where contestants competed to answer trivia questions about popular culture and recent history to win prizes. The show starred John Davidson and ran on NBC from January to April 1985.

"Time Machine" was part of a wave of trivia-based game shows, all which attempted to duplicate the recent success of "Jeopardy!." The critics were not kind to "Time Machine;" apparently, neither were viewers, who opted for "The $25,000 Pyramid" instead. Viewers may have been put off the show's many format changes; by the end of the series, just about every aspect of the format had changed.

On the series premiere, John Davidson stated the show would "be around for a long time". On its finale roughly four months later, he claimed the show was a mini-series that was supposed to last only a few months.

Most of the questions used on "Time Machine" focused on nostalgia, popular culture and recent (usually post-World War II) history, and more specifically, what year a particular event occurred.

The Time Machine (sometimes known as H.G. Wells' The Time Machine) is a 1960 science fiction film based on The Time Machine, an 1895 novel by H. G. Wells about a man from Victorian England who travels far into the future. It was made by George Pál, who also filmed a famous 1953 version of Wells' The War of the Worlds. It starred Rod Taylor and Yvette Mimieux. The screenplay was written by Daniel Duncan and the musical score was composed by Russell Garcia.

The film received a 1961 Oscar for its then-novel use of time lapse photographic effects to show the world around the Time Traveller changing at breakneck speed.

Pal always wanted to make a sequel to the 1960 film. But it was only remade in 2002 with the same title directed by Wells' great-grandson Simon Wells.

The Time Machine is a 2002 science fiction film adapted from the 1895 novel The Time Machine by H. G. Wells. It was directed by Simon Wells, who is the great-grandson of the original author, and stars Guy Pearce, Jeremy Irons, Orlando Jones, Samantha Mumba, Mark Addy, Sienna Guillory, and Phyllida Law with a cameo by Alan Young who also appeared in an earlier film adaptation: The Time Machine (1960) The 2002 film includes new story elements, including a romantic backstory, that are not present in the original novel, as well as several new characters, such as an artificial intelligence played by Orlando Jones.

The film was generally not well received among critics, many of which regarded it as simply eye candy with an illogical, shallow story. A few, however, thought that it offered the potential for social commentary not present in the earlier 1960s film.

Was abandoned halfway during filming by Shekhar Kapur, and never completed due to financial problems.

In "Time Machine," contestants competed to answer questions about popular culture and recent (usually post-World War II) history. A series of rounds, each with different contestants, could see the contestants answer questions about newsmaking events, identifying events from a specific decade and sports and entertainment. The winners from each of those rounds competed against a returning champion in a Q&A-type quiz. The winner of that round played a bonus round. Two different bonus games were used during the show's run. Early in the series, host Davidson read a list of items all tied to a specific year (e.g., "West Side Story," Chevrolet Impala Super Sport introduced, "I Fall to Pieces" by Patsy Cline, Peace Corps started and Roger Maris' 61st home run); if the contestant correctly identified the year (in this case, 1961), he/she won a bonus prize. Later in the run, a specific year was given (e.g., 1959) and up to four questions relating to whether a certain event happened before or after that year were read (e.g., Vietnam War started, correct answer, before); four correct answers won the player a new car, while an incorrect answer before then stopped the game.
