Time Machine is an American game show where contestants compete to answer trivia questions about popular culture and recent history to win prizes. The show aired on NBC from January 7 through April 26, 1985 and was hosted by John Davidson. Charlie Tuna was the announcer, with Rich Jeffries as his substitute.

Most of the questions used focused on nostalgia, popular culture, and recent history, and more specifically what year a particular event occurred.

S1E3 — Masters of Time

Time has increasingly become an obsession for the human race. Our internal body clocks dictate many of our actions despite the fact that we have introduced cryogenics and plastic surgery to cheat ageing and freeze life. The idea of controlling time - being a "timelord" - is an attractive one, but is it really possible that one day, perhaps by travelling at the speed of light, we might be able to walk with dinosaurs or go to visit our future descendants? Narrated by Jeremy Vine, the last part of this series examines this question and asks whether the humble worm holds the secret to eternal life.
