as in Lost in Space, as "Johnny Williams"). GNP Crescendo later released an album featuring Williams' work and the score composed by George Duning for the episode "The Death Merchant". The series won an Emmy Award in 1967, for Individual Achievements in Cinematography. The award went to L.B. "Bill" Abbott, for his photographic special effects. Recurring elements A short "teaser" from next week's episode was shown at the end of each episode as Doug and Tony arrived at their next destination, with one exception: Episode three's ending teaser has a scene where Tony lands 10 years before 1968 in the desert, at the time tunnel complex. He tries to tell Doug that he works there and he knows him. This was not to be seen in the following episode. The impressive introduction to the scale of the project (over 36,000 people and huge underground buildings) is never seen after the first episode except for two clips of the giant power generator flashing, and Tunnel Security running across a walkway. New matte paintings and models were created specifically for The Time Tunnel pilot episode. Most episodes involved the capture or detention of Doug, Tony, or both, their escape, their recapture, and their escape again, before their move to the next episode. Nearly all location shooting was filmed in and around Southern California. This causes scenes set in different parts of the country (or the world) to have the same general hilly landscape with arid-type trees and brush typical to the local region where filming occurred. The majority of episodes placed Tony and Doug in stories set in past historical contexts. Aliens and people from the future were similarly dressed, often in metallic silver clothing, like other Irwin Allen television series of the same era. Many episodes used stock footage from previous 20th Century-Fox and Irwin Allen productions. These shots ran the gamut from episodes on General Custer, to the sinking of the Titanic, and many other historical events. Episodes While the episodes were first shown in 1966, the show's setting begins in 1968, two years into the then-future. Cancellation Although The Time Tunnel was scheduled on Fridays (often considered the "Friday night death slot" for TV programs), the ratings for the series were solid. ABC pointed to The Time Tunnel as one of the few successes in a disastrous schedule. A series titled The Legend of Custer was lobbied to drop
