Dan Chambers (Adam Pally) is a slacker janitor at a New England college. He discovers a time machine in a sack among his late father's possessions and uses it to travel to pre-revolutionary Lexington. He likes to spend his time drinking with John Hancock (John Gemberling) and Sam Adams (Neil Casey). He's also dating Deborah Revere (Leighton Meester), the eldest daughter of Paul Revere. All of the changes have derailed the American Revolution. In order to fix the past, he brings along history professor Chris Parrish (Yassir Lester).It's a great silly start. Adam Pally is at his best idiocy. At first, I wasn't sure where this show was going to go. Apparently, the writers aren't that sure either because the thing starts to ramble around. It fits the Chambers character with his aimlessness. I almost wish that they roll the dice and try to assassinate baby Hitler. I don't understand going back to gangland Chicago. This is a free-for-all. There is some fun with loads of lunacy but it is held back by its instability.

I'm a post-modern human being so watching TV-Series is, of course, one of my favourite things, except that shows containing a lot of earnest violence, tension, cliff hangers, love triangle situations, murder, sadness and/or a general abundance of negative situations stress me out more than they entertain me.I'm the kind of person who enjoys shows that employ a "make-fun-of-yourself- sometimes" kind of humor, have relatable characters, plots that are fun to follow and at least one female character that's not just there to make the male ones look tough. That's why I like 'Making History'! It has/does all of the above. It's hilarious, and manages to be that without making insensitive cheap-shot jokes about gender or race! There definitely are a lot of jokes based on stereotypes, but they usually go against and not with them and I like that a lot.I recommend this series to people who enjoy shows such as 'New Girl', 'Modern Family' and 'Parks and Recreation'. It's just really good for relaxing and having a good time, and it's also great for watching with friends that enjoy different genres of shows but all like a good laugh, since elements from several genres kind of come together here. As in those other shows the actors here seem really good at their jobs, and the terrible jokes are delivered with great comedic timing so that they are extra funny.I would not recommend it to people who need sequences about time travel to be science-y and believable, think sarcasm is the best kind of humor and/or hate puns, because this show will probably annoy them.

Gave it a try as I thought it might have potential. Trite poorly executed script with wooden acting, especially by Adam Pally.Even Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure did time travel more effectively and of course the Back to the Future trilogy makes this attempt look like it was performed on a Junior High School stage level.Sorry, even for a made for TV series this is purely pathetic.

I too felt like I missed an episode. However, once into the show I really liked it. i like the idea of history and comedy. I like historical shows, like Turn, and this is different in a good way. I'm hoping it keeps getting better - but for sure I'll be watching future episodes.
