Note: this is a spoiler-free review of the first episode of Making History, which premieres tonight on Fox.
Time travel has suddenly become the hottest trope in television, which everything from DC's Legends of Tomorrow to Outlander to 12 Monkeys offering their own take on the subject. Making History is actually one of two time traveled-themed shows premiering tonight (the other being ABC's update of Time After Time). And while it has a few laughs to offer, Making History is hardly going to rise above an increasingly crowded pack.
Like fellow Fox comedy Last Man on Earth, Making History is executive produced by 21 Jump Street and The LEGO Movie directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller. Unfortunately, their involvement creates certain expectations that this series can't really live up to. That's all the more disappointing considering how much comedic gold the two mined from playing with historical icons in the short-lived animated series Clone High. Making History creator/writer Julius Sharpe is a veteran of Family Guy, and that show's raunchy, pop culture-obsessed sense of humor is much more in line with what to expect from this sitcom.
Nowhere is the Family Guy influence more apparent than with main protagonist Dan (The Mindy Project's Adam Pally), a pop culture-obsessed, blue collar schlub with a talent for bumbling his way through life's problems. Dan coasts through life as a facilities manager at a small Massachusetts university, passing the time until he can fire up his homemade time machine (basically the innards of Doc Brown's DeLorean crammed into a giant duffel bag) and travel back to the days of the American Revolution. There, this faceless loser finds himself the most popular guy in town, even winning the heart of a comely maiden named Deborah (Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester).
Making History is a reasonably entertaining sitcom featuring a likable cast of leads and some funny time travel-based humor. Unfortunately, with so many shows focusing on time travel these days, the bar has been st pretty high. And even with the involvement of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, Making History doesn't do much to rise above the crowd.
