Time Belt

2003–2004 · 1 season

A scrappy, silly sci-fi sketch that feels like a homemade adventure made with friends and zero budget.

Overview: Time Belt is a science fiction/comedy series created by Chris Tallman that ran from 2003-2004 on Channel 101. The series followed the adventures of Dr. Bloom, a nerdy scientist who, after his girlfriend is killed in a lunar shuttle explosion, creates a belt that allows the wearer to travel through time. With intentionally poor production values, the series served as one of Channel 101's many homages to low-budget science fiction films.
How it feels: Absurd, campy, satirical and whimsical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Grief, obsession, science, love
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
