Time Trax (1993–1994)
What's really funny about Time Trax

When I saw the summary from the only user comment on the page for this series that it was very funny, I had to read the whole comment to see if the poster found the same thing humorous as I did. Then I found that the only thing this user found so hilarious was that it was filmed in Australia, but not set there. Like no other flick or TV show ever was shot in a different location than where the story was set. Whatever.

What I thought the comment was about was the logical inconsistencies in the story. The one that really stands out is the fact that the series is based on the multiple-universe model of time travel. So when Lambert meets one of the time-traveling criminals he is in our time to target, he tells him that his scheme to change the future won't work because he is in a different universe; his actions in the past can only alter the future of that universe. Yet one of the things Lambert himself does in almost every episode is to communicate with his buddies in the future by placing classified ads in newspapers. That obviously wouldn't work for the same reason. Duh!
