Season 1 Review: It’s a messy, feather-light romp that establishes early on that, among other things, the past smelled pretty bad. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Bouncy, wholehearted and totally flighty, in ways both good and bad, it might just have the stamina to keeping this past-traveling series continuing for the foreseeable future. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Making History may get a D in real history but is passably funny in a hit-or-miss cartoonish way. Read full review

Vox.comEmily VanDerWerffMar 6, 2017
Season 1 Review: In short, Making History is supposed to revolve around the character with the least at stake, which isn’t terribly interesting, and in every episode it has to find ways to get around that problem. Pally’s a very funny guy, and Dan would make a fine supporting character. But as written, he’s not dynamic enough to carry the show. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Fox's Making History at least has the decency to be a spoof. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob OwenMar 3, 2017
Season 1 Review: The pilot has its intermittently amusing moments, but episode two, where the trio foments the American Revolution using 2016-era NRA tactics, proves stronger. A third episode involving travel to Al Capone’s Chicago, circa 1919, is fairly lackluster. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Ultimately, Making History feels like an awkward combination of “Family Guy” and “Timeless,” and it doesn’t quite fit into either mold. Read full review
