"Time After Time" has the showier premise, adapted from a 1979 movie about "The Time Machine" author H.G. Wells having actually created such a transport, using it to pursue Jack the Ripper into the present day.
This being ABC, both principals have received hunky upgrades. It"s 1893 when Wells (Freddie Stroma, the British bachelor in Lifetime"s "UnReal") proudly unveils his creation to a group of friends -- one of whom, unfortunately, is Dr. John Stevenson ("Revenge"s" Josh Bowman), who happens to be the bloodthirsty Jack.
With Scotland Yard on his tail, Jack escapes into 2017, a time he finds almost intoxicatingly suited to his appetites. It"s a little more overwhelming to Wells, who receives help from an initially skeptical museum curator (Genesis Rodriguez).
The two-hour premiere dutifully sets up the premise, with Wells (conveniently landing in New York) agog over the modern sights of Time Square, and shaken by how his utopian dreams failed to materialize. "What are you, in "Les Miz?"" someone asks him, appraising his clothes.
Yet even with some elaborate new wrinkles, before it"s over the launch betrays the inherent challenge in teasing out this sort of murderous cat-and-mouse game.
While the pilot script is credited to Nicholas Meyer, who wrote and directed the original film, the series is produced of Kevin Williamson and Marcos Siega. That duo previously collaborated on another serial-killer series, "The Following," which started well and ran off the rails.
"One must be careful not to disrupt the very fabric of time," Wells says, explaining time travel"s potential unintended consequences. It"s an admonishment that similarly applies to such dramatic constructs, and why the clock on how long "Time After time" can sustain interest already appears to be ticking.
"Making History," by contrast, is the comedy version of this premise, with Dan ("Happy Endings"" Adam Pally) -- the facilities manager at a small college -- having stumbled upon his own quirky time conveyance, which lets him zap back to earlier periods.
In fact, he"s been regularly visiting the Revolutionary War era, where he amusingly uses his future knowledge (including quotations from popular songs) to woo a lovely lass ("Gossip Girl"s" Leighton Meester) and establish himself as a heck of a guy, roundly liked by all.
"Sometimes I use things from the future to make them like me more here," he admits to his pal Chris (Yassir Lester), an understandably stunned history professor.
Two later episodes previewed involve going back to Prohibition and encountering Al Capone, opening up the concept to brief visits to various chapters in history. But the show also toys with the prospect of messing up the timeline, albeit more in the service of comedic effect than the butterfly variety.
Produced by the team responsible for Fox"s "The Last Man on Earth" and created by a "Family Guy" alum, the series has fun with anachronisms, from Meester"s character saying "Who else would talk politics with a woman?" to a sly message about just how much Americans love their guns. Oh, and Sam Adams and John Hancock? Turns out they were kind of immature jerks.
As the lone comedy of the bunch, "Making History" feels like the more expansive concept, with the latitude to drop its central trio into a variety of settings. That"s especially true if it can continue wryly using the past to effectively comment on the present.
Both shows actually have enough to recommend them to merit a look, with the disclaimer that the future in terms of their long-term appeal looks extremely murky.
"Making History" and "Time After Time" premiere March 5 at 8:30 and 9 p.m., respectively, on Fox and ABC.
Komodo National Park is being celebrated on its 37th anniversary with a Google Doodle.
Komodo National Park in Indonesia sits at the center of an archipelago and consists mainly of 3 volcanic islands. The landscape is unlike any other, ranging from dry savanna conditions to lush forests, all surrounded by white-sand beaches and bright blue water, Google says. Despite the plethora of native wildlife, Komodo dragons are still what the park is best known for. Thanks to National Parks like Komodo, wildlife can continue to thrive largely uninterrupted by human interference.
Heres what you need to know about Komodo National Park and Komodo dragons:
1. Komodo National Park Includes Komodo, Padar & Rinca, Along With Several Smaller Indonesian Islands

Komodo National Park is located in Indonesia within the Lesser Sunda Islands. It includes the islands of Komodo, Padar and Rinca, along with several other smaller islands, according to its website.
Including land and water, the national park covers about 1,100 miles.
The park was established in 1980, to conserve the unique Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) and its habitat. However, over the years, the goals for the Park have expanded to protecting its entire biodiversity, both terrestrial and marine, the parks website explains.
It was designated in 1990 as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
These volcanic islands are inhabited by giant lizards, whose appearance and aggressive behaviour have led to them being called Komodo dragons. They exist nowhere else in the world and are of great interest to scientists studying the theory of evolution. The rugged hillsides of dry savannah and pockets of thorny green vegetation contrast starkly with the brilliant white sandy beaches and the blue waters surging over coral, UNESCO says.
2. The Island Is Home to More Than 3,000 Komodo Dragons, Along With Timor Deer & 72 Species of Birds

There are more than 3,000 Komodo dragons, and it was established originally to protect that species of giant lizards. But the island is also home to many other animals, including the Komodo dragons main prey, Timor deer, and 72 species of birds, according to the Komodo National Park website.
Moreover, the Park includes one of the richest marine environments including coral reefs, mangroves, seagrass beds, seamounts, and semi-enclosed bays. These habitats harbor more than 1,000 species of fish, some 260 species of reef-building coral, and 70 species of sponges, the national park says. Dugong, sharks, manta rays, at least 14 species of whales, dolphins, and sea turtles also make Komodo National Park their home.
According to the World Wildlife Fund, Scientists, underwater photographers, and recreational sport divers alike travel from all over the globe to experience the spectacular biodiversity of more than 50 world-class dive sites ranging from challenging blue water current dives with a chance of glimpsing large pelagic species to discovering rare invertebrates on a muck dive closer to shore.
There are also human residents of the island. According to the World Wildlife Fund, that population has increased over the past century. In 1930, there were 300 people living permanently on the islands that make up Komodo National Park. By 2000, there were 1,200 people living there.
As more people move to komodo national park in search of economic opportunity, an important part of the conservation strategy for ensuring a sustainable future is balancing the economic needs of the local community with the challenge of protecting a delicate ecosystem, the WWF says.
3. Male Komodo Dragons Can Be as Heavy as 170 Pounds & Females Weigh Up to 160 Pounds

Komodo dragons are the largest lizards living in the world, according to the Smithsonians National Zoo. It is also one of the few venomous lizards.
The average Komodo dragon weighs about 150 pounds, according to the zoo. The largest dragon ever recorded weighed 366 pounds and was 10 feet long, the National Zoo says.
Females weigh up to 160 pounds. Males generally weigh up to 176 pounds, according to the San Diego Zoo. The zoo says the dragons diet varies:
An adult Komodo dragon eats whatever food is available. Its natural prey, however, is the Timor deer. The deer are wary and quite agile, requiring the dragon to resort to lying in ambush in the long grass next to game trails, in order to be successful in hunting. When the deer passes by, the dragon uses its long claws and sharp teeth to attack. If the prey escapes, the dragon can rely on its long tongue to find its whereabouts, even up to a mile away (1.6 kilometers) away!
Komodo dragons also eat water buffalo and wild pigs, both of which were introduced by man, as well as snakes and fish that wash up on the shore. On Rinca and Komodo islands, pigs have become common in some areas and are now competitors for food with the big lizards. Some dragons have visible scars from conflicts with wild boars. Komodo dragons may also be cannibalistic. Fortunately, the young spend their lives in trees, which likely helps reduce their risk of predation from the adults.
4. They Can Run Up to 12 Miles Per Hour

Komodo dragons can run up to 13 miles per hour on land, according to the National Zoo.
Its hunting strategy is based on stealth and power. They can spend hours in one spot, waiting for a deer, boar, goat or anything sizable and nutritious, the zoo says. When threatened, Komodos can throw up the contents of their stomachs to lessen their weight in order to flee.
The dragons can also swim.
5. Komodo Dragons Are Not on the Endangered Species List, but Are Considered to be Vulnerable

Komodo dragons are not on the endangered species list, but are considered to be vulnerable, according to the San Diego Zoo:
The magnificent Komodo dragon is vulnerable. Some might think that the largest lizard in the world wouldnt have to worry about its safety. One study estimated the population of Komodo dragons within Komodo National Park to be 2,405. Another study estimated between 3,000 and 3,100 individuals. On the much larger island of Flores, which is outside the National Park, the number of dragons has been estimated from 300 to 500 animals. Komodo dragons that live outside of the National Park are at greatest risk, as habitat fragmentation and frequent burning of grasslands to hunt Timor deer are the greatest risks to their survival. On the island of Flores, Komodo habitat is shrinking quickly because of the impact of a human population of approximately 2 million.
The Komodo dragons tend to stay in the same location, according to the San Diego Zoo.
Komodo dragons tend to remain within the same valleys they were hatched in. Only rarely have any individuals been recaptured in a different location from where they were initially discovered, the zoo says. Similarly, females often nest in the same nest location each time. We have some initial information that suggests that to become a very big male it may take as much as 20 years of growth, while for females 5 to 7 years seems to be when they are reach maturity.
They are estimated to live up to about 30 years.

CNN unveiled an online clock on Wednesday to keep track of the length time between President Trump attacks anyone on Twitter.
The news outlet made the announcement in the wake of Trumps well-received address to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night.
A CNN poll taking afterwards found 7-in-10 who watched the speech felt more optimistic based on the presidents remarks.

Trump stated at one point in his speech that the time for trivial fights is behind us, as he gestured towards the Democrat side of the chamber.
CNN noted, Trumps pivot to mellower rhetoric is actually a few days old. He hasnt knocked, tweaked or attacked anyone on Twitter since Sunday afternoon, when he claimed, Russia talk is FAKE NEWS put out by the Dems, and played up by the media, in order to mask the big election defeat and the illegal leaks!
The new outlet stated that people will now be able to track the time between the presidents engagement against others on Twitter.
As reported by Western Journalism,Trump put the Clinton News Network and the other purveyors of fake news in his cross-hairs last Friday, differentiating it from the legitimate role media should play.
Nobody loves the First Amendment better than me. No one uses it more than I do, Trump quipped during a speech at the CPAC event in Washington, D.C.
He added, It gives me the right to criticize fake news and criticize it strongly.

The president said the media even falsely reported on his criticism.
I called the fake news the enemy of the people, Trump explained, but noted that many outlets reported he called the media the enemy of the people.
The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!
Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 17, 2017
Last month, Trump announced, in a lighthearted way, that he was downgrading CNN from fake news to very fake news, which drew laughter from the reporters present, including CNNs Jim Acosta.

The press has become so dishonest that if we dont talk about it, we are doing a tremendous disservice to the American people, Trump contended during the press conference.
Roger Stone: How Donald Trump Orchestrated a Revolution and Declared War Against Alt-Left Fake News
Roger Stone, a stout supporter and confidant of Trump, has echoed the president"s claims that the FBI"s investigation into the president"s staff ties with Russia was becoming a "witch hunt".
The former adviser during Trump"s election campaign also resolutely denied allegations that he had any connection to Russia in an interview on Friday.
Stone said he had no knowledge that Wikileaks was going to publish hacked Clinton campaign emails during a pivotal time in campaigning, allegedly delivered to the website by Russian intelligence in order to influence the presidential election.
Roger Stone, a confidant of Trump, claims the FBI"s investigation into the president"s staff ties with Russia during the election was becoming a "witch hunt" on Friday
He also deniedhaving any knowledge that Wikileaks was going to publish hacked Clinton campaign emails, despite a tweet that predicted the leak months beforehand
Stone"s cry of a witch hunt is a direct echo of Trump"s defense of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who removed himself from the investigation after it was revealed he had met with a Russian ambassador twice.
although stone denies knowing wikileaks was set to publish the hacked emails, he had tweeted in August 2016 a prediction about the leaked information.
He said that it would "soon" be "Podesta"s time in the barrel", shortly before the website rolled out the controversial emails.
The political consultant told aCBS News reporter he suspected the bureau was looking into him as well.
He said: "Sure they"ll get my grocery lists, they may get the emails between my wife and I, but here"s what they won"t get -- any contact with the Russians. It"s a witch hunt. I know it is."
Stone is using the same rhetoric as Trump to criticize the FBI investigation, both calling it a "witch hunt".
The president said in a tweet on Thursday:"Jeff Sessions is an honest man. He did not say anything wrong. He could have stated his response more accurately, but it was clearly not intentional.
Stone echoed Donald Trump"s term of a "witch hunt", regarding the FBI"s investigation. Trump defended Attorney General Jeff Sessions using the same wording on Thursday
"This whole narrative is a way of saving face for Democrats losing an election that everyone thought they were supposed to win. The Democrats are overplaying their hand. They lost the election and now, they have lost their grip on reality.
"The real story is all of the illegal leaks of classified and other information. It is a total witch hunt!"
Russia"s foreign minister Sergei Lavrov, also declared the investigation as a witch hunt on Friday, Politico reported.
FBI Director James Comey was appointed to his position by former President Barack Obama in 2013.
In the series of tweets, Trump was defending Sessions after the attorney general announced he would recuse himself from the investigation after it was revealed he had met with a Russian ambassador twice
After the article was published about Stone, he tweeted that he was tired of Russian ties accusations
He wasn"t forthcoming with details when asked about the investigations into any Russian meddling in the U.S. election on Thursday during a closed-door meeting in Congress, the leading Democrat on the House intelligence committee said.
"At this point we know less than a fraction of what the FBI knows," U.S. Representative Adam Schiff told reporters after Comey briefed the Republican-led committee.
The White House has dismissed the controversy, several times, over ties to Russia as a scam perpetrated by sore losing Democrats. Moscow has also denied the claims.
John Ross knew he was capable of a fast 40-yard dash time at the NFL combine, but the fastest ever? The wide receiver out of Washington said Friday he was going to give it a shot.
Im going to try, Ross said, per the Seattle Times. I dont want to say too much, [that] Im just everything. But Im definitely going to try. Im definitely going to go for it.
And on Saturday he went out and did it, running the 40 in 4.22 seconds to break the combine record of 4.24 set by Cardinals running back Chris Johnson in 2008.
There was a little bit of debate about his exact time.
But its going to go down as the official record.
And there probably have been similarly fast times, just not at the combine.
The quick pace most likely erased any lingering doubts about his surgically repaired right knee. ross, whose previous best 40 time was 4.25, missed the entire 2015 season with a torn ACL but returned in 2016 and had 81 catches for 1,150 yards and 17 touchdowns (only Louisiana Techs Carlos Henderson and Western Michigans Corey Davis had more). Plus, Ross told the NFL Network that he was fighting off cramps before the run.
If only he had been wearing Adidas. The shoe company promised either an island or a million dollars to anyone wearing its shoes who broke Johnsons 40 record at the combine. Alas, Ross was wearing Nike.
The former combine record holder noticed Rosss accomplishment on Twitter.
