If you had a time machine - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

If you had a time machine, where would you go and what would you do?

For me:

1: I'd stop the Twin Towers disaster.

2: I'd prevent the tsunami (or at least warn everyone about it.)

3: I'd hit Mark Chapman over the head with something hard (just to knock him out) and rescue John Lennon.

4: I'd warn Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper, Ritchie Valens and pilot Roger Peterson not to board the plane on 4th February 1959.

5: I'd tell Steve Irwin to pass up swimming with the stingrays.

6: I'd go back to about October 2002 and tell Maurice Gibb to get himself checked out in a hospital for signs of a twisted intestine (he died from complications that arose from his intestine bursting.)

7: I'd go back to Jesus's time and introduce him and everyone else to TV, music from the last sixty or so years, films, books, pizza, soft drinks, and all the other great stuff we have now.

8: I'd spend some time just hanging out and having fun in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

That's a good one! Especially the pizza.

I would choose:
The 1950s. Just to walk down a 1950s city street, go into a market and maybe a school and look around. It was so much different back then that it would be interesting. I would also have to watch one of those '50s street races.

The Old West, circa 1880. Again, I would walk around in an actual western town (no particular town, maybe Dodge City, Deadwood or Tombstone), and see how it was really like. Also walk into a real 1880s saloon. I can do what "Marty" did in "Back to the Future" and say my name is "Clint Eastwood."

April, 1969, to watch my Cadillac being built.

1865, to prevent the Lincoln assassination.

I'd go back to the Roaring Twenties for a bit.

Just this summer, I was thinking how awesome it would be if I could go back in time. The first thing I would do would probably be to warn Selena and Judith Barsi of their untimely demises. Then I'd probably go back a few years and take the chances that I never took, something I've always regretted. Then I'd just chill in the late '70s (and meet Leif Garrett when he was hot, haha) and then the '80s, because I am fascinated by '80s culture (probably because I remember so little of it).

I would like to go back into the early 1970's. I always hear from older people that those were fun years.

Already Gone · 10-11-2006, 06:43 PM

I'd go back to 1969 and watch the moon landing on TV.

Then, i'd go to July 4th 1976 to celebrate the bicentennial.

I'd go to the late 80's and tape all episodes of It's a Living and bring them back to the present.

Then, i'd go to November 29, 1977, for my parents wedding anniversary party. It would be fun to be there as an adult.

Janice · 10-11-2006, 07:30 PM

I'd like to go back to the mid-80s. I was recently married, my loved ones were alive. Life was less complicated back then.

Jrnygrl · 10-11-2006, 07:34 PM

I would go back to Aug. 8, 1993 and stop my sister from marrying the jerk she married.

Steve M. · 10-11-2006, 08:07 PM

I'd stop the John Lennon assassination, the King, JFK and RFK assassinations, and stop the Twin Towers from being built and Amtrak from being destroyed.

I'd go back to Detroit in 1979 and convince Madonna to become an interior decorator.

I'd go back to Indiana in 1967 and convince Dan Quayle to become a golf pro and not get sidetracked into a useless desk job.

I'd kill Hitler.

Number 9 Dream · 10-11-2006, 08:08 PM

Same here. Actually, I've been asked this question before and I always give this answer: I'd want to go back to 1964 as a pre-teen (say, maybe 11 or 12?) so I could witness the Beatles land in America (and be a part of the whole Beatlemania craze), and then 'grow up' in to my early-mid 20's in the 70's.

Then again, I might like to take a visit to the 50's as well

I sure wish that happened!

tdf4077 · 10-11-2006, 11:17 PM

I vote to go back to November 22, 1963 and warn JFK to avoid Dallas that day.

I'd otherwise love to spend time as a teen in the '50's!

I'd go back to the late 60s/early 70s, head to Hollywood, and just soak it all up. And watch a LOT of TV.

And if we're all going to warn people of their future demise, I'd go tell Bill Bixby to go see a doctor in, oh, 1989 or 90. Early than 1991 anyway.

Steve M. · 10-12-2006, 09:55 AM

I'd go back to the early sixties as well, and warn the bosses at Studebaker to watch their backs to keep them from going out of business. They made some really nice cars.
