As someone who already had too many shows to watch, I decided to add a few more on my schedule this fall, and I'm so happy I did because NBC's Timeless is a new favorite. I finally look forward to Mondays because I know I get to see the Time Team go back in time on anther adventure at 10 pm. So, if you haven't watched Timeless yet, here are some reasons why you should and if you have, here are five reasons why you probably do.

1. The history

You don't have to be a history buff to watch the show. I actually grew up hating history class but this show makes me love history.

It's part of why when someone asks me how Timeless was I say, "Freaking awesome."

It's cool they bring up major historical events, but it's even cooler that, in those events, we learn smaller details that we may not have known before. It also makes you realize how important history is because when history changes in the show (even if it's slight), they get back to 'our world' and things have changed. In other words, you shouldn't change history (duh).

2. Sets and wardrobe

I have to admit, I'm a sucker for some awesome costumes and extravagant sets.

Every week is a new era and that means every week we get to see period costumes that I wish I could own.

3. It's intense and action-packed

There's so much that can go wrong, so it's crucial to make sure things are done as accurately as possible.

"The present isn't perfect, but it's ours." -Lucy

Every episode has some kind of action... and it seriously stresses me out sometimes.

4. The humor

Wyatt: Okay, so you're telling me there's a new Bond movie with Sean Connery and we're in it?

Me: So, why didn't you take me with you?

Pop culture references are the best.

And you can bet there is more where that came from...

5. The Time Team

"An unlikely trio traveling through time to battle unknown criminals in order to protect history as we know it."

Another thing I love is that each character has their own battles they're going through. They each have their own storylines and it's cool how they infuse themselves in the history they time travel to.

Lucy Preston - The historian

Abigail Spencer, I am jealous of the amazing clothes you get to wear.

Wyatt Logan - The soldier

Matt Lanter, I have missed seeing you on my TV screen.

Rufus Carlin - The scientist

Malcolm Barrett, I am so excited to finally meet you. You've done a lot of work but I had yet to see any of it until now.

This is the Time Team, and they're freaking awesome.

With wonderful actors and great writing that keeps you guessing, why wouldn't you want to spend your Monday nights with the Time Team.

So, you ready to watch Timeless yet?
