I managed to watch all 30 episodes of The Time Tunnel this year. I didn't make it to the bonus features on the BR set - a couple of movies, half-baked pilot for a relaunch, or interviews/etc. but the episodes were enough. My wife even joined me for a few - quite a surprise as she doesn't like SF at al - and seemed to enjoy them for what they are. She even seemed to enjoy the few bits of trivia I told her about the series. I really like how the last episode's cliff-hanger is for episode 1 making the entire series a huge "Grounhog Day" kind of loop.

I just finished watching The Tomorrow War on Amazon Prime. I really liked it. There's a lot of action (double count), an interesting story, and good use of time travel. It is a long movie (over two hours) but if you have the time you might check it out.
Trevor, sorry you're not able to enjoy the challenge this year but I appreciate that you were able to get the ball rolling. I didn't realize this was a leap year either until I saw the posts for this challenge.

This was a fun challenge anyway Trevor. Thanks for running it. Only got a few viewings in, but at least I got Wild West Rangers from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in. One of my main goals.

Just had fun going thru all four of these Challenge threads. Nice to see so many of us still here these dozen years later, but sad to see the missing members and the overall much decreased traffic on the forum. I occasionally get distracted by other things and don’t check dvdtalk for a week or even couple months once or twice, but overall I’m here almost daily for 25 years now, and you all are like family.
I bought the DVD sets probably due to your posts about the series over the years, but based on my posts here, looks like I haven’t even opened them yet! Next time, I’ll make sure I’m off work and marathon them.

I think I’m done for now. I at least got an even 5 this afternoon with ‘GI Joe And The Golden Fleece’ , in which mid battle, GI Joe and Cobra forces got sent back to Ancient Greece. The Greeks thought Lifeline was Aescalapius (sp), Sgt Slaughter was Heracles, and Cobra forces in their CLAWs were Harpies.

I'd hoped to do more on my first Leap Day Challenge, but life had other plans. Anyways, I did get to a few things:
Modern Family "Leap Day"
Frasier "Look Before You Leap"
The X-Files "Monday"
Futurama "The Why of Fry"
The X-Files "Triangle"
The X-Files "Synchrony"
The first episode of Kim's Convenience was listed (somwhere) as Leap Year-themed, but that didn't sound right. Sure enough, it was just a single reference to Leap Day. Oh well. It had been forever since I watched X-Files, and was reminded how fun that show was (for a while, at least). A rewatch may be in order.
Thanks, Trevor, for running this...see y'all in four!
