Sigh-Fi

There was a not great scifi show about time travel called seven days. They had a alien time machine that could go back in time seven days. Three trick was you had to pilot it as time went backwards chasing the earth.

The main character would often crash somewhere and have to call in to get picked up after a time jump. There was a great scene where he crashed in a civil war reenactment and had a "oh shit I went back to far" moment.
