Quick recap

In 1991, after the films and in a timeline of its own, Doc lives on a Hill Valley farm with his wife, Clara, sons Jules and Verne and the dog Einstein. Marty and Jennifer drop in now and then, and so does Biff Tannen. Each episode takes the family to a different time or place, in the rebuilt DeLorean or the time locomotive. At the end of each one, the live-action Doc, played by Christopher Lloyd, does an experiment tied to the story. There are 26 episodes across two seasons, aired on CBS from 1991 to 1992.
