Real time travel would be bad (aside from physics saying no). Even going back a couple of hundred years would be nigh on impossible, say to Shakespeare's time to catch a play. You and he could just about have a conversation, but neither of you could speak each other's language. For an idea of just how difficult it would be to fit in to times past I recommend Ruth Goodman's How to Behave Badly in Renaissance Britain for an idea of what a cultural minefield you would be stepping into, and that's only a couple of hundered years ago. The further back you go the harder it would be, and going back to medieval times you'd have to find a way to explain why the gang can now all speak Latin and Middle English (with the correct pronunciations of course), have all the correct manners...
In other words it would be a complete killer to the show, plus be incredably difficult for the show writers to research. And it would annoy a lot of the audience as all their pop-culture conceptions about those times would be ruined.
