Journeyman - Worth the time investment.
Journeyman was a well-thought out concept but unfortunately took time to build. Each week the characters grew in depth and the storyline demonstrated an unexpected, but much appreciated, complexity. The creative minds behind the show seemed to actually consider, what would happen to a person's everyday life if something trully unusual was to happen to them. It is not surprising that in the current climate and with a writer's strike, the show was not given time the find a solid, core audience. The show is most definitely worth the time investment. I found myself going from blase about watching it, to fully invested. An added plus, is that although the show does not come to a definitive conclusion, it leaves off at a point which is satisfying rather than with a frustrating cliff-hanger.

Journeyman Come Back
Finally! A show on commercial tv that I looked forward to watching. I planned my week around Monday night. Yes, Journeyman was on the order of Quantum Leap, probably a lot like New Amsterdam, which will start soon. But it was sci-fi at its best, and it didnt seem like sci-fi. Anyone that saw it liked it. It was plausible. It could really happen. Maybe it really is happening.

A man who went back in time with a specific job to do. A woman from the past going to the future to help with the job. There was a connection between them. Yet they weren't meant to be together as a couple. They had a job to do that would generally atone for the mistakes of fate. We were just learning about it. There was so much more I wanted to know.

And the side stories were appropriate, interesting and weren't just filler. The characters grew quickly. I liked them, ALL of them. (Well, maybe not the now-dead detective.) It was well written. The characters had depth and maybe that's why I liked them.

The show just snuck up on you and bang, you were hooked. And bang, NBC took it off the air. I heard BBC tv was going to pick up the 13 episodes. Maybe the Sci-Fi channel will resurrect it. If it does, I'll be there. When the DVD comes out, I'll be there. And as far as commercial tv? Cable. I'll be there.

Without a doubt, one of the best scifi shows of all times.
In September of 2007, NBC came out with a show that completely blew me away, that show was called "Journeyman." I fell in love with the storyline and the creative build up of each character that strongly presented the importance of each character in the show. In case you recall the show Quantum Leap from the early 90's, it is based along those same lines, but nowhere near as simple and hokey as Quantum Leap. Journeyman is complex & dark, it makes you think and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. Journeyman has much better writing, acting and an attractive & romantic dark mystery to the overall life of the story.

Unfortunately, your average American TV viewer does not like to think and would rather see some idiot win a date with some hired "B" class actress on some stupid reality show, than watch a show that makes your brain work; so the ratings were low and NBC dropped the show after its first season.

Overall, Journeyman is one of tbe BEST scifi shows of all times.
