I loved this show when it first premiered in 2007 and after 3 episodes I lost track of it. I recently found all 13 episodes online and watched them. Journeyman pushes all the right emotional buttons and even has a conclusion you should be satisfied with. Seems they knew they were cancelled and wrapped things up, somewhat, in the final ep. This series had many more stories to tell and it is a tremendous shame it will never happen. Four or five seasons would have been perfect and we'd now be enjoying them in syndication. Journeyman will be the first thing I blurt out when getting together with friends and talking about TV and shows that were axed too, too soon. I hope you are able to find it and watch it yourself. I rarely review shows and I don't toss around "10" ratings willy nilly. Thank you for reading my thoughts on this matter.

Journeyman was one of the best new shows I've seen in a LONG while. I enjoy Chuck (from the new show crop that season), but it can't touch the quality of this show. It's an insult to the loyal fans to pull the plug on such a great show and then expect to capitalize on our loyalty by releasing it as a DVD. Don't insult us by ripping such a great plot from our very hands and then hoping to console us by taking our money on reruns.From the very beginning, I worried this would be a Quantum Leap rip off. However, they took the concept of "time travel" to a whole, new level. Kevin McKidd and his acting skills made such a fan out of me. Each week, you just wonder what's happening next while you sat on the edge of your seat. Furthermore, I loved how they teased us with clues to the answers around how his character ended up in such a "predicament." The support cast was wonderful too. It's just a shame that shows such as American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, Dancing with the Stars can last forever, yet a show like Journeyman doesn't have a chance. The time a network spends revamping TRUE classic TV such as Bionic Woman or Knight Rider, they could invest money in making a fresh new show even better. I realize it's all about the all, mighty dollar. However, I really wished they had given this one a chance and perhaps given it a better time slot so many, more people could enjoy this show.I will make one comment for the creative genius of Kevin Falls. I loved how he kept viewers in the loop of the fate of this show. I also appreciated how he and his wonderful staff gave this show a proper ending. For those of you who may have watched the CBS show, Vanished, you can understand how sad it was to watch a show with great potential go to waste when the creators realized it would be cut. They went on to kill the lead actor (the wonderful Gale Harold) in the middle of the season (OMG, can't imagine losing Kevin McKidd) and left more holes than a slice of Swiss cheese, which lends to a total lack of respect for loyal viewers. So while the show got cancelled, I am really happy they gave us a respectable ending. I've seen the opposite, and man does it hurt!Now, I am unsure who gets the money should Journeyman go to DVD, but I put my bets that NBC is in there somewhere. I simply refuse to give them one red cent. R.I.P Journeyman and Jericho...

I think this is a great show. And it comes into this without T&A, guns, or over-hyped out-of-place excitement. Journeyman is a prime example of a creative show that builds upon ideas and concepts that were established by shows before it. Tho similar to other time travel shows like Quantum Leap, what sets this series apart is that it actually takes a serious look at how being tossed around in time would effect a person's life and relationships. It is a show that feels polished, and holds a unique style to it. The concept of time travel is realistically portrayed, while the periods in time are very accurately depicted (including many nostalgic details). Everything just fits and the acting is superb. Every week this show manages to captivate me, and I really want it to stick around. Marriage is hard, especially when the totally unexpected enters into the mix. The real center of this show isn't time travel, but relationships. Each one of Dan's assignments has dealt with the central theme of broken relationships and how they affect the bigger picture; which is exactly the situation that Dan is dealing with in his own life. This show truly stands out. I can only hope that NBC knows what it has and decides to invest in it for several more seasons. As someone else here in the comments said, I think it's a classic already. But, then, what would I know-- I'm just a viewer who likes intelligent shows featuring intelligent characters trying to make do in unexpected situations.

No Spoilers Here This was a great series. All of the actors did an A+ job, every moment was driving, and also, McKidd is great. You have to see each episode to understand what's going on... considering that the end explains the beginning. It also helps to not compare this to other shows such as Quantum Leap, Sliders, or even Time Trax, being that this is a very different show. Unlike the others; this one has a guy going back in time at random for reasons always vague at first. Dan (McKidd) and his supposed diseased lover figures out each quest together while Dan continues to keep his family in one piece. Totally worth seeing!
