Jim de Graff I've always enjoyed time travel shows from Time Tunnel to Quantum Leap. Seven Days has a good mix of drama, comedy and action, however, at times the writing just gets plain lazy. Take, for example, the episode, The Football. Are we to believe that the man carrying the device which must not leave the president's side could just be left behind by the president and the Secret Service? Are we also to believe that the person given the responsibility to carry that device would choose a) to take a cab and b) to walk the streets with it when the cab breaks down? Whenever Frank makes a back step, the first word out of his mouth is "conundrum". This is done to ensure the listener's complete attention and cooperation. Yet, when he tries to tell Olga about the problem he can only mutter, "you have to listen to me" while she hangs up (twice). To further insult my intelligence, a gorilla can randomly punch the keys and get lucky with the correct combination, then, when faced with global destruction, Frank chooses to woo the gorilla rather than killing it. After all, killing a gorilla to prevent the death of billions of humans (and of course, that same gorilla) would just be cruel.Let's not forget to mention that the security at this top secret location is so lax that Frank can escape armed only with a pair of bolt cutters. And why does Ramsey still consider Frank a screw-up after he has succeeded in every mission he has taken? The show is mostly entertaining but I can see why it was cancelled.

miki_lane I have more a question instead of a comment on the "Seven Days" series. I haven't watched all of the episodes so the answer to my question may have already been given out in the pilot episode. If Parker travels back in time, is there an extra Parker (in the time line) for each mission that is carried out? I mean after the first mission you will have two Parkers in the same time line? Not to mention additional time machines, Storage if the extra machines will be a problem too. You can only keep so many Parkers locked up in the mental ward...Or does he get to fly back secretly to his own time line when no one is watching. Other wise the story line is not so bad.

Tim The cast had a certain chemistry about them that worked rather well. There was a fair amount of humor to the show, but too many questions, such as one poster put forth, "when he goes back, why doesn't he see himself?"Another problem the show had was their trying to take hits at Republicans, especially George W. Bush. It then had that "oh so Canadian" feel to it. This is a problem that has plagued other shows based in Canada, John Doe recently is a good example. While a decent show, it would have it's actor make disparaging comments about the United States military.The problem of course is that the core audience of a lot of action adventure shows are males who often have been in the military. It makes no sense to alienate them, but it seems the North of the border producers, wanting to do more than produce a successful little show, try and interject their politics.

tropicthunderhead I only started watching the show when I heard Bobbie Phillips was going to be on.It was a Great episode! Some of the others were hit and misses. I was able to catch earlier episodes (from Season 1, I believe)and really enjoyed them. I recently saw the "Raven" episode again in reruns and it was REALLY good.The director of this episode was "Kenneth Johnson" who I've always been a HUGE fan of.He developed "The Hulk" for tv, "Alien Nation", "V", "The Bionic Woman"... I'm looking forward to the NEW "V"!
