I have to wonder why people watch some of the garbage that is on TV right now, and not watch quality shows such as Journeyman. Lets hope that NBC reads this blog and considers bringing the show back. Peace. I really enjoyed this show and was sad to see it cancelled. I have to wonder why people watch some of the garbage that is on TV right now, and not watch quality shows such as Journeyman.

Except it wasn't quite as Sci-Fi as that show. But it took me back to the story lines of Sam Beccket. They should have had him Say "Oh Boy" in an episode. I still havn't seen them all. Maybe he did.

That show came closer than anything I've ever seen to capturing the spirit and camraderie of Classic Star Trek. Vic I’m a HUGE SG-1 fan, at least up to the end of Season 9.

It really built up a large fanbase in its short run. NBC I'm sure realises this. If all the fans of that show write and email NBC it could come back. ^ Sorry Andy I've never liked stargate. The film was ok, but to then start up a tv version starring McGyver. No thanks! And then Sci-fi channel cancels Farscape in favor of Stargate!! That was the single moment when I resented stargate and especally the sci-fi channel. ^ I'm a sci-fi uber geek, yet I HATE sci-fi channel. Whoever runs that channel can bite me!

Put it online so people can watch it if they want. I just think the lineup would be stronger if it went: Dr. Who, Journeyman and Stargate Atlantis. If they sandwich Journeyman between those 2 staples, it would get the recognition it deserves.

When I finally started to REALLY get into it, they cancel it. Figures. Here's a thought: Since the SciFi channel has a brand new head honcho, maybe we'll be seeing this on SciFi Fridays in the fall instead of reruns of Stargate Atlantis?? I mean, if Flash Gordon is STILL on, Journeyman DESERVES to be on!!! I just got to reading on this thread and I agree that Journeyman was a very underrated show!!

And it had the most perfect ending I've ever seen for a television season (or series), especially one that definitely shouldn't end now or anytime in the next five years. I'm certainly going to continue the fight, Rice-A-Roni, snail mail and all. I won't let the one best show I've seen in years go without it.

Wow, just think of how many would have "stayed gone" if high speed Internet was available. You really know how to turn a phrase buddy. I even understood some of them. Not sure about the rice-a-roni comment--unless it has to do with running out of groceries in the cupboard? PS Sticking with Journeyman was no problem at all. It's Heroes that took amazing willpower. 10% of the 1988 viewers never came back? Wow, just think of how many would have “stayed gone” if high speed Internet was available.

What it kind of hinges on is the writer's strike and what happens with that. If the writer's come back to work in a month (who knows at this point) the writers would most likely fulfill the order for three more scripts (made in October). If nothing else were to happen with the show then what could happen is then they could put those scripts on the DVD for us to read, which I think would be ultra cool and smart. It would be easy to do and not cost the studios anything more. From there it entirely is a cost issue. Knowing that Kevin Falls put forth a classy series, I would expect a classy effort from him, such as a director's commentary. In that case, I would be forced into buying a big screen TV and a HD player as that would be irresistable. Another ultra cool feature would be if they somehow "storyboarded" the three unmade episodes, but I would understand if they were not there and would be happy with just the scripts. The gag reel might be kinda nice touch though. If the writers and studios went for the 'scortched earth scenario' and things got really rotten and the strike was not settled in a month, things would get *really* interesting for Journeyman. Because then other networks would start salivating at Journeyman, because they know that the viewers that *did* watch Journeyman are hardcore because they went to all the trouble to find out when the episodes would air and mail rice. So those other lesser networks would see that they would probably get the same ratings it has now, which is 4 million viewers. Even though it's not CSI ratings, 4 million viewers is 4 million viewers. Eureka on scifi (which has been renewed) gets 2.5 million viewers. And remember, Jag started on one network, was cancelled, but made a home on another network. as did Stargate. So it's not beyond the realm of possibility. Kinda like finding Spock's brain. If the strike drags on, I think you will see people turn off their TV sets in January and take up bowling. I know I will. There are a zillion other things to take up my time. Like what I'm doing now. The networks should *really* be afraid of that. That's what happened with the strike in '88, and 10% of viewers _never ever came back_. I enjoy the occasional gameshow, but not 24x7 all channels. But I digress. If they settle the strike next June, I suspect that the network execs will look longingly at the few boxes of rice-a-roni hanging around the offices and truly think twice. So, it really depends on what the writers do to see what we will get and when. In the end, I'm really grateful that I stayed on and watched the show instead of getting cold feet like everyone else. But Journeyman spoiled me as to how good TV can be, and that now kinda makes me see it as the butterfly that was in a roach motel. Jim;
