Well, sadly, I'm too late. Another great show has bit the dust, with no apparent hope of revival.

Journeyman is/was a great sci-fi/time travel show with, more importantly, wonderful family interactions that were screaming to be explored. Relationships between Dan and his wife Katie were beautifully acted and filmed. The initial disbelief followed by acceptance that Katie showed gave me faith that exceptionally strained relationships can work, if people believe in each other and really, truly love each other. I saw it here.

One might draw a sililarity between Journeyman and another GREAT show, QUANTUM LEAP. Yep, hooked there as well.

I'm not the media's example of a geek: living in my parents basement, eating twinkies and longing for space travel. Geez, I hate that. I'm a professional person, involved in healthcare who hates sports and loves a good drama or comedy (without fart jokes). The term "reality tv" couldn't be further from the truth. A good/great sci-fi show challenges the mind and allows for fantasy... which allows one to dream! Love it.

I watched the last episode of Journeyman last night and have to credit the writers with a decent ending to a show that could have run 200 episodes. After 14, we cared a lot about the characters, but felt that they would be okay even without us being able to share their adventures with them

I shall miss this show!

You're right, Quantum Leap was a good show! I used to love that show. And now we have nothing... (insert sad look)... Journeyman will truly be missed by me, and, judging from the fact that ALL 12 reviewers gave it 5 stars, by... at least.... 11 other people
