Journeyman - slight spoilers

[moyer777]

Advertisers don't pay for DVR viewing or downloads. They pay for people to watch their commercials during a show. If people are skiping the commericials thanks to Tivo, it does not benefit the advertisers and thus the numbers don't add to the profit of the show or the bottom line.

yes, nicely said.  That is exactly why.  Too bad though.

 I had a feeling it was along those lines but I wanted to verify. It's kind of a shame though.  I guess I understand the logic now I was just hopin for more than:

"Screw entertaining and well-written, I wanna make sure Joe Six-Pack sees my Levitr-iagr-alis  and Conglomohuge Corp. commercials 2 more times than the 10 times he has already seen it today."

Oh well, it is what it is.

That is to bad it will end, but at least somethings will be answered. I like how each week things in Dan's life get more and more complicated, and how things he did in the past effect hwat happens to him in the future. The last few episodes were pretty good in getting the message across about how he cannot stray off his mission, as it can effect the timeline for him in the present.
To bad this will not last, as I felt it was delivering a lot, and they could take this story a long way.

 "Journeyman" Will Get Its 12 Episodes

Written by: Michael Hickerson (SoSF Staff Journalist)

The good news is NBC has decided to go ahead and air the last two produced episodes of "Journeyman." There was some speculation and worry among fans and the show's creator, Kevin Falls, that NBC might pull the plug on the series early, leaving the last two completed installments hanging, possibly to never see the light of day (well, at least until the eventual DVD release). However, strong support by the on-line fan community has been heard and NBC will show these two episodes. However, fans may need to adjust their recording devices. The first half of this two-part episode airs on Monday, December 17th at 10 p.m. EST. The follow-up installment airs on Wednesday, December 19th at 10 p.m. EST.

This two-part story promises to provide answers to some of the series lingering questions and some resolution to the on-going plotlines. Series creator Kevin Falls says the two-parter could serve as a season finale, should the Peacock network not choose to pick up the series for a full season.

"There's still no news on our long term future, but we can promise you this: three terrific episodes inside of ten days," said Falls. "Oh, yeah, and you'll get some answers, too."

However, Falls says that while he's encouraged that the episodes will air, he's not giving up on the series seeing a full season.

On a post at Ain't It Cool News, Falls said, "Your comments and pro-active attempts to save the show are very much appreciated by me and my fellow Executive Producer Alex Graves, Kevin McKidd and the cast, writers and crew. But more importantly, it's working."

He went on to encourage fans to "But don't rest. We need you. We want a back nine–and beyond."

Falls also asked fans to vote for the show in the People's Choice Awards voting.

Cool news.  This show deserves to continue.  It's really getting good.

[jedijeff]

That is good news that NBC will show the final two episodes. Sounds like they have heard from fans online which is promising, probably not enough to save this series, but at least we get to see all that they produced.

NBC Says Goodbye to "Journeyman"

It looks like we won't be making many more time travelling trips with Dan Vassar as NBC has let the time for renewing the series slip through their fingers, according to "The Hollywood Reporter. The decision date for a pick-up on the series was December 11, with NBC execs. making no statement about the series continuing on the network.

While it is still possible to bring the series back at some later date, as time passes those chances get much slimmer.

"Journeyman' stars "Rome" actor Kevin McKidd as a San Francisco journalist who finds himself unstuck in time. Unable to control when and where it will happen, his character finds himself revisiting different dates in his past to help others out of terrible situations. .

"Journeyman" was allowed to complete production on its first 13-episodes. The last two will air soon. We can only hope that some other network owned by NBC or others see how good this show really is and give it a second chance, however unlikely that is.

NBC is yet to announce the fate of its other new SF series the "Bionic Woman." It too slipped by the December 11 deadline for pick-up, but without any announcement one way or the other of its future on the peacock network. NBC's third new SF series "Chuck," was picked up to complete its entire first season.

Keep in mind there are still two episodes left to air.  Also, due to the writer's strike who knows what will happen come next fall.  So keep watching, this is a great show!

[jedijeff]

I agree Rico, this is a great Show, I felt the Episode on Monday was Fantastic, and is leading up to some cool things. It is a pity that NBC is letting it go, I hope either they change their mind, or this winds up somewhere else, it is to good to let go so soon.
