    Fantastic show. I gave it a try because of McGibbs, and veterans of The West Wing, of course, but the show itself is quite interesting. You're always wondering why he is where he is, and they deliver the answer satisfyingly. Love the cinematography and direction as well. Beautiful shots.

    Best show of the season. Well written; great acting; awesome thought provoking episodes including love, family, science, intrigue, suspense, history, romance, car chases, (actual) cliff hangers, time travel and changing history for the better all rolled up in one hour show that gets better and better each week. A great show for the entire family!

    Reminds of The Time Traveler's Wife re jigged for TV. The smart script plays well off the emotional baggage and history of the 'present day' set of characters. Great stuff.

    Great show. Excellent choice I think in casting Kevin McKidd. He really has the intensity to hold the show and keep you caring through an essentially fanciful plot. Definitely think this is the best of the fall and I hope it lasts.

    I do not understand how the Chicago Tribune can give this a 30/100. That is insane. Whoever filled out that review is getting paid by a competitor network to bash this show.

Don't let it be like The Drive that got canceled after 6 episodes. And please don't let it be a gem that gets canned after 1 season like Freaks and Geeks. Anyways, go to nbc.com and watch the episode online for free uninterrupted and without commercials. I am really excited about this show. I am also a huge fan of Quantum Leap and Back to the Future so stop comparing them and go into it thinking... How does this guy actually time travel. THIS is the big question of the show. With Sam it was Ziggy and with Marty McFly it was the DOC. But with Dan, I'm still stumped and I think they are gonna keep this puzzle a secret at least until they get canceled.… Expand

    I was cracking Quantum Leap jokes about this show before it debuted, but after sitting down and watching the start of the premiere, I got into it.

    Good and a good draw from the Heroes audience already in a world where the supernatural is all part of the normal plot. As long as there is a good longer plot versus the story of the week it can retain audiences and be enjoyable

    One of my top two new shows for the season. (The other being Reaper.) Like others, I loved Quatum Leap in its day. But I consider Journeyman to be a worthy, modern-day heir. It has multiple and more complex story arcs, plus a more realistic-feeling (as much as it can be) premise. No offense Ziggy.

    My reaction to reading the premise of this new show was "This one won't last four episodes." I hope I am proven wrong. I really like Kevin McKidd and Gretchen Egolf. Moon Bloodgood is pleasant, but I think she should've stayed away from "Daybreak II". I think the premise is better and less important (from a detail standpoint) than it was in Daybreak.

    This show deserves re-reviews from every critic. The show has improved and built upon its foundation with every new episode. They based their ratings on the first 2 episodes, which just goes to show the disgustingly impatient nature of our society. Journeyman has developed its characters and story in a manner that rivals Battlestar Galactica and dare I say, The Wire.

The fact that how the time travel occurs is left a mystery to the characters and the audience makes the show intriguing.

    Journeyman was by far the best show of the season and it only got better as time went on. Journeyman is a show that you couldn't wait to see and wouldn't dare get up from your seat while it is on for fear of missing something. Journeyman put you on the edge of your seat from day one, wondering what just happened and wondering what will happen next.

    There is very little i don't like about this show. Bloodgood is hot, and she has great chemistry with Mckidd. The show is half way into its first arc and I have high hopes for a awesome payoff. that is if the writers get their due and come back to work.

    It's my favorite show. I have heard it compared to Q-Leap. OK, same basic premise but script and casting of Journeyman is about 10 grade levels above Q-leap. I really look forward to it on Monday's but 10PM timeslot is tough for me. Although I have not missed an episode and don't plan on it.

    What's not to like? Perhaps the critics should have watched more than just the first 10 minutes

    Enjoy this new series very much, it's too bad NBC is not giving us more shows like this. I'm afraid CBS,TNT,FOX, and USA are winning the rating wars these days.

    I love this show! I really hope it doesn't get canceled. It is by far my favorite new show of the season.

    One issue with the show is that it requires an attention span to watch it - thank goodness that this isn't yet another mindless procedural. Great show that forces you to think and pay attention, and doesn't dumb itself down to the audience. It continues to get better with each episode. NBC has no foresight if it doesn't renew this winner.

    This show is just amazing... the storyline is tense, captivating, and well written. The acting is grade-A, top-notch, even if it doesn't include any "big" name actors & actresses. That just means that you don't go into the show with any pre-conceived notions... please NBC... PLEASE pick this up for a full season!

    I love this show because it doesn't insult the viewers intelligence. We aren't given the whole story right away, questions are left unanswered, and you honestly don't know which direction a character is heading. Time travel is a great subject, and unwitting time travel is even more interesting... I love how it addresses how this time traveling is effecting his family, his I love this show because it doesn't insult the viewers intelligence.

    Amazing. Intelligent. Well acted. Years have passed since a serie have hooked me up so good... The only downside is maybe it won't last too long because isn't mainstream kind... you have to have brains to enjoy it ;-)

    The opening episode is a little slow with some major logic gaps but the actors are appealing and there is potential. Will it last long enough to prosper? I hope so, but I think not.

    Its boring plotline along with such a weak premise makes it some of the most disappointing shows of the fall season. Not the worst, but I would have expected it to be much much better. The ideas are very unoriginal and you know that there must be better time-travelers elsewhere. The ideas are weak and dull.

    NBC are masters of canceling the great shows. They give very little publicity and then wonder why it has poor ratings. It was a great show ---- Think outside the box NBC we don't need more reality shows!!!!!

    Journeyman was one of the best shows I had seen in a LONG time. I was glued to the TV whenever it aired, no other TV show has captivated me the way Journeyman did.

    Amazing show, started off not to well but it picked up big time, keeps me on the edge of my seat nearly every episode. I rarely add a new show to my small list, but after watching one episode, it was just to compelling.

    I just finished watching this season for the first time. What a magnificent TV show. Heart warming, thought provoking, and beautifully immersive. The user score speaks for itself, 9.2 (161 ratings). In a perfect world this would have been at least two seasons. Absolutely worth a watch if you haven't seen it already. If you liked Journeyman you may also enjoy the TV show Rubicon.

    This new NBC time-travel drama is fairly mind-blowing and harrowing, laying out a preposterous scenario that it makes feel nonetheless believable.

    Journeyman is an enjoyable romp--one that provides the accessibility of a procedural as well as the continuing mystery of "Lost" or "Heroes." [28 Sep 2007, p.94]

    Everything about this time-traveling drama seems rote and stale. The show is a pallid, uninspired execution of ideas we've seen done better elsewhere.
