    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!

    Agree with the Time Traveler's Wife references, but this show is very entertaining and also reminiscent of Quantum Leap with more mystery.

    I love this show. You critics don't know what you're talking about. Yes, you have to concentrate a little on the story. That is what makes it a great show. You want to concentrate on it. I never get on-line and voice my opinion. Why not give this awesome show another chance? This comes from a 43 yr old, college educated, Journeyman fanatic.

    I'm very impressed with the show, and I'm going to stick with it. The time traveling story is always difficult, and yes there is confusion as there should be. But the show is more about people's lives, and what would you have done if you could time travel than figuring out how it works. I have missed Lucious Vorenus, so it's a treat.

    I absolutely love this show! NBC needs to listen to its viewers and ignore critics! This is a great show, and it's fun to see the relationship between Katie and Dan, and how he is still devoted to her after running into his "long lost love"

    Intriguing show that is definitely a great change of pace from the mindless reality shows we see on TV. I'm rooting for this one to make it and give us a viable sci-fi show on network television.

    This was a real emotional ride for me and the writing was brilliant. It kept me wanting more after every episode. I'm so sad that they canceled it. I was really attached to the characters in the show...

    One of the best shows ever, as far as the critics... are you serious a 52 out of 100? did they even watch the show?

    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 cast has great chemistry together. I'm a big Heroes fan but I think this show is even more interesting than Heroes is. (Mckidd) as Dan is amazing, just love him.

    10 + The critics must want dull boring shows. This is the best show I've watched in many years.. I can wait for Mondays. The Actors are excellent. Kevin McKidd makes the show.. Even Charles Henry Wyson is doing a fab job in this role. Moon is ok.. Maybe her subtle ways add to the drama?? Gretchen is terrific. It keeps me wondering what's going to happen? Will he end up working 10 + The critics must want dull boring shows. This is the best show I've watched in many years.. I can wait for Mondays. The Actors are excellent. Kevin McKidd makes the show..

    The critics who count Journeyman as confusing ain't so bright. This is our family's favorite. We hope it stays around for a long time.

    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.
