Save Journeyman

One more post on Journeyman, and then I'll change the subject, I promise.

This show is on the cancellation bubble. The consensus on the various Internet discussion boards is that there are two reasons for the show's difficulty:

1. NBC scheduled the show badly. It's on, Mondays at 10 p.m., opposite CSI:Miami. Jerry Bruckheimer's CSI franchise cannot be stopped.
2. NBC failed to promote the show adequately. The network ran endless promotional spots for other shows - Bionic Woman being a glaring example - and very few for Journeyman. The few that they ran did very little to reveal the true nature of the show. It sounded like a hokey Quantum Leap ripoff, which it isn't. They share a time travel premise, and that's it.

This show is too good to let die, especially in the middle of a season. The latest news, as reported by Ain't It Cool News, is that NBC is going to air all completed-to-date episodes of the series after all. This amounts to three more episodes.

In order to keep the show on, fan action will be the key. This has worked in the past for other shows.

Send an email, fax, or phone call to NBC telling them you enjoy the show and would be disappointed to see it cancelled. Feel free to copy and paste the suggested text below, or use your own words. Whatever works for you.

Dear Ms. Park,

I'm contacting you to express support for my favorite NBC show, Journeyman.

Journeyman is a quality show that has developed well-fleshed out characters that emotionally resonate. Because the emotions portrayed on the show are so real, identifiable and emotionally accessible, it makes suspension of disbelief all-encompassing when it comes to Dan's time-travel adventures. The only real problem I can identify with Journeyman is the lack of promotion by NBC.

My husband and I both watch Journeyman and enjoy it immensely. We would both be very upset if Journeyman were canceled. I am a xx-year-old female, my husband is a xx-year-old male, and we watch every episode of Journeyman.

Please do what you can to save the best show on NBC, Journeyman.

Thank you for your consideration.

Best regards,
