NBC’s JOURNEYMAN cancelled

JOURNEYMAN - Moon Bloodgood as Livia Beale and Kevin McKidd as Dan Vassar

Update: Check out this report on why Journeyman got cancelled.

E!Online has announced the dreadful news today, JOURNEYMAN is cancelled.

It might not have appealed to a lot of people, but I really enjoyed Journeyman and thought it was a quality TV show. All we can hope for now is that NBC airs the final two episodes as scheduled December 17 and 19.

    I have to admit I’m upset finding out now that NBC canceled Journeyman. This is the first time I watched anything on NBC since Seinfeld. I’m in agreement with others. If anything NBC should bring it back for at least its final two episodes or at least release season one on DVD. I really hope NBC does something!

  • Greg C

    Journeyman was by far one of the best show/drama on television. In my opinion, one of the best shows aired on NBC and it was the only show I watched on NBC. Why are they airing garbage like Knight Ridder or American Gladiator?

    I hope NBC will release the last two episode on-line. Rather I hope another network picks it up and it becomes a success.

  • Julian

    Yes, this is a great show. I hope NBC will reconsider on canceling the show.

  • Ann

    Journeyman was one of the best shows this last season. Networks choose to leave shows on that are rediculous. Too man y reality shows, too many talk shows. NBC you had a good thing going why did you blow it? Please bring it back.

  • chuck

    NBC has the most left winged news reporting on network tv and the only shows worth watching is Heros and was Journeyman. If reality shows are the only shows you people can come up with. God help anybody with an inagination!

  • andy ruff

    Cancelled you have got to be shitting me!!! Hey NBC you think shows like Amercian Gladiators and my dad is better then your dad is better than Journeyman, if so you have to be menally challenged.
    Every Monday i would wake up and say ah crap it’s monday another 5 days till saturday, then i would think wait a minute Journeyman on tonight. If this show gets cancelled i will program my tv to skip ever freaking nbc channel and every channel remotely related to nbc in any way so help me god.

    All i can say is whoever makes the decisions over at NBC has got to ride the short bus to work everyday.

    SAVE JOURNEYMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • mike

  • Brandy

I JUST FOUND OUT AND ALL I WANTED TO KNOW WAS WHEN THE SECOND SEASON WAS COMING. BUT NO ITS CANCELLED?!?!?! THERE IS BARELY ANYTHING WORTH WATCHING ON MONDAYS AND THE REST OF THE WEEK!!! WHY?!?1 ITS HELL!!!

  • DO

    It is so annoying that they cancel shows that really spark your imagination like Journeyman and that the Sarah Conner Chronicals are still on the air. BRING BACK JOURNEYMAN please!

  • Bill

    Ok i Finally finished the season (DVR). And now I see it’s been canceled!!!!!! What the Hell…. My wife and I really like this show. I am so sick of reality tv and watching shows with has been actors. So NBC whats the deal with this? Another good show gone to waste!!! This sucks!!!!

  • Dave

    Say it ain’t so…

    My husband and I are so upset that Journeyman has been cancelled. It was definitely THE best new show on t.v. We made it a point to catch every episode. I can’t believe NBC would do this.

  • Grant

    So disappointed this show is cancelled. I rarely watch the tube, and am so, so tired of reality TV. This one was a must-see every time it was on. NBC should re-think this decision.

  • John

    I can’t believe they would cancel Journeyman. I was looking forward to the new shows. Who makes these decisions?

  • casey swader

    I can’t believe that Journeyman is canceled…It’s going to get to the point there’s nothing on but game shows and reality tv… next to Heroes and Medium this was the best show Primetime had to offer…and now..for what…we settle for shows like ‘Lipstick Mafia” and etc. BRING IT BACK!!!! The cast was great…the story line was even better!!!!! Will I have to “travel back in time” to catch an episode??

  • Walter

    I truly enjoyed Journeyman. As usual NBC does not seem to appreciate quality programs. A year or so ago they had another excellent show, “Black Donnelly’s”. It was cancelled rather quickly also. Hopefully a cable station will pick Journeyman up. I only watch 2 shows on NBC Journeyman and Life. Now it’s down to 1! Before this season it was 0! Perhaps we could start a campaign similar to the one that saved Jericho (another favorite of mine).

  • Bianca

    We are very disappointed that Journeyman will not be coming back. It was one TV show that we anticipated every week. If we were not able to watch it air we dvr’d it. It is a shame to stop such a great show so abruptly We loved how there was always something new to learn about the characters as the show played out. We wish nbc would reconsider.

  • Sarah

    I can’t believe this!! I loved this show!!They just had to cancel it right after it started getting good!!@ first i didn’t care for it…But after they explained who olivia was…i really liked it.Then it got better.
    Still can’t believe they cancelled it….BASTARDS!!!!!

  • Sarah

    Bring it back!!!! Please!

  • http://www.BanishtheBadMoodMomma.com Brandy

    Why is as soon as there is a GOOD show that doest make my IQ drop as I watch, gets canceled. Iove Journeyman…it almost make me forgive the drop of Pretender and the lame movies that were shoved over to TBS.
    BRING BACK JOURNEY MAN!!!!!

  • http://jillzz.biz J Woodman

    I read recently in a local TV magazine that NBC originally provided Journeyman as a filler show while the writers strike was on and wasn’t intending it to air long term… but with all the recent HOOPLA about it they’re having seconds thoughts. Could this be so??? Lets make this a reality and get more vocal. Do I hear the ‘Bring it back ‘chant?

    Let NBC know how you feel!

  • Radish

    I really liked this, how dare some pencil pusher take it off air… booooo

    i cant belive they take something this good off and then there are other programes like flash gordon that are really crap that get a whole series and will prob get another…

  • Bobby Ybarra

    This was a quality show which really out did alot of the crap they are showing on TV. I stay away from my TV just because of the crap they put on, but this show woud have me set aside whatever I had to do just to watch this show. Thanks alot jerks

  • TOST

    I have very few shows to watch these days. My wife DVR’s them while I am away at work. I am very disappointed to find out that this one was getting cancelled. I like other watchers have gottin into a series to only have the nbc brass pull the plug. What’s up take the damn reality shows and game shows and get rid of them put some quality tv back out there. Bring them back!

  • Lou

    Seriously??? Let’s get rid of all the good shows and make room for more stupid reality shows. RETARDS!!!

  • David

    I guess this is yet another reason cable networks are kicking ABC, NBC and CBS’ butts. ABC cancels Traveler after 8 shows, Journeyman is now canceled and so are many other great shows. Yet crap shows like Will and Grace stayed on for years. I guess if you don’t have people with serious emotional issues on the show it has to go. I didn’t mind Pushing Daisies but get real, that show is in no way better than many of the ones not making to season 2. These bright executives making the decisions must have been on vacation when Lost came around for renewal, otherwise we would probably never have finished season one….

  • Betsy

    PLEASE rethink this NBC!!! Bring Journeyman BACK!!! I Tivo’d it and just finished watching the last two episodes. Everytime I watched an episode I said, “this is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen”! Every episode got better and better. I just now discovered that it was canceled. Please, someone with some sense at NBC, BRING JOURNEYMAN BACK!!!! You aren’t airing anything that even comes close to the quality and entertainment of this show!!!

  • Al

    I’ve been dreading this announcement and can only assume that the networks are now being run by money-grubbing fools.

    Reality shows are easy, after all. You call for people to try out and they line up around the block to eat bugs or go on fake dates or outsmart children and all they need is a few cameramen to follow them around.

    To make a great show like Journeyman, you need the right actors, the best writer’s and a storyline that will keep us all guessing and tuning in every episode.

    Obviously, having a show of this quality is not as important as having a horde of people plotting against each other while cameras are rolling.

  • Diane

    I am so disappointed to find out that Journeyman has been cancelled. Finally a show that was creative, thought provoking and entertaining all at the same time. How do we get it back? Jericho came back can’t we make Journeyman do the same? Skip the reality, who cares, give me the essence of Journeyman any day!

    What fools made this decision? Don’t we the viewers count for anything? I am so angry about this!

  • Mike C

    This is just typical,
    they put a show on that is excellent and cancel it after the first season… “what the hell! ”

    Yet they can keep crap shows and re-runs on for years, get rid of them stupid america’s modle shows and bring back the real entertainment ie. journey man

    you guys at NBC suck

  • Jay T

    Stupid stupid stupid. They cancel a show like journeyman and keep on shows like desperate housewives. Idiotic

  • teddi

    it’s a great show and i was looking forward to their second season. BRING BACK MY SHOW PLEASE!

  • Monique Bergson

    OMG..I can’t believe the show was taken off the air..I was deffinitely looking forward to the second season..SUCH A GREAT SERIES AND A GREAT CAST..PLEASE BRING JOURNEYMAN BACK!! PLEASE..PRETTY PLEASE!! Thank you

  • Monkey

    Just like everyone else..I can’t believe a great show like journeyman is threatening to be cancelled and you keep the dumb and boring shows..PLEASE BRING BACK JOURNEYMAN..THANK YOU

  • JT

    Last season I really got into Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. This season, I was enjoying Journeyman, though not quite as much as Studio 60. NBC — You SUCK! With the exception of Heroes & ER, I intend to heed ABC’s advice, at least for Network TV, and start there.

  • Jim

    Suddenly Sussan (or as I like to call it “Suddenly Shitty”) can stay on the air for years and yet they cancel one of the best shows in a long time. Try putting on at a different time instead of just cancelling it jackass!

  • Brenda

    My husband and I had been waiting for the return of Journeyman only to find out it was cancelled. Journeyman appeals to an educated audience because of its great storyline and excellent acting. I haven’t watched much on NBS lately, but this show and Life were brinning me back. If NBC won’t pick it up, maybe a cable channel will. Please bring it back!

  • http://jillzz.biz J Woodman

    How many ‘Bring it Back(s)’ do the Network Gods have to see to realize they made a big mistake cancelling Journeyman? HELLO!!

  • A Gilbert

    If I have to watch any more reality TV, “celebrities” dancing,ice skating, or cooking, overpaid Sportstars under performing I think I may be sick!! TV network bosses cancelling the rare gems like Journeyman shows such a lack of judgement they should all be forced onto reality shows where they fight to the death!!

  • http://jillzz.biz J Woodman

    OK….NBC…Do you get it now??? The letters keep on coming. WE WANT JOURNEYMAN BACK!!!!!!!!!

  • scott

    journeyman was the best show on tv. what in the hell is wrong with those fools?

  • Russ

    This is why NBC is losing money! Even Heroes is getting pretty old. Dang, I liked Journeyman!

  • Sci Fi Fan

    True science fiction which has long dotted the landscape of Hollywood for decades seems to have gone the way of the Dinosaur.

    All the Star Trek series are history. Now Jericho has been axed followed by Journeyman. The Bionic woman show wasn’t all that great to begin with, I can see why it was canceled.

    Hollywood executives seems to be severely lacking in imagination these days.

    I for one have all but given up on network television.

    At least we have the Sci Fi channel bringing us new B-movies every weekend.

  • jane

    Why do they always cancel the good ones! I love JourneyMan. I want it back!

  • Sphinx

    I can’t believe this! Or maybe I can, since this is NBC we’re talking about. Still, it doesn’t make it any less frustrating. I hate to see a good quality show that actually has substance not given the chance to succeed. This show could have gone far. It had so much potential.

    I hope SciFi or Fox or some other network will pick it up and turn it into a huge hit. That will serve NBC right…

  • Charlie Ortiz

    Just as NBC chooses what programs they ai
    r. So do we, the viewers. That is why more and more people turn to FOX! They seemed to be more in touch with what the younger generation would prefer to see. Its funny that I had to go on to your official web site, while trying to find out when the show would be back on the air, in order to find out that the show was canceled. It was an intriguing show that had us glued to the set each week as a family. Maybe you’re ARE targeting the older viewing population for your programming due to sponsors. But don’t forget that some day the younger viewing audience becomes that very audience. My advice, does lose touch with the younger generation. Now we’re watching a different network; FOX TV. And, no, I don’t work for FOX!

  • Cindy

    Here’s two points one for me and one for my boyfriend. We would specifically get together to watch journeyman together. It was so unique! All NBC has to do is ADVERTISE it more because when we both started to watch it we had heard nothing about it! It is such a good show!! NBC bring it back!!!

  • Angie

    I don’t have cable, so I rely heavily on the few channels I have. But since the writer’s strike, I have watched more PBS than ever. Journeyman was a very well written, well-acted sci-fi show. If my husband and I (both in our 40′s) couldn’t watch it, we taped it. Rarely do we find a show that we want to see that badly. I can’t believe they even depend on Neilson ratings anymore. Must be a newer more effective way to know who is watching what. As others who have written in, I was a fan of shows like Quantum Leap and X Files also. I HATE reality TV.
