Anyone watching it?

I...ahem...might be in tonight's episode (or some other episode...they didn't tell us which one). For maybe half a second or so.;) Worked as an extra standing in line as a check-cashing customer back in 1997 while the lead, Kevin McKidd, has a confrontation with someone else in the line.
He was one of the leads in Rome. It was interesting watching him rehearse. And move.;D

I missed the first show of Journeyman and that was one show I had wanted to watch. I will look for it online. I always like "time travel" shows, but it seems they never go over real good. Remember "Early Edition." I have already read somewhere that they don't expect Journeyman to make it. I'm not sure how they know this so fast about some shows, but then other ones that aren't any good and get no ratings continue to stay on.

I've been watching "Journeyman" because I loved the series Rome and Kevin McKidd.  I think he does a good job with the role, but the series itself is a little blah.  It needs better writing, I think.  The most interesting aspect so far is how he meets his ex-fiancee in the past.  There's clearly a bigger picture to the whole phenomenon of their time traveling.  Who knows if we'll get the chance to find out what's behind it?  I haven't heard how the ratings are, but I doubt it's a big draw.  :-\

I like Journeyman so far. I haven't seen many episodes of it though. I keep forgetting when it comes on. I saw the one where he was going back to 1989 before the SF quake. It seemed like the time he spent in the past was kind of short, but I have always liked time travel shows. I used to really like Early Edition. Do any of you remember that one? That was where he would get the newspaper a day early and then go and try to prevent something from happening. It was the same guy who in Friday Night Lights now.

Ditto.  I loved loved loved Kevin McKidd in Rome and we fans were broken-hearted when the show - though garnering better ratings than the so-called "smash" HBO series, "Entourage" proved too expensive to continue and was cancelled after only 2 seasons.

I saw the previews for "Journeyman" and was pretty excited.  The concept is difficult though and as Meryl pointed out, the stories could use a little more pizazz, especially for a Monday night show.  I have my doubts about it lasting.
