If Lemont knew the whole story, he’d probably quit the strip. I know he wouldn’t want to work with me ever again.The truth is: I killed Journeyman. I’ve concluded that’s the only logical explanation. Nearly every show I love ends up canceled by the end of its first season. “Space, Above and Beyond,” “Firefly,” “Odyssey 5,” etc. The television landscape is littered with the corpses of Shows Darrin Loved.According to someone close to production who e-mailed me today, “Journeyman” isn’t dead yet. It’s sitting frozen in the driver’s seat of an RV that’s dangling over a cliff, and NBC hasn’t decided whether to save it or let it plunge to an early death. Maybe if I apologize for admiring the show’s sophisticated writing, its surprisingly (for network TV) moving acting, and the sense that it’s all leading to something big — maybe if I promise not to watch it anymore — NBC will save Journeyman. After all, broadcast TV is filled with shows I would never watch, and I’m sure you’d agree that it’s no coincidence those shows are successful.Maybe you never tried Journeyman, or maybe you gave the first couple episodes a try and thought it wasn’t going anywhere. If you thought Journeyman started slowly, or you missed the last couple episodes, watch them right here, right now. And then tell me you wouldn’t like to see where the next few seasons might have taken us.Or better yet, tell NBC.
