Candorville: 1/1/2008- Journeyman Canceled

Spread the love

Journeyman fans: Buy a print of today’s strip! Choose your size, paper, and frame, and customize it here.•••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.

    Nothing in the world is permanent, and we’re foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we’re still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it. If change is of the essence of existence one would have thought it only sensible to make it the premise of our philosophy.

    Oh, good. I thought it was my fault. I too am a show killer. I killed Invasion and The Nine. I thought I killed JM. I too will quit watching if they bring it back. But I will record it….THEN watch it.

    UPDATE: For those of you interested, there are various campaigns underway to save the show “Journeyman.” As I told Buckaroo, don’t give up hope. “Jericho” was brought back after a similar effort by viewers. Also, with the writers’ strike, new pilots and shows for the fall season are not being developed. That means NBC will have a hole in their schedule to fill with no new shows available.

    Anyway, here are those sites:

    Good luck!

    Could not have said it better. So yes for the thousands of fans that want this show back on the air please stop watching it so we can enjoy it, while you are at it can you please start watching Dancing with the Stars, American Idol, The Office, and anything on ABC?

So please go to the save Journeyman websites and join the fight to save this amazing show. Lets save Journeyman!
