Well, I’ve not done enough browsing my blog reader recently, because I’ve missed some posts on SaveJourneyman.net that pretty much have said the show is toast.
Not only that, but instead of trying to save the show, they are now just trying to get the DVD published! And better yet, there is an auction going for props and wardrobe from the show.
I am a member of the Journeyman page on Facebook and they posted this announcement today:
There are several of us Journeyman Fans who are working towards getting a DVD of JM from FOX. We have set up an online petition and we have a website that people can visit to get the email addresses of the executives at FOX and the snail mail address for FOX.
We all love Journeyman and are saddened at the way it was treated by NBC. We think it is still important to continue to let our voices be heard on behalf of Journeyman and for the purpose of speaking out for quality television programming.
Here is the address for the petition:

But again, I just missed this stuff. They posted on SaveJourneyman earlier this month that word came from some inside sources that it was over. And then on April 4th, the show’s creator Kevin Falls posted this:
Dear SaveJourneyman Fans–
I just wanted to thank you for your valiant effort to try to save this show. It did not go unnoticed by myself, the writers, producers and actors. I am reluctant to encourage you to lobby for a DVD given all the work you did for naught to get the show picked up for another season, but the fact that there’s a DVD of Bionic Woman and not Journeyman just doesn’t seem quite right.
Journeyman was a wonderful and rewarding experience for almost everyone associated with the show. As I said before, we tried to move you intellectually and emotionally, but in the end, you did that to us.
If you continue to demand quality television, we’ll keep trying to produce it.
Humbly yours,
Kevin Falls
Well, I’m going to miss the show for sure. It’s even more sucky as Falls points out that Bionic Women has a DVD, but nothing is planned for Journeyman.
While I know it’s all business, it sucks when Knight Rider gets a season after a dreadful pilot, and quality stuff like Journeyman gets tossed aside.
Anyways, I wanted to add to all of you…it was fun watching the show with you all and talking about it each week. Certainly was one of the highlights for me this past season. Thank you!
Bah…. what a load of crap… first the Suns lose, now this is pretty much official that Journeyman is toast, and Bionic woman gets a DVD and Journeyman doesnt?!?!?!?! Whats next, plague, locusts!?!?!?
Two words: Knight Rider
I don’t want to live in a world where a Knight Rider retread gets a slot and JM doesn’t. ooooh is that gas…where’s my lighter…
Scotty Dubs last blog post..Travel Diary; Do you know the way to San Jose? I do
In the new world of every show coming out on DVD, I can’t believe that they wouldn’t put this show out there too, especially because it received such good press.
Hold tight, you San Francisco treat lovers, your day will come.
First of all, the Suns had to lose against the mighty Spurs. Secondly, the Journeyman Fans are quitters. Thirdly, Fox sucks to put out Bionic Woman and not Journeyman.
See, Jason, now you are just speaking gibberish! First of all, the Spurs aren’t so much mighty as they are whiney! Secondly, Bionic Woman and Journeyman were both on NBC. Come on, get your stories straight!
@Scotty LOL… @Jason did I just say I aligned my summer picks to yours mostly?!?! How did I do that with the Spurs comment??? Crimany…
LOL, I think I’ve been drinking Mike’s Nyquil. Yeah, I screwed up on the network thing. My bad.
But I stand by my Spurs statement mostly on the fact that they tore up the heavily favored Suns. I kept silent this long in difference to all you Sun-lovers out there, but now that the better team has advanced I feel it is my duty to support them in words if not in actual dollars or by watching or attending games.
I would really like to say I hate the Spurs (and I do despise Bowen, Horry and Ginobili) but they were the better team.
First of all, the Spurs rule all!
I’m sad to see the show go. I knew once Jason was getting interested in it they’d cancel it, now no DVD… So sad.
Yeah the better team right up until the refs joined in this last game…
By sheer numbers, Jason, I don’t think you want to take on us Phoenicians (especially since you don’t even live in San Antonio). Plus the Cap’n himself is scary; you haven’t actually seen him – he’s got eyes like darts and … well, I’ll leave you in suspense about the rest.
To all you ladies out there what Jina is really saying is the Capn has piercing eyes that are to die for!!…
I’m not sure that’s what she was saying, Cap’n…but I’m definitely in suspense about the rest.
I’m not too worried about the Phoenicians coming to Austin since Cyrus the Great conquered them in like 539 BC. Still, if you group of Sun worshipers feel the need to battle, bring it on…but stop by Seattle and pick up the house boat first. We can make our movie when you get here.
