VOYAGERS

VOYAGERS
   US tv series (1982-3). Universal. Created James D. Parriott, prod Jill Sherman, Robert Steinhauer. Dirs included Virgil Vogel, Bernard McEveety, Allan Levi, Ron Satloff. 20 50min episodes.Phineas Bogg (played by Jon Eric Hexum) and Jeffrey Jones (played by Meeno Peluce) are time-travelling Voyagers who put history right (which is to say, the way we know it to have been).
   The premise could have been interesting, but remained trivial (reminding the Wright Brothers to invent the aeroplane, helping Babe Ruthhit his 60th home run and, more inventively, saving Jean Lafitte the pirate so that the British do not win the Battle of New Orleans). In the final episode, Jack the Ripper turns out to be a renegade Voyager trying to corrupt history. Not helped by the woodenness of its handsome leading players, V seems to have received very little foreign distribution and to have been largely ignored by the sf community.
