Traveler

[Mike Olbinski]

We taped it last night...anyone going to watch this on ABC?

Looks sort of interesting.

 

[Louis]

DVR'd it. Will watch tonight.

Kind of confused with the premise though.

Is it that the 2 college guys get framed and then go on the lam to search for the guy who framed them?

 

[Mike Olbinski]

I think it's their friend, he does something, blows up the bank, they become wanted for doing nothing, and now they want to find their friend...Will Traveler.

Bingo. He frames them and they have trouble proving he even exists.

I saw the pilot this summer. I found it entertaining, but don't like its chances for two reasons:
1) Substandard casting->bad acting
2) A "conspiracy" type plot--this type of show frequently gets bad very quickly

 

[Chaplin]

Granted, I work for the company that makes the show, but early buzz is that it's a very good show.

 

[Nasser22]

Hmm, if the first episode is on abc.com I will watch it. The commercials made it look pretty interesting.

Yeah, the EW girl who reviews shows says she started really liking it after a few episodes.

 

[Nasser22]

I just saw the first episode on abc.com. Interesting, but nathan was right about the acting. I'm definitely following this series though.

 

[Mike Olbinski]

I liked it...I'll watch a few to see how it goes.

 

[JS22]

I have a hunch that this show will go the way of "Day Break" unfortunately. (Which was a good show, btw.)

In other words, canceled before it gets a chance.

Daybreak was REALLY good!

 

[Nasser22]

When does this series continue?

When does this series continue?

May 30th

It's going to take over Lost's time slot.

 

[Louis]

Bump.

2 shows on tonight. 1st the premier episode and then the all new 2nd episode.

 

[Mike Olbinski]

Thanks for the heads up!

 

[Russ Smith]

I watched the first hour but fell asleep early in the 2nd.

I just couldn't get past the idea that a guy could go through 4 years of college with nobody ever getting a clear picture of him, and with there apparently being no record of him existing?

I know Stanford just had some weird deal where a student faked being enrolled there and even fooled the ROTC for 9 months but 4 years and presumably he graduated with his buddies at least they made it sound that way?

 

[Angel]

I think it was only two years but I get your point, though I think they knew what he wanted them to know about him. But even then I don’t see how you can call someone your “best” friend and not have a single picture or personal tidbit about them

It is very slow moving but I am going to give it a few more episodes, aside from nothing else really being on TV right now I like the plot possibilities and DVR magic helps move it along.

After watching the first two episodes I think you are right. This just just doesnt have the "IT" factor. Kind of bleh to me. I will watch it a few more to see if it gets any better.

Perfectly describes how I feel.

I hate that it's trying to hard to throw in tons of gov conspiracy stuff.

That has been worked to death on tv.

 

[Nasser22]

I missed the episode from 2 weeks ago, but I just saw last week's episode and it was very good. I'll probably watch it tonight.

 

[nathan]

I liked last week's episode a lot. Tonight's episode was pretty good--except for that lame scene with the vans.

I agree, the scene with the vans was dumb, but it was a very good episode. The show is finally starting to pick up.

 

[jpjapes]

FFFF i missed this weeks episode.

Last weeks was really exciting... this show is alot of fun. I hope they don't cancel this

Anyone care to give a recap?

 

[Nasser22]

You can watch the episode on abc.com.

 

[Nasser22]

Was there a new episode this week? I went to abc.com and they showed an old one. I don't want to miss out on these and get confused later.
