After the successful fan revival of “Jericho”, fans have worked very hard to save their shows from cancellation. SaveJourneyman gave it a shot, and today conceded defeat.

The news we have been dreading is finally here. We have information from very trustworthy sources (no fooling this time) that Journeyman will not be returning to the air on any network. Kevin Falls has signed a development deal with another studio, and NBC and Fox are not interested in continuing the show. Their disinterest is moot without the availability of Falls, in any case. There is no word on a DVD release.

“Journeyman” was a great attempt at reviving the “Quantum Leap” genre, with a more dramatic twist. I’m not sure why it didn’t catch on. It would seem that with a reduced budget, a show like “Journeyman” could survive on a cable network where niche programming is more successful.

Why did “Journeyman” not survive?
