Voyagers! Voyagers (1982–1983) watch online HD

Time traveling shows do not make it that much in the ratings. Even though as much as they try. As really loved this as a kid.

And that the late Jon Erik Hexum and Meeno Peluce make a great team. Hexum as the not too bright pirate Phineas Bogg(A tribute to Around the World in 80 Days Phileas Fogg), more brawns than brains and Peluce as smart boy wonder Jeffrey Jones.

Who try to right what was wrong. And put history back in it's place.It is a rocky start at first as all friendships and relationships are but then they rely upon one another. Hexum the big brother and father figure and Peluce who acts more of the adult than Hexum.

Hexum would had been a bigger star had he not pulled the trigger on the set of another short lived show "Cover Up!"

Young orphan Jeffrey Jones is having one desultory night when time traveling Phineas Bogg enters his bedroom and he's whisked quite by accident into time and space as drafted Voyager.

Jon-Erik Hexum needs him as he lost his guidebook, but young Meeno Peluce is a "walking history book". He's one of a select group of time travelers who when history gets out of kilter and their time traveling pocket watch the Omni shows red something has gone wrong.

I can and will point out the faults in each of these episodes. But they are fun.

In this one the first thing that happens is they are in ancient Egypt and there's a babe in a basket who gets a little push toward the Pharaoh's daughter. The babe grows up to be Charlton Heston.

On to World War I where we find out the Germans are kicking Allied butt with their dirigibles because no one has invented the airplane. We know this because Eddie Rickenbacker(Peter Frechette) is wounded and in the care of touring musical performer Faye Grant.

So it's on first to Kitty Hawk and then to Dayton, Ohio where a pair of lovesick brothers named Wilbur and Orville Wright are both pursuing the same woman and tend neither to their bicycle shop or their flight experiments as they are both trying to score with Sondra Currie. Ed Begley, Jr., and Donald Petrie won't invent the airplane if they don't put a hold on the libidoes. This is where the hunky Hexum comes in.

It would take too long to go into the list of folks experimenting with flight and heavier than air machines, but I think if the lovesick Wright Brothers dropped flight for romance someone else would have got the credit.

On to World War I where Hexum and Peluce arrive back to save the day again.

A nice beginning for the short lived series.

Plot; A boy gets caught up in the exploits of a time traveler whose job it is to keep history on the right track.

Voyagers! is one of dozens of such short-lived shows from the 80s that have been lost in the mists of time. If this pilot episode is any indication, that's a shame, because it's a fun, good natured adventure series. Jumping around from Moses on the Nile to meeting the Wright Brothers and then Eddie Rickenbacker, it has some rather impressive production values for its time. Sort of a Quantum Leap-lite, it offers up some history, breezy adventure and romance and has us back in our living rooms by dinner.

• Star John-Erik Hexum makes for a charismatic lead, and I wondered why I hadn't seen him in more things. He sadly died in an on set accident (on a different show)when he when playfully aimed what he assumed was an empty prop gun at his head and pulled the trigger.

• The episode does a pretty impressive job of re-creating early 20th century Dayton, Ohio when the Voyagers visit the Wright Brothers. I know because it's my home town. There's even a milk delivery truck in the background that Says "Montgomery County Dairy". A small detail that would be lost on most, but I picked up on it and appreciated it.
