this was a great show, to bad it only lasted one season, and BTW Quantum Leap is based on an unused idea for Battlestar Galactica 1980

loved the concept of the show,but the douchebag shot himself w/a prop/blank gun. those things send out hot powder and paper. Somebody shot me in the ass w/one when i was little. it left a big burn on my cheek,and hurt like a mofo.

@krdragon6950 Agreed! I have thought that to.

If the show ran a few season Jon Erik Hexum maybe still alive!!

RIP! John Eric Hexum. I think his career was on the verge of really taking off when the accident happened.

@TheEHermit Yeah, I read that story as well, amazing, and as you probably know his death came when he was shooting his new series after this, Cover Up. If I remember, I think he only made 7 episodes before his accident. Too bad, I think his career was getting ready to take off.

This was my favorite show of that year. I also was told as a kid the show was canceled because of Hexum's (Phineas Bog's) accident while playing Russian Roulette with a gun loaded with a blank. But Voyagers was canceled for ratings. It was amazing to read on wikipedia about all the people he helped because he carried a organ donors card. He saved 4 people and restored vision to two more.

@WorldTurnBlack A similar concept to Voyagers! cancellation would happen to a couple shows a couple of years later. During the 84-85 season, Knight Rider and Hardcastle and McCormick, which had been huge in the ratings on Sundays during the 83-84 season were declining during the 84-85 season due to CBS and the huge success of Murder: She Wrote. So, the networks, out of fear moved Knight Rider to Fridays and Hardcastle and McCormick to Mondays, and by the end of the 85-86 season they ended.

@WorldTurnBlack It wasn't violence that cancelled Voyagers! It was NBC's fear of having a regular show compete with 60 Minutes on CBS, despite Voyagers! got a 17 share in the ratings, which is good during the three network era. However, NBC decided to put a news show called Monitor to compete with 60 Minutes and it turned to be a flop for the 83-84 season and one of Brandon Tartikoff's few mistakes at NBC.
