Voyagers!: Holding out for a Hero!

My FIRST EVER attempt to create a 'movie' fanvid, I hope I have improved since. I was too impatient at the time to wait for the new DVDs. :)
I love Voyagers! and hope to tell a mini-story with clips from just a few of my favorite episodes. The awesome song used is Bonnie Tyler's 'Holding out for a hero' which was also the theme song to Jon-Erik's 1984 show 'Cover-up.' This fanvid is dedicated to his memory.
It also pays tribute to my two favorite television heroes, Phineas Bogg (Jon-Erik Hexum) and Jeffrey Jones (Meeno Peluce) as they strive to keep history on the right track. A red light on the omni means history's wrong, a green light means it's right. A very simple premise to a simply great t.v. show!

Look out for the following historical figures-
Spartacus, Nero, Cleopatra and Babe Ruth

The wallpaper was created by my sister Valirie, she's fantastic with those.

Love the song. Scenes fit well, too. I just hope Jeffrey was wearing a cup when he jumped down onto that horse!

@BKL8008 Thanks! You can see this is one of my very early attempts. Actually my first 'live action' video. LOL-Him or the stuntman! I'm pretty sure after leaving Lincoln he cried over that one!

I like the song; yet, I do not remember the series.

@whatalooker01 Voyagers! only ran for one season-20 eps. between 1982-1993, in the nineties it was shown in repeats on the sci-fi channel. This song is actually the opening credits theme to 1984's Cover Up, which featured Jon-Erik Hexum as the lead role before his death after about seven episodes.

The concept behind the show was solid. I loved the way it ended every week with Meeno Peluce saying "Take a voyage down to your public library, it's all in books!"

However the concept would have worked better for a series of tv movies aired say 3 or 4 times a year. Then it could have gone on for 4 or 5 years instead of dying after only a single season.

Of course we all missed out on what Jon Erik Hexum might have accomplished. Such a waste of an attractive young actor.

@Liam021471 Hi thanks for your comment. I like that idea, a series of tv movies that would have eventually branched into a full tv series. They did that with shows like Hercules and Xena and they went on for 5-7 years.. And yeah, there's so many thoughts about what Jon could have done through the years. He may have wound up becoming a great producer and director. He was saving to buy a production company. He liked solid drama films.

i can remember watching this back in the early 80s. they cut it after one series. they should of made more.

This was back when people knew how to educate and entertain at the same time. Now kids are stuck with sponge bob bullshit.. The 80's ruled! "V" for life!

My favorite show of all times

[MonkeesLuv62]

This is just great. It even made me cry a little. Jon Erik Hexum was so gorgeous and we shared the same birthday, November 5. It was such a tragedy when he died in that gun accident. R.I.P Jon Erik. You'll always be my "Hero"
