I'm 5 eps in. this show is just terrible. How in the hell did it get 3 full seasons when a GOOD time travel show like Journeyman gets killed in a half a season?

Don't know, maybe someone was blowing a tv exec. There truly is no excuse for Jim, or My Wife and Kids for that matter.

Seven Days actually got fairly good for a time. Remember it was UPN, what else did they have?

But yeah the first bit is weak and the end of the series is just god awful

I can't disagree with you after season one. There was really no character or plot development.It was almost exactly the same for three seasons. Just with a different mission every episode. I agree Journeyman should have lasted longer.But it had its problems like the casting. But it was on the big four. And time travel shows don't last on broadcast networks. Quantum Leap was the last time travel show that lasted.

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.

The show was good for its time. Journeyman had an ugly lead male so it failed. Plain and simple. Not to mention 7 Days was the lead in to Voyager on UPN.

On what planet do you live, where a 6'3" blond hair, blue eyed muscular guy that resembles Steve McQueen is ugly?

It must be the light hearted feel and closed story episodes. I like the early episodes, they're funny in the right places.
Still cheesy though.
