First off, on behalf of our cast, crew, and writers’ room, I want to thank everyone who has checked out the show and logged on to chat about it. All of your comments are great — those who dig it AND those who don’t. TRAVELER is meant to get people talking, and nothing got me more fired up than seeing a two page thread about the validity of Jay’s remark about "Guantanamo Bay."

But I’m not here to debate politics, or Kim Doherty’s hotness, or whether or not the Drexler bombing was really just one big art heist. I am here to talk about the pervasive fear of this show getting canceled. So here’s what I know:

Right now, we’ve been told that TRAVELER is a summer series and you will see all eight episodes of the first season! So don’t be afraid to invest in this show. I will make sure you get answers to any dangling questions, even if you have to get them via my blog over at TVguide.com.

The other thing I keep reading is that you think your opinion does not matter unless you have a Nielsen Box. That, my friends, is pure and utter crap. I’m sure you have read about the fans who recently convinced CBS to renew JERICHO after the show was already canceled. You think you are powerless? Not at all.

So, if you like TRAVELER, or if you just want to make sure that not all summer programming must include a panel of judges with a surly Brit, start getting vocal. Tell your friends to catch up on old episodes at ABC.com. Then tell them to tune in next Wednesday for another blow-your-drawers-off episode… two words for you… "The Porter." Seriously, this show is just getting warmed up. Now that Will is alive, things really get crazy.

But lastly, and most importantly, let ABC know that you like this show!!! I am not suggesting that you send 35,000 tons of nuts to ABC headquarters. But I am suggesting that you go back to the era of fan mail. Contact ABC scheduling and show your support. Because right now, all they have to go off is Nielsen boxes. And those Nielsen boxes go off of advertising. And well, there’s not a ton of advertising, so there won’t be a ton of Nielsen boxes… kind of like the whole chicken & the egg thing.

So keep up the posting. Contact ABC. And start spreading the good TRAVELER word far and wide. We need to reach out to the fans of 24, LOST, HEROES, and JERICHO, the serialized shows that are returning next year. It’s up to you guys to make sure we can join them.

Thanks and keep on travelin’,

Dave DiGilio
