Recently Dave DiGilio posted this message at IMDB Traveler forum asking the fans to watch the show and to send fan emails to ABC in order to keep the show alive. If you want to see more than eight episodes please do it. I will. Hi, All. I’ve been lurking on this board for awhile, enjoying the posts, and debating whether or not to jump into the discussion. After seeing (screenwriter) Roberto Orci’s thread on the TRANSFORMERS website message board, I figured some good writer/fan interaction is just what the board needs right now. 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 You can view the whole IMDB forum thread here. Tags: Dave DiGilio

I can’t believe it ended for now. I love this show just as much as LOST. I hope that this ending is simply allowing a hiatus until the continued storyline is developed fully. The acting, tension and character development kept me returning and scheduling my week around its appearance. I am wanting to know how the honest FBI agents will reconcile the knowledge that their in house leader was responsible for one of their own. I want to know who caused the explosion. Was it the press? Was it the character inside the vehicle? Now that we have seen just how far this reached, how is this resolved? How can we return to a system of government with three branches?

I can’t believe that Traveller has been canceled. What an exciting, edge of your seat program that was. I looked forward to watching each week. Someone has made a big mistake

My wife and I just finally finished watching the finale of Traveler. I was hooked from the beginning and my wife was hooked by the end. It is a definite winner and needs to come back. Bring it BACK!!!

ABC expected to get an audience for this great show over a summer season? You have to give a show a chance. This show was wonderful, it kept me on the edge of amy seat and it was one that I could watch with my 14 year old. I traveled 6 weeks this summer and without TiVo - I would have missed this great show. I guess it is true, unless you have a nielsons box your vote does not count.

I have watched the first 4 seasons of “24″ in the last few months. I caught every episode of “Traveler” last summer. It is just as good, if not better than “24″. I think if ABC re-aired this show to the fall or spring (when people are not “traveling” so much….no pun intended..) ABC would have a successful show for atleast 3 more years. Post a comment
