(NBC, Monday, 9,00) 

Due to the wonder of "On Demand" programming, I'm able to bring you previews of some new shows before they actually premiere, meaning you don't just have to trust me as to how good the pilot was: if you're interested, you can watch when it does air and then tell me how much I over or undersold it or how much I, as a person, am terrible. Either way, really.

Journeyman might be OK. Or it might be crap and early canceled. It's too early to tell.

The one-line: Dan takes trips through time to right wrongs and help make the world a better place.

Yeah, so, Quantum Leap meets Touched by an Angel but with no Al or Della Reese.

Except he can interact with his own life in the past, and when he jumps it eats time out of his regular life, causing problems with his own marriage and real life. So that's something new and interesting. And thank crap he's a newspaper reporter rather than a cop.

I dunno, the show seems to do the same thing to traveling through time that Medium did for being a psychic: explore it in a different way than had been done before and really apply itself also to the ramifications for the person's family and personal life while still mainly focusing on righting some wrong.

You know what? The show's well executed, but it's an old gimmick wrapped in a new package. I didn't find any of the stuff focusing on his present day particularly compelling, or how he ended up married to his brother's girlfriend after his fiancee died; I mean, whatever.

That the fiancee (Moon Bloodgood of "Day Break" another show of time-traveling wrong-righting) may be a journeyman like himself?

Now that's intiguing.
