ABC is giving Traveler some love. What is Traveler? Well, I'd honestly be surprised if you remembered. It was on ABC's fall schedule, which was announced almost a year ago, and then kept getting bumped back to later dates. The series is about two college grads who end up getting framed for a terrorist act by another college buddy. Bob has been looking forward to it for nearly a year now!Earlier this month, ABC announced Traveler would premiere on May 30th, but now the network has bumped up that premiere and given it a sweet time slot. The pilot episode of Traveler will air on May 10th at 10 pm, following a new episode of Grey's Anatomy. Then, the pilot will air again on the May 30th date.
I'm not sure if this is a good marketing idea. It seems odd to give a sneak preview of a show and then make people remember that they need to pick it up again during a holiday week (Memorial Day).

"Traveler" had a fantastic pilot - the kind that makes you want to know immediately what is going to happen next. I believe this programming move is a good idea and the first time that ABC has treated this show with any semblance of respect. I think it will allow the show to pick up a few viewers it might otherwise not have. They just have to promote the hell out of it during sweeps - if that happens I think "Traveler" has a fighting chance.

Just got done watching the pilot...and I have to say, this is the most excited I've been for a new tv show in YEARS. I'm ecstatic that I finally have a show I want to keep up with. Here's to crossing my fingers that this doesn't get canceled, because it looks fabulous so far!
