Canceled NBC series that got a brief run in late 2007. It was about Dan Vasser (Kevin McKidd), an Everyman who goes back in time involuntarily, regularly experiencing Mister Sandman Sequences, to Set Right What Once Went Wrong.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Later in the show, the impact of his travel on his present-day life was essentially the focus of the show, and the actual reasons for the travel into the past were dealt with in each episode as an afterthought (both by the writers and by the main character himself, who often got yelled at by his more experienced companion for inattention to duty).Not to be confused with The Journeyman Project, a series of point-and-click adventure games which also deal with time travel but are otherwise unrelated.

Distaff Counterpart: Liv, Dan's ex-fiance who vanished suddenly. He slowly learns she is also bouncing through time, though in her case she moved forward from her home time in the 1940s.

Blessed with Suck: Yay, he can travel through time, helping people! But he can't control it, his wife thinks he's cheating on her, his friends think he's addicted to gambling, and his brother thinks he's a possible criminal.

Cell Phones Are Useless: When Dan travels back to 1987, his iPhone doesn't work, so he has to break into an apartment and steal a contemporary phone. From himself.

For Want of a Nail

For Want of a Nail and In Spite of a Nail: Both apply. Little things Dan does add up—such as saving a woman who is going to be the mother of a gifted surgeon. But on the other hand, he always comes back to his life exactly as he left it. The episode where he accidentally jumpstarts technology (see Timeline-Altering MacGuffin) and erases his son strongly insinuates that whoever is sending him back is also protecting his family from minor alterations.
