Voyagers! was a short-lived Science Fiction TV show from the 1980s. It told the story of Phineas Bogg (played by Jon-Erik Hexum), a man who works as a "Voyager": a member of a mysterious group of people who travel through time and make sure history is the way it should be. Unlike in other Time Travel series, there was no clear reason why history was changing. The series was meant as a way to subtly teach history to the target audience. In the pilot episode, Bogg is joined in his travels by Jeffrey Jones (played by Meeno Peluce), a young boy from 1982 (who is something of a history expert) after Bogg loses his Voyager's manual; Bogg had failed to pay enough attention during his training and didn't know what to do without the book.Compare and Contrast Time Squad.The program ran for one season on NBC (1982-1983). Unfortunately, most people's awareness of the show is due to the unfortunate accidental death of Jon-Erik Hexum a year after the show had been canceled. (While on the set of his next series, Cover Up, he shot himself in the head with a pistol loaded with blanks as a joke, and died of a skull fracture.)

Fire-Forged Friends: Bogg and Jeffrey start out at odds, with Bogg blaming Jeffrey for the loss of his guidebook and Jeffrey angry about being taken from his own time. But even then, Bogg shows a protective instinct, pulling Jeffrey out of danger multiple times before they start to get along. In the end, they develop a good working relationship after facing armed soldiers, conducting a life-threatening experiment with a prototype airplane, and shooting down the Red Baron.

Everyone Went to School Together: Bogg turns out to have been at the academy with at least three of the other Voyagers we meet during the series (Olivia, Susan, and Drake). Then again, as far as we know, there is only one Voyager school.

Parental Abandonment: Jeffrey's parents died in a car accident before the beginning of the show (and his aunt, who was boarding him in the pilot, wasn't too keen on having him there), hence his willingness to chase around time and space with Bogg. It helps that Phineas attempts to fill the gap.

The Last of These Is Not Like the Others: While trying to cheer up/distract Jeffrey during "Cleo and the Babe", Bogg lists three examples of Manly Tears occurring during history: Napoleon at Waterloo, George Washington at Valley Forge, and General Eisenhower at Bunker Hill. Jeffrey, as intended, reacts in surprise, knowing that the third is inaccurate.

comment
Misplaced Accent: Given that everyone speaks English, this comes up in most episodes but it's never more glaring than in "Buffalo Bill and Annie Play the Palace" which depicts Queen Victoria, her granddaughter Princess Victoria and Grand Duke Michael of Russia as having American accents. It's all the more noticeable as every other British character on the series has some variety of British accent, as does the odd non-Briton for that matter. In "Jack's Back", Arthur Conan Doyle (who was Scottish) has an English accent.

Would Hurt a Child
 Voyagers! / int_479d4e5a
comment
Would Hurt a Child: Equally likely to be subverted or played straight in this show. Due to television laws at the time restricting violence against children, Jeffrey is often left out of fight scenes—even when he is involved, he won't be directly hurt. However, villains on the show have no qualms about arresting him, or selling him into slavery, or chasing him through dangerous environments.

Workaholic: Although Bogg is prone to distractions during missions, as long as there isn't a pretty blond around, he is intensely focused on his work. Much to Jeffrey's chagrin, he often turns down invitations to dinner from other characters or chances to witness historical events for the fun of it.

Artistic License – History: In "Agents of Satan", Bogg is convicted of witchcraft at the Salem witch trials on November 13, 1692 and is sentenced to burn at the stake. In reality, none of the 19 people convicted of witchcraft in Salem received this sentence; they were all hanged. Giles Corey was crushed to death for refusing to enter a plea.

Orphan's Ordeal: A recurring plot point is Jeff dealing with the deaths of his parents. As emotionally close as he becomes to Bogg, he still remembers his mother and father and frequently finds his memories of them being triggered. The loss of his parents also heightens his fear when it seems like something might happen to Bogg or the two might be separated.

San Dimas Time: Most episodes start with Jeffrey and Bogg arriving in one time period, jumping to another time period (usually to escape a sticky situation), and then returning to the first time period to fix history. This often results in Bogg wanting to hang around in the second time period (usually because of a woman) while Jeffrey anxiously tries to impress on him the urgency of needing to go back to the first time period "before it's too late", despite how little sense this makes.

Broken Pedestal: "Bully and Billy" has Jeff encountering Billy the Kid, who he thinks is not honestly such a bad person. He changes his mind after seeing how mean and dishonorable he could be. In "Jack's Back", Bogg is disillusioned with Nellie Bly after she falsely accuses him and has him arrested for attacking her at night in London, instead of being the dogged Investigative Journalist history painted her to be.

Wacky Parent, Serious Child: Played with. Bogg and Jeff's relationship is odd, but there are hints that it's partially a father/son bond. Bogg is historically ignorant and easily distracted by a pretty face, often needing Jeff to advise him or get him back on track. However, there are cases where it's Jeff who needs Bogg to keep him in line.

No Historical Figures Were Harmed
 Voyagers! / int_b0855ef3
comment
No Historical Figures Were Harmed: Mary Murphy, who appears in the pilot, is an obvious one for Mary Pickford, given that she's the most famous actress of the silent era. She was also a close friend of Douglas Fairbanks, to whom Mary Pickford was married from 1920 to 1936. Pickford was later mentioned in "Destiny's Choice". In "Destiny's Choice", a bunch of little child actors run around the Hollywood studio causing mischief and try to run away from Jeffrey with the Omni. They're called the "Terrible Tots" because the estate of Hal Roach wouldn't allow the "Little Rascals" name to be used.

 Voyagers! / int_b6cebad3
comment
Double Standard: Discussed in "Buffalo Bill and Annie Play the Palace". Annie Oakley, matched in a shooting contest against the Grand Duke Michael, is asked to throw the contest to avoid making him look bad in front of his intended. She says that it would be an insult to her to lose on purpose, especially because in her life she's had to work twice as hard just to be considered equal to a man.

comment
Devoted to You: While Bogg flirts with and falls for a woman in nearly every episode of the series, "The Barriers of Sound", shows the first time he finds himself helplessly in love when he meets Mabel Gardiner Hubbard. He even considers giving up his life as a Voyager to be with her. But Mabel's destined husband, Alexander Graham Bell is similarly devoted to her. In the end, he's happy to serve as a shoulder to cry on after her heart is broken.

comment
Skilled, but Naive: Jeffrey can often hold his own with his book smarts and resourcefulness, but his immaturity can occasionally come to the surface, most notably in his idolization of Billy the Kid in "Bully and Billy."

Crash Course Landing: At one point in the episode "All Fall Down," Jeffery must land a plane after everyone else on board is knocked out (including Bogg). He's walked through it by an air traffic controller, and manages to successfully land the plane.

comment
Crisis Catch And Carry: In the opening and at the end of the first episode, Bogg picks up Jeff and runs away with him when the situation in the part of the time stream they jump into gets very dangerous very fast. Bogg ends up doing this a lot, given his younger partner's relative lack of strength and speed.

Cassandra Truth: Jeffrey, anguished about all the loss of life that's going to occur, tries to warn people that the Titanic is going to hit an iceberg. History continues on course because he can't get anyone to believe him. However, Captain Smith seems a little rattled and discreetly orders more seamen on watch.

Vitriolic Best Buds: With their clashing values and personalities, Bogg and Jeffrey are prone to bickering about how to go about missions. But through it all, they are shown to respect and care for one another, and they never hesitate to act when the other is in danger.

comment
All Women Are Lustful: One of Bogg's defining traits is his inability to control himself around a pretty face, but there's something to be said about the way he's almost never turned down. Occasionally, even women who are already taken fall for his charms.

 Voyagers! / int_e853bdb8
comment
Plagued by Nightmares: The series begins with Jeffrey dreaming about being unable to save his parents in a swashbuckling escapade—likely influenced by the book he fell asleep reading as well as his real guilt surrounding his parents' deaths. In "The Trial of Phineas Bogg", when he worries that he and Bogg will be separated, he reveals that his nightmares had recently stopped, but he worries that they'll come back—this time about losing Bogg.

 Voyagers! / int_ec7da60a
comment
Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Though the show did not make bizarre claims about the backstories of the historic figures Bogg and Jones met during their adventures, there were a few odd moments... Cleopatra running around Prohibition-era New York with gangsters, and meeting Babe Ruth, while speaking perfect English. Jules Verne naming the globetrotting hero of Around the World in Eighty Days Phileas Fogg after meeting Bogg. Subverted later in "Jack's Back". Jeff asks if Jack the Ripper was really Drake. Bogg says it isn't like him and thinks he's just trying to mess up history by going after Nellie Bly.

Great Big Book of Everything: Averted in that Bogg loses his "Voyagers Guidebook" in the pilot. Jeffrey tags along to help, as he is a history buff (and Bogg can't return him to his own time, as his omni only goes up to 1970). Voyager Olivia Dunn uses the Guidebook in the episode "Voyagers of the Titanic". In "The Trial of Phineas Bogg", Professor Garth, the leader of the Voyager Tribunal is about to give Bogg his replacement Guidebook after his trial, but Bogg and Jeff disappear happily because they won the case and can remain Voyager partners.

Platonic Declaration of Love: In "The Trial of Phineas Bogg", Drake accuses Phineas of endangering Jeffrey during their time-travel experiences. Phineas responds that he loves Jeffrey and wouldn't let anything hurt him. As Phineas said in an earlier episode that he would like to be able to say Jeffrey was his son, it's pretty clear it isn't sexual.

Young Future Famous People: In the first episode, Jeffrey and Bogg find the infant Moses in his basket and send it down the Nile where it was discovered by the Pharaoh's daughter. They later meet the 12-year-old Samuel Clemens (a.k.a. Mark Twain) in Hannibal, Missouri in 1847 and the 14-year-old Buffalo Bill Cody (whom they had previously met as an adult at Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee celebrations in London in 1887) working the Pony Express in 1860. Furthermore, they often meet historical figures before they become famous but who are already adults such as Spartacus, Harriet Tubman and Theodore Roosevelt. Bogg helps deliver Dwight D. Eisenhower in "Barriers of Sound".
