Wow, here’s an announcement<\/a> I never thought I’d read: the TV series Voyagers!<\/i> will be released on DVD on July 17th.
\nWhat’s that? You say you’ve never heard of Voyagers!<\/i>? Well, I’m not surprised. It lasted only a single season, but it made a huge impression on me. Aimed squarely at the 10-14 year old market, the show was about a handsome-but-lunkheaded time traveler who accidentally picks up a 10-year-old companion, then finds himself unable to return the kid to his own time. Not that the kid wants to go… you see, he’s a history buff and an orphan, so blazing through the past is far more appealing than growing up in a boring old foster home in 1982. And his knowledge of history comes in useful, because our grown-up Voyager lost his handy guidebook and doesn’t know crap about any of the events they keep finding themselves in the middle of.<\/p>\n

It was all pretty silly and self-consciously educational in the way of early-80s kidvid, but I’m pretty sure this is one I’ll still enjoy. I’ve already earmarked my $49.98 for the set. Now, if only somebody would get to work on Tales of the Gold Monkey<\/i><\/a>…<\/p>\n

Here are the opening credits for Voyagers!<\/i>, which should give you a taste of the show if you don’t remember it, or generate a nice nostalgic glow if you do:<\/p>\n
