ABC's Traveler: The Final Secrets Are Revealed | Today's News: Our Take | 9/28/2007
As promised, David DiGilio, the creator of ABC's unjustly dispatched Traveler series, has come forth with a final TVGuide.com celebrity blog entry revealing not just the secret of the Fourth Branch and the true identity of the Porter, but also the (would-be) game plan for Seasons 2 and 3. Explaining the Fourth Branch alluded to in the "series" finale, he writes, "Our founding fathers wanted independence from England, and they needed to unify a fledgling country populated by a multinational... read more
Closure | David's Traveler Blog | 9/28/2007
Hello Porters, fans of Traveler and any folks who may have randomly found this page. First off, on behalf of the cast, writers and everyone involved in Traveler, I want to thank all those who fought so hard over the past two months to get our show back on the air. It was inspiring to see your effort and devotion. And you fought valiantly. But in the end, I think the same thing that doomed our show — lack of awareness — also made it impossible to muster the kind of numbers needed to... read more
Ask Matt | 9/28/2007
Why haven't ABC, CBS and NBC copied the cable networks with new summertime programs like The Closer, Damages, Burn Notice, etc.? Don't they know the public is clamoring for good programs to watch during the summer hiatus? read more
Ask Matt | 9/10/2007
Why is it that networks rarely grab each others' shows after they are canceled? This year there were a few cases where this would have made a lot of sense. For example, a show like The Class had average ratings, but it was canned because CBS didn't have many hours available. Wouldn't it have made sense for ABC, which is starving for even a marginal comedy, to pick it up instead of renewing According to Jim or Notes from the Underbelly? Traveler and Masters of Science Fiction are other shows ... read more
Preview: Has The Closer Met Her Match in Steven Culp? | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 9/3/2007
Tonight at 9 pm/ET, TNT's The Closer kicks off a two-part season-ender that pits Brenda against one of her toughest-to-crack cases ever, and in turn a formidable adversary in the form of guest star Steven Culp. TVGuide.com asked the alum of Desperate Housewives to tease the drama ahead. Plus: What happened with ABC's Traveler? TVGuide.com: Obviously we don't bring in Steven Culp for just anything, so what have we got you doing these two weeks?Steven Culp: Well, I don't know how much I'm ... read more

Ask Matt | 8/17/2007
Please tell me that there are at least some rumors flying around about a possible renewal of the ABC show Traveler. From what I've heard online, this show has a huge following despite the Nielsen ratings. ABC did Traveler a great disservice by airing it in a 10 pm timeslot during the summer, following two reality shows. Traveler has action, suspense and all-around great acting. It's an intelligent show that appeals to all age groups. I can't believe ABC is canning it after only eight episodes,... read more
The Nine's Lives Are Up as Final Eps Move to ABC.com | Today's News: Our Take | 8/16/2007
What happened in there? How about, "What's happening in the ABC programming department?" The poor and the beleaguered The Nine has been pulled from the Alphabet net's schedule, leaving the final four episodes to see the light of day (or at least the light of that crappy lamp in your home office) at ABC.com. Episodes 8 and 9 are already online, with 10 and 11 due imminently. Episode 12 will post Aug. 23, and the series finale goes up Aug. 30. A tiny ray of light at the end of this dark tunnel:... read more
Ask Ausiello | 8/1/2007
Regarding ABC's Traveler, fans are all abuzz about Stephen McPherson's press tour comments. I was just curious: In what context was the comment made? read more
Ask Matt | 7/30/2007
Please give me some good news: that Traveler is coming back. I was treated to eight episodes of twists, turns, suspense and drama. Not to mention all-around good acting! I was happy to see such a thought-out and well-written show. If it is indeed gone, I am sick and tired of networks pulling this. If you don't think your show has the slightest chance of doing well, then please don't put it on the air. I purposefully stayed away from shows last season (e.g., Heroes) because I was afraid they ... read more
Traveler Boss Lets "Fourth Branch" Mystery Linger | Today's News: Our Take | 7/25/2007
Traveler creator David DiGilio has opted to hold his cards close to the vest — for now, at least — rather than explain what the Fourth Branch is and answer any other questions raised by last week's season/series finale. "For those who were upset by the cliff-hanger... all I can tell you is that we certainly did not expect it to be a series finale," DiGilio says in his TVGuide.com celebrity blog. "[It]was part of the construction of the series, which is meant to pose one large question... read more

Hello, Porters! I figured there might be a few fans out there itching for a Traveler fix today. It's the first Wednesday in a while without an episode of the show, so I figured I would come online and say hello to everyone and give you an update.First off, thank you for all of the reaction to last week's finale. There was a lot of food for thought in those 80-plus responses. And all of the feedback, positive and negative, has been processed by yours truly.For those who were upset by the... read more
Exclusive! Housewives Alum Cops Closer Role | Today's News: Our Take | 7/19/2007
This just in....Steven Culp, well known for his run as Desperate Housewives' (now dearly departed) Rex and also a central (grr...) figure in ABC's just-concluded Traveler, will guest-star on two episodes of TNT's The Closer, TVGuide.com has learned. Details have yet to come in as to Culp's exact role (spoiler to the Brenda-Fritz romance, hmm?), but his pair of appearances will air some time in September. read more
Ratings: Traveler Finale Picks Up Some Passengers | Today's News: Our Take | 7/19/2007
Wednesday's ratings recap:• So You Think You Can Dance averaged 7.96 million total viewers over its 90-minute run, a week-to-week increase of 460 thou. Leading out of that, some 760,000 appeared to forget the Lyrics, though the sing-along still claimed the No. 2 spot in the 9:30 half-hour.• Next Best Thing's next-to-last episode served up a typical 7.07 mil.• American Inventor (6.1 mil) was up 370K.

Episode 8: "The Exchange" | Traveler Show Blog | 7/19/2007
This may have been the worst breakup I’ve ever had. I began this blog with the hopes that Traveler would survive the bad decisions of network executives and continue to have a great story line. And although its great story line continued, it did not survive the network ax.... I hate ending relationships with no closure. I was left hoping that ABC had extended the episode to 75 minutes, and then the 11 o'clock news came on. What happened?The episode seemed rushed and unfulfilled. We were... read more
"The Porters" | David's Traveler Blog | 7/13/2007
Nothing like having a posse get your back when someone throws dirt in your eye. That's what I was thinking as I read the 45 — yes, 45! — comments that came in response to last week's blog and the news that ABC has let our contracts lapse. With the enormous outpouring of support here, on IMDb and on the various fan forums, I wanted to make sure you guys knew that we at Traveler appreciate all the dedication you've shown to the series. And thus, I have affectionately deemed you "the... read more
Episode 7: "The Reunion" | Traveler Show Blog | 7/12/2007
On Sunday while vactioning, I was informed by a stranger that Traveler had been cancelled. I freaked out. He then looked at me and said, “Didn’t you say you worked for TV Guide?” I was a bit embarrassed. I go out of town for one week and my whole world changes!Apparently ABC has let the actors' contracts lapse. Basically this means the show will not return, but ABC will air its finale next week. And since this is my blog, I am just going to say it: The ABC executives who made... read more
ABC Redials The Nine as Traveler Hits the Road | Today's News: Our Take | 7/6/2007
This Wednesday and next, ABC's underappreciated Traveler presents its final two episodes — and, yes, we do mean final, as series creator David DiGilio details in his TVGuide.com celebrity blog update. "We have sadly reached the point where our show is most likely not coming back," he writes. "ABC has officially let our cast contracts lapse." Read more about it here.

Welcome back to Dave's Traveler blog. After a break for the Fourth of July holiday, on July 11 we return for the final two episodes of the season... and perhaps of the show. Yes, in my efforts to keep you guys up to date, we have sadly reached the point where our show is most likely not coming back. ABC has officially let our cast contracts lapse. While this is not a formal cancellation, we are meant to fade away quietly, as this article from the L.A. Times suggests.The Traveler fans are doing... read more
