Overlooked Greatness (Voyagers!)

This show is indeed OVERLOOKED GREATNESS. “Voyagers!” is a time travel-based television series broadcast in the 1982-1983 season.

(The Stars)

Phineas Bogg (played by Jon-Erik Hexum) was one of a society of time travelers called Voyagers who, with the help of a young boy named Jeffrey Jones (played by Meeno Peluce) used a hand-held device called an Omni (which looked much like a large pocket watch) to travel in time and ensured that history unfolded as we know it.

(The Omni)

Bogg and Jeffrey first met when Bogg’s Omni malfunctioned and took him to 1982 (the circuitry of Bogg’s Omni was set to allow him only as late as 1970), landing him in the apartment of Jeffrey’s aunt and uncle, who were caring for him after his parents’ death. Jeffrey accidentally fell out of a window, causing Bogg to jump out to rescue him by activating the Omni. Bogg’s Guidebook, which contained a detailed description of how history should unfold, had been grabbed by Jeffrey’s dog Ralph so Bogg had to rely on Jeffrey (whose father was a history professor) to help him.
