Like many reviewers here, I watched this show as a child - and am so happy it has been preserved for the next generation... Twenty and thirty-somethings - get it for your kids, and yourselves. It is a delightful set of stories about how even heros struggle with self-confidence, and that with the right encouragement from people who care, we can all get our lives on track and make a difference. With a terrific mix and range of stories, this series celebrates intelligence, honor, and faith in one's own abilities and the future - wonderful lessons that are as badly needed now as 25 years ago.

This was a great family show. Wonderful for everyone to watch. You learn or re-learn your history in a fun way. Granted it's a little hokey for today, but that's part of the fun. I have shown it to neices and nephews alike and both have loved it!

I loved this show as a kid to see it now is just as good.

I was in 8th grade when this show aired it's one season. The main reason I remember for it being cancelled back then was because it's timeslot on Sunday opposite 60 Minutes. Also, this show was the inspiration for the much more successful Quantum Leap.
One thing I really liked about the series in retrospect was the different alternate history scenarios. 1890: No telephone, so Eisenhower's mother couldn't call the doctor for help delivering Dwight David. Enter the Voyagers who travel 15 years into the past to give A. G. Bell and Watson a push. That push happened to be in regard to Bell's love life. 1927, New York: No Yankee Stadium because Babe Ruth never switched from pitching to hitting and retired in 1922. So the Voyagers have to go back to 1919 and convince Babe that he needs to give up pitching and start his hitting career. The way they do it is unique and entertaining(this was the episode that Cleopatra beleived that the power of Bogg's kiss brought her forward in time).
If those scenarios weren't enough to get the casual viewer interested, I don't know what will. The characters made this show not only quality, but special. Also, being the age I was, I wasn't always around to watch this show, so I saw some of these episodes for the 1st time this past week, and I was not disappointed.
And I agree with the other reviewer here that suggested an updated version of the series. With a big trend toward supernatural and sci-fi based TV going on right now, this would be a perfect addition if it was done right.
I was disappointed in the lack of special features, but that didn't take away from my enjoyment at watching the series again.
I also feel compelled to mention that Jon-Erik Hexum's death was an accident, not suicide. He thought that just because a gun was loaded with blanks, that it couldn't hurt him, so he was horsing around with it and shot himself in the head at point blank range. Very sad. Voyagers was his first acting gig, and you can see as the episodes progress how much better he got in just that one year.
I recommend this to any and all.

This was one of my favorite TV shows back in the day. I had a few episodes recorded on VHS that I still watched every so often, but I'm thrilled to have a complete set and on DVD quality.
As soon as it arrived I spent the afternoon watching 8 episodes. It brought me back to 1982 when I was in 8th grade & wished I could travel like Jeff & Bogg. Not only was it good television but you learned something from it as well.
I want to thank whoever it was to provide this DVD set - it's really a fantastic addition to my DVD collection.
In closing - my only wish would be to have the series "updated" with a new Bogg and a new Jeff...but keep the same chemistry & family values as those two actors did so well.
