Never heard of it. Can someone provide a very brief synopsis of the show?
In the jargon of Hollywood, it's "Quantum Leap" meets "Sliders".
Okay, a bit more of a synopsis. Dan Vasser is a reporter who gets pulled back in time to influence a life that somehow needs to be fixed. He jumps into key points in the person’s life to make a difference, but he has to figure out what he’s supposed to do or say to make that difference.
I’ve enjoyed the show, especially when he sees some subtle and not-so-subtle changes on his return, kind of like the Simpson’s episode with the time travel toaster.
The hero starts spontaneously making trips to the recent San Francisco past, only to return to the present hours after he disappears. This, of course, wreaks havoc on his marriage and job. His trips to the past seem to have a purpose, and he rights wrongs and changes the present while in the past. He meets his old girlfriend (Moon Bloodgood - oo-la-la) who had been presumed dead when she disappeared several years ago. Turns out she had been a time traveler from the 1930s who got stuck in the 2000s for a period of time. Together they fix the future when in the past. When at his job as a newspaper reporter, the hero contacts a Dr. Langley who is a quantum physicist who tell him that tachyons would be required for time travel. It so happens that Dr. Langley calls our hero while our hero is in the past on an antique cell phone he keeps on his person for use in the past. Dr. Langley has many visitors claiming to be time travelers besiging him at his office, visitors who are quickly escorted from the premises.
My guess is that the good doctor has been conducting experiments with tachyons that have had unintended consequences for various people in the San Francisco metropolitan area.
It's actually pretty interesting.
We watched it twice and it was the same thing all the time...he transports somewhere else leaving behind his wife and ends up somehwhere else. Fixes whatever needs to be fixed and then finds himself home again. Maybe there are fans out there but honestly...after watching it twice we both said it wouldn’t last. It’s too mundane.

It’s like Quantum Leap but not as good.
