ABC's Traveler premiere bumped up to May 10

travelerABC is giving Traveler some love. What is Traveler? Well, I'd honestly be surprised if you remembered. It was on ABC's fall schedule, which was announced almost a year ago, and then kept getting bumped back to later dates. The series is about two college grads who end up getting framed for a terrorist act by another college buddy. Bob has been looking forward to it for nearly a year now!

Earlier this month, ABC announced Traveler would premiere on May 30th, but now the network has bumped up that premiere and given it a sweet time slot. The pilot episode of Traveler will air on May 10th at 10 pm, following a new episode of Grey's Anatomy. Then, the pilot will air again on the May 30th date.

I'm not sure if this is a good marketing idea. It seems odd to give a sneak preview of a show and then make people remember that they need to pick it up again during a holiday week (Memorial Day).

Just got done watching the pilot...and I have to say, this is the most excited I've been for a new tv show in YEARS. I'm ecstatic that I finally have a show I want to keep up with. Here's to crossing my fingers that this doesn't get canceled, because it looks fabulous so far!

"Traveler" had a fantastic pilot - the kind that makes you want to know immediately what is going to happen next. I believe this programming move is a good idea and the first time that ABC has treated this show with any semblance of respect. I think it will allow the show to pick up a few viewers it might otherwise not have. They just have to promote the hell out of it during sweeps - if that happens I think "Traveler" has a fighting chance.
