Treveler

Did anyone else watch this new show on ABC? I admit it, I got hooked very quickly.

I wish I could edit titles -- it's actually Traveler.

Here's the blurb from ABC:

How well do you know your friends? Would you bet your life on it? After spending every minute of the last two years living, working, and partying together, grad-school students Jay Burchell, Tyler Fog and Will Traveler depart on a cross-country road trip. But when an innocent prank at one of New York's oldest art museums coincides with the bombing of the iconic building, Jay and Tyler are blamed for the terrorist attack and realize that their "friend" Will may have been the one who framed them. Unable to find Will or any evidence that the Will Traveler they knew even existed, Jay and Tyler are forced to flee the city and go on the run.

Now, hunted by the F.B.I. as domestic terrorists, the friends must rely on each other to elude capture, while trying desperately to prove their innocence by answering two questions -- Who is Will Traveler? Why did he do this to them? Jay and Tyler search for clues both in the present and the past, and slowly unravel a conspiracy that involves their friends and family members and calls into question the very nature of American democracy.

Director David Nutter, who has defined many hit series including "The X-Files," "Without a Trace" and "Supernatural," along with the writer of "Eight Below" (David DiGilio) and the Oscar-winning producers of "American Beauty" (Dan Jinks and Bruce Cohen), combine "The Fugitive" and "Enemy of the State" into a taut, tense thriller about innocents on the run. This action-packed drama taps into 21st century paranoia with provocative themes, complex characters and pure adrenaline-fueled entertainment.

As for the line that it "calls into question the very nature of American democracy" (this made a friend of mine a bit leery), think "The Manchurian Candidate," "Bourne Identity" or the like.

Sounds REALLY worth a try!

Although, I have to admit that, at first, I thought it was going to be a movie based on Richard Adams' book, and was excited about that, too.

I saw the first episode and loved it. Have they shown a second? When is this on? ABC is making me crazy with their scheduling this year!

ETA: OK, I see it's Wednesdays at 10 pm. Wish it was earlier!

Can we get a Moderator to edit the title? The spelling of "Treveler" is making me mental.
