The Fantastic Journey was an NBC American science fiction television show. There were ten episodes.

Canon

"The Fantastic Journey" was a short-lived, relatively unlamented TV series. It traced the adventures of a band of travelers marooned in a Bermuda Triangle-like area of multi-leveled time zones. Each week's show pitted the intrepid band against a danger in a new time zone. The zones co-mingled in this strange region and ranged from antediluvian Atlantis to far in the future. And our stars played characters from many of these eras. The show was not a rousing success, and did not last very long, although in honesty, 'Fantastic Journey,' like Logan's Run at a later date, appears to have been a victim of the overly-hasty ratings game. Both shows were pulled just when they had begun to develop some of their potential and gave some promise of turning onto a really good program after all." [1]

"The Fantastic Journey" had elements of the earlier series, The Time Tunnel, and of the later series, Sliders and Quantum Leap.

Actors

Science fiction fans noted that some of the actors in this series played other, often better-known roles in other science fiction programs:

  • Jared Martin ("Varian") would go on to play Dr Harrison Blackwood in the 1988-1990 TV series War of the Worlds.
  • Roddy McDowell (Dr Jonathan Willoway) became more famous for playing varied ape characters in Planet of the Apes original movies (1968-1973) and the 1974 TV series.
  • Ike Eisenmann (Scott Jordan) became known as Tony Malone in the movies, "Escape to Witch Mountain" (1975), "Return to Witch Mountain" (1978), and "Race to Witch Mountain (2009); and most famously as midshipman Peter Preston in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan (1982).
