TV.com summary
Voyagers! was a time travel-based television series broadcast in the
1982-1983 season on NBC, starting on October 3, 1982.
Phineas Bogg (played by Jon-Erik Hexum) was one of a society of time
travelers called Voyagers who, with the help of a young boy named
Jeffrey Jones (played by Meeno Peluce) used a hand-held device called
an Omni (which looked much like a large pocket watch) to travel in
time and ensured that history unfolded as we know it. For instance, in
the first episode Jeffrey ensured that baby Moses' basket traveled
down the Nile where it was met by Pharaoh's daughter.
Bogg and Jeffrey first met when Bogg's Omni malfunctioned and took him
to 1982 (the circuitry of Bogg's Omni was set to allow him only as
late as 1970), landing him in the apartment of Jeffrey's aunt and
uncle, who were caring for him after his parents' death. Jeffrey
accidentally fell out of a window, causing Bogg to jump out to rescue
him by activating the Omni. Bogg's Guidebook - which contained a
detailed description of how history should unfold - had been grabbed
by Jeffrey's dog Ralph, and so Bogg had to rely on Jeffrey (whose
father was a history professor) to help him.
There are several running gags in the show, like Phineas' lacking
knowledge of im****tant historical events, which emphasizes his
dependence on Jeffrey; his fear of dogs; and his poker playing habits,
where he relies on the rules of an old Hungarian card game called
Schnibbitz, yet he usually wins doing so. Phineas is also a great
womanizer and manages to fall for a beautiful woman in almost every
single time period he is in.
Many historical figures appeared in this series, among them Babe Ruth,
Cleopatra, Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin, and Harriet Tubman. Over
the closing credits of each episode, actor Meeno Peluce would say, "If
you want to learn more about {whatever historical person or event
appeared in the show}, take a voyage down to your public library. It's
all in books!"
In 1984, one year after the show ended, Jon-Erik Hexum suffered an
accidental fatal gunshot wound to the head on the set of his next show
Cover Up with Jennifer O'Neill.

[edit] The Time Machine
The Omni is a small device used by Voyagers to travel in time.
The Omni is shaped like a small pocket watch, although for purposes of
disguise it can apparently be custom configured by its user. The
control panel features a scale model of the Earth, surrounded by
associated control dials for use in selecting the target time period.
The Omni also features two indicator lights =97 one red, one green =97 to
indicate whether the flow of history had been tampered with: a
fla****ng red light meant history had been altered, and a steady green
light meant that history was as it should be.
The Omni must be closely guarded by its owner, as anyone who finds an
Omni can use it to travel in time. Once, Thomas Edison, while
struggling to invent the electric light, even attempted to disassemble
an Omni to find out how its lights worked, but was unable to discover
how the device functioned. However, he was able to reassemble it back
into working order.
Phineas Bogg's Omni was made of brass and was hardwired to take him no
further ahead than 1970, but it malfunctioned and took Bogg to 1982
where he met young Jeffrey Jones. It is unknown why the hardwiring was
originally done. The Omni's cover bore the Voyager logo, an elaborate
letter V, as well as the inscription "Time Waits For No Man".
[edit] The Guidebook
Voyagers! Guidebook ReplicaAlong with their Omnis, Voyager Recruits
were given the Voyagers Guidebook upon graduation from Voyager School.
The guidebook was to be carefully guarded, as it contained secrets of
the past, present and future. The Guidebook was key in helping a
Voyager find out what needed to be fixed when the Omni displayed a red
light. The Guidebook is referred to throughout the series, and is
actually used by female Voyager Olivia Dunn in the episode "Voyagers
of the Titanic". (At the conclusion of that episode, in Paris, 1912,
Dunn uses her guidebook to show Bogg and Jeffrey the outcome of their
now-completed mission.)
The pages of the Guidebook were never shown in the series but it is
what all Voyagers were trained to rely upon, in order to complete
missions. When Bogg was put on trial in the episode "The Trial Of
Phineas Bogg", Voyager Drake, the villain of the series, made losing
his book the first criminal charge against Bogg in court.
