Voyagers!

Voyagers! is an American science fiction television series about time travel that aired on NBC during the 1982–1983 season. The series stars Jon-Erik Hexum and Meeno Peluce.

Opening narration

Plot

Phineas Bogg (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) from 1982, 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.

Bogg and Jeffrey first met when Bogg's Omni malfunctioned and took him to 1982, landing him in the skyscraper apartment of Jeffrey's aunt and uncle, who were caring for him after his parents' death. Bogg's Guidebook, which contained a detailed description of how history was supposed to unfold, was grabbed by Jeffrey's dog Ralph, and in the struggle to retrieve it Jeffrey accidentally fell out his bedroom window and Bogg jumped out to rescue him by activating the Omni. With his Guidebook stuck in 1982 (which was beyond the temporal reach of his Omni), Bogg (who, being more interested in girls than in history, apparently never paid much attention in his Voyager training/history classes) had to rely on Jeffrey (whose father had been a history professor) to help him. Jeffrey's knowledge proved invaluable; for example, in the first episode Jeffrey ensured that baby Moses's basket traveled down the Nile where it was met by the Pharaoh's daughter.

Capture (TV series)

Capture is an American reality competition television series on The CW that is hosted by Luke Tipple and premiered on July 30, 2013.

Format

Capture, brings twelve teams of two to a 4,000-acre wilderness area called the Arena to participate in hunts to eliminate other teams as they vie for a $250,000 grand prize. The competition lasts for a month, and the teams, while still in the game, reside in a small camp named the Village and given meager food and rations, and otherwise forced to rely on survival skills for other resources. Teams are identified by matching color jackets they wear, and must stay together throughout the game. During hunts, each player wears a special vest mounted with an over-the-shoulder camera, as well as an armband mounted with a screen that can be used to display a map of the area, the team's current location, and other information during the hunt.
