Journeyman

Journeyman is pretty good. Like Heroes and some other quality hours, it pulls you in and along with a closed mystery for an arc ie: why does he keep going back in time. It's a little like the old Pretender show (or the Fugitive) in that he uses his gift/curse to help people through simple (storytelling wise) beats while he wrestles with the larger question of why this is/has all happened to him. This was an easier pilot than Chuck which needed to set up a ton of stuff to go forward, all Journeyman had to do was present the situation and let the characters and the audience wrestle with it. It will be interesting to see how both Chuck and Journeyman progress from here. Journeyman doesn't seem to have the tone and character problems that Chuck (is Chuck a nerd or is he a guy who goes and sits on the beach for deep thinking?) has, but Chuck could get better (it has no choice), so we'll have to see. I'm gonna try to check out K-Ville when it premieres in 45 minutes.
