Interesting Fact: A minor change in the Opening Credits
for the DVD:
The first handful of episodes have towards the end credits, the part that shows the screen splitting into 4 sections showing action from the show. A green tint covers the screen and the shot has a CUT to a close up of the omni's green light as the camera zooms out. This same series of shots, eventually changed to show the green tinted 4 action scenes, FADING to the massive close up of the omnis green light as the camera zooms out. The fade to the omni's green light was more visually pleasing than the abrupt cut.

CHILDREN'S BOOK COVER
1982 book written by Joe Claro
This story is taken from a very early first draft of the pilot episode.
Crash! A fist smashes through jeff's thirtieth floor bedroom window-followed by a frightened-looking man dressed in the strangest costume Jeff has ever seen! Jeff can't believe it. It has been an ordinary day, a day like any other, and now he's standing in his room facing this crazy stranger. The stranger turns out to be Bogg, a voyager-a time traveler-speeding through space and time, making sure history follows its proper course. But Bogg is having some trouble. His Omni, the device that guides his travels, is out of whack. And when Bogg falls out of 1982 and into 1450 B.C., he accidently pulls Jeff along with him-and can't get back to the present. Jeff and Bogg are lost in time!

This is the cover for the cheesy edited rehash 'Voyagers from the unknown.' It was put together in 1984 and released posthumously after Jon-Erik Hexum's death. It combined the first episode and a much later one called 'Voyagers of the Titanic.' It included horribly inserted 'space' scenes and unnecessary dubbing to Jeffrey's voice. I did like the illustrations in the very beginning showing Bogg graduating and getting his guidebook. You can see those drawings on the Art page. This is really only for the TRUE Voyagers! fan.INTERESTING NOTE-THE OPENING NARRATIVE FOR 'VOYAGERS FROM THE UNKOWN'
"Far out in the cosmos there exists a planet known as Voyager, where the mystery of travel into space and through time has been solved. It is inhabited by a race who call themselves Voyagers. Their purpose is to keep constant surveillance on history. These people have a time machine device, the Omni, which will take them into the past, present or future. As each Voyager graduates he is given an Omni and a guidebook. One such graduate Phineas Bogg, who was assigned as a field worker to operate in certain time zones."
This quote really doesn't make sense since in the first episode Phineas Bogg explains-"We're the people that are plucked out of time and trained to travel through the ages..." It is possible that yes, there is a planet called Voyager, but they decide who they want from earth to become a member of their ranks.
In latter episodes it is revealed that Phineas Bogg was once a pirate, he says so himself in 'Old hickory and the pirate.' It's even obvious by first glance at his outfit.
A rare video cover with an artist rendering (yikes!) of the original photograph used on another video cover for the 1984 Rehash film.
TV GUIDE WEST COAST COVER FEATURE:
This cover was for the West Coast Version of TV Guide, I found out after purchasing A TV Guide with the same date and 'Fame' on the cover. Sadly, the Voyagers! article was not in it.
However, I scanned the Sunday Night listing to go with this cover from my copy. It's one of my favorite episodes, 'World's Apart.'
