Production [ ]
D. C. Fontana recalled that once "The Fantastic Journey" had been commissioned, she and the producers had a very short period of time to develop and produce the show before filming commenced.
Additional scenes were filmed and inserted into the pilot which introduces the Atlanteans who are the focus of Episode 2, but this new material also quickly moves off-screen the characters Paul, Eve and Jill (who were originally intended to be regulars), as the network wanted a more diverse group of travelers.
Also, a subplot involving the travelers finding a 1940s Air Force pilot held prisoner by 16th century pirates was removed from the first episode.
The show benefited from a larger than normal amount of location filming, with familiar sites such as the Hollywood Hills, Zuma Beach, the Bonaventure Hotel in LA and Griffith Park Observatory all appearing in various episodes.
The character, Willaway was created specifically with Roddy McDowall in mind and fortunately, he was interested and took the role when approached.
Cancellation [ ]
Although airing in a time when the nation's interest in the Bermuda Triangle, UFOs and fantasy was at a height, "The Fantastic Journey" failed to last beyond the ten episodes, having been scheduled as a mid-season replacement (following the failure of another fantasy series, " Gemini Man ") against "The Waltons" & "Welcome Back, Kotter."
NBC ordered 12 episodes of the series to follow the revised pilot, but production ended early when it was apparent that the ratings were low. The show was either pre-empted or its time-slot changed several times during its short run.
By its tenth episode, the ratings had dropped, and the show was cancelled.

The Fantastic Journey
![the fantastic journey wiki The Fantastic Journey (Series)](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fantastic_journey.jpg)
An American Sci-Fi series that has a group of travelers ( Ike Eisenmann , Carl Franklin , and Roddy McDowall ) being trapped in the Bermuda Triangle and meeting two people ( Jared Martin and Katie Saylor ) while they try to get back home.
The show aired from February 3, 1977 to June 16, 1977 on NBC .
Tropes for the series:
- Action Girl : Although it doesn't happen as much in later episodes, Liana is shown in the first two episodes to be a capable fighter and is implied to use her psychic abilities in combat.
- Arc Villain : The Source, an orange brain that feeds off of energy from human sacrifices, is the Big Bad for the show's opening two-parter.
- Badass Pacifist : Varian was a musician in his own time and abhors violence. However, if he has to, he will use his atomic energizer to fight, and is not above destroying inhuman entities like The Source. Fred and Liana also have shades of this, since they're both anti-violent but willing to fight in self defense.
- The Bermuda Triangle : Where the group first start their time traveling escapades.
- Bond Creatures : Liana shares a telepathic connection with her cat Sil-El. This usually results in Sil-El observing something in secret and then communicating with Liana about it.
- Combat Medic : Fred is a doctor but he will fight if necessary. Varian, who has healing powers but was primarily a musician in his own time, is a downplayed version of this.
- Evil Is Hammy : In the episode "Funhouse," Apollonius, once he's in the body of Willoway, speaks in a loud and echoing voice. Apollonius : (in Willoway's body) "HEEEEEEEEEE'S MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!"
- The Leader : Varian. He makes the team's decisions and is usually the most reliable and stable.
- The Lancer : Fred works together with Varian but can also handle things on his own. Since the two of them are both healers, they form a supportive friendship.
- Team Kid : Scott, the child of the group.
- The Heart : Liana, who is telepathic and sensitive to the needs and suffering of others.
- The Smart Guy : Willoway, a Smug Snake but brilliant scientist whose knowledge of technology, languages, and history comes in handy,
- Team Pet : Sil-El, Liana's pet cat who communicates with her telepathically and accompanies the team on their travels.
- The Homeward Journey : The group use portals from one dimension to the next hoping to find the one that leads home. With only 10 episodes, they never got home.
- "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight : The climax of the episode "Funhouse" has Varian doing this with a possessed Willoway.
- Jive Turkey : Fred, a Black man from 1977, drops slang words like "dynamite," even calling Willoway a "turkey" at one point. There's also this exchange from the beginning of "Children of the Gods" (justified since Willoway is from the 60's): Willoway: "Now I remember a '37 pommeau. Robust! But not overpowering." Fred: "It's alright. It's alright if it's chill." Willoway: "Chilled? You don't chi-" (Beat) Willoway: "Gotcha." Fred: (laughing) "I got you. "
- Karma Houdini : Willoway goes from being the main villain of the third episode to joining the regular cast. Fred brings this up but Varian makes it clear that Willoway has no chance of surviving on his own, and Liana quickly forgives him for trying to abduct her and force her to marry him.
- Lost World : The various places encountered in the Bermuda Triangle by the main cast.
- Patchwork World : An island in the Bermuda Triangle has a series of timezones, each with trapped groups of people from the past, present, and future.
- Three of the travelers on the boat carrying Scott and Fred, including Scott's parents, were going to be part of the main cast, but they ended up going home ahead of their son.
- Liana disappears after Episode 8. In-universe this is because she's helping the residents of one of the zones they've passed through rebuild, but in Real Life actor Katie Saylor was unavailable due to illness.
- Raise Him Right This Time : In one episode, a murderer steals an object that has the power to warp matter, create food, and other such things from a peaceful community. The orb reacts to him and regresses him into an infant. The community scoop him up and promise to raise him well; his life will replace the one he took.
- The Smurfette Principle : Liana is the sole female member of the group. The initial two episodes featured a larger central cast with two female characters, including Scott's mother, but these were Put on a Bus for the series proper, having returned home.

The Fantastic Journey is an American science fiction television series about a family and their associates who charter a boat for a scientific expedition into the Caribbean. After an encounter in the area of the Bermuda Triangle with an unnatural green cloud, the group find themselves shipwrecked on a mysterious uncharted island from which they are unable to escape.
They encounter Varian, initially disguised as an Arawak native, who is later revealed to be from the year 2230. A 23rd-century pacifist, musician and healer, Varian explains to the travelers that, like he and many before them, they have been caught in a space/time continuum where people from the past, present, future and from other worlds are trapped, co-existing on the island in a series of timezones. The only way home can be found in a place called "Evoland", which lies "far to the rising sun". The only way to travel between time zones is via invisible gateways that instantaneously transport individuals or groups from one zone to another.

The Fantastic Journey
The Fantastic Journey is an American science fiction television series that was originally aired on NBC from February 3 through June 16, 1977. It was originally intended to run 13 episodes, as a mid-season replacement , but NBC cancelled the series in April, after the ninth episode aired. A tenth episode, already produced, was burned off two months later.

The series concerns a family and their associates who charter a boat out into the Caribbean for a scientific expedition. In the Bermuda Triangle , after encountering a glowing green cloud, accompanied by the eerie disembodied sound of ship's bells , the group find themselves shipwrecked on a mysterious uncharted island from which they cannot escape.
They encounter Varian ( Jared Martin ), initially disguised as an Arawak native, who is later revealed to be from the year 2230. A 23rd-century pacifist, musician and healer, Varian explains to the travelers that, like he and many before them, they have been caught in a space/time continuum where people from the past, present, future and from other worlds are trapped, co-existing on the island in a series of "Time Zones". The only way home can be found in a place called "Evoland", which lies "far to the rising sun". (It was indicated in interviews of the time that Evoland was also the name of the island.) The only way to travel between Time Zones is via invisible gateways that instantaneously transport individuals or groups from one zone to another. In one episode, "Beyond the Mountain", the group also encounters a second cloud, which has much the same effect, but which also splits up the group.
After the initial pilot story, a steady group of travelers forms around Varian as de facto leader, and the series then follows this group as they travel across the many Time Zones of the island to find Evoland. On their way, they encounter people from different planets and times who are also trapped on the island and who have adapted to their plight in different ways.
The pilot initially suggested the historical past would be explored. The series, though, soon adopted a consistently futuristic style during the series following pressure from the network. Three characters after the pilot were also dropped, as they wanted a more exotic group of travelers, hence the arrival of Liana and Willoway. Liana disappeared from the last two episodes when Katie Saylor fell ill.
- Varian ( Jared Martin ): "A man from the 23rd century possessing awesome powers", Varian generally uses a kind of crystalline "tuning fork" device called the Sonic Energizer through which he focuses his thoughts into what is described as a sonic manipulation of matter. The device is completely useless in anyone else's hands, and seems capable of a huge variety of tasks, from opening doors to disrupting electrical systems to large scale acts of destruction, as well as its apparently intended function as a diagnostic and healing device. Following the departure of Professor Paul Jordan at the end of the pilot film, Varian takes over as de facto leader to the travelers and adopts a parental role over Paul's teenage son, Scott (most notable in episodes such as "An Act of Love" and "Turnabout").
- Scott Jordan ( Ike Eisenmann ): "The 13-year-old son of a famous scientist", Scott has an excellent knowledge of Earth history and events, but is still young and has much to learn.
- Dr. Fred Walters ( Carl Franklin ): "A young doctor just out of medical school" whose impulsive and rather hot-headed nature acts as a counterpoint to the calm, pacifistic Varian. A friend of Scott's father and the only other member of the group from the same time period, the athletic black physician takes the role of protective "older brother" with the young teen.
- Liana ( Katie Saylor ): "Daughter of an Atlantean father and an extraterrestrial mother". The beautiful blonde Liana possessed greater than human physical strength due to her mother being from a planet with a higher gravity than Earth . (However, not much use was ever actually made of Liana's strength.) She also had powerful psychic abilities (presumably due to her mixed heritage) which allow her to, among other things, telepathically communicate with animals - especially her cat Sil-El. Saylor left the show after the episode "Turnabout" due to illness. In the next episode "Riddles" the reason for her not being present with the group was given that she opted to stay a few days at Coriel to help the inhabitants work out their new government and would catch up with the group later.
- Dr. Jonathan Willoway ( Roddy McDowall ): "Rebel scientist from the 1960s" who has a mastery of computers, robotics and scientific knowledge which is quite useful to the group. He is something of a never entirely trustworthy black sheep , basically a cooler version of Doctor Smith from Lost in Space without the congenital cowardice, who often tends to do things for his own mysterious reasons. Over the course of the episodes, however, the black-clad Willoway comes to care about Scott and his fellow travelers and becomes more integrated into the group, although Fred makes no secret about still not trusting him which leads to a bickering Spock / McCoy -style relationship between the two.
- Sil-El (The Felix Team [1] ): Liana's companion and pet, a " tuxedo cat " with which she can communicate telepathically and who sometimes scouts ahead for her, acting as an extra set of eyes and ears.
D. C. Fontana recalled that once the show had been commissioned, she and the producers had a very short period of time to develop and produce the show before filming commenced. Additional footage was shot and inserted into the pilot, introducing the Atlanteans, who are the focus of Episode 2. The addition of these scenes resulted in quickly moving off-screen the characters of Paul, Eve and Jill. They were originally intended to be regulars, but the network wanted a more diverse set of travelers. A subplot involving the group finding an Air Force pilot from the 1940s, held prisoner by 16th-century pirates, was removed from the first episode as well.
The character of Willoway was created with McDowall specifically in mind. The actor was interested, and took the role when it was offered.
The show benefited from more location filming than usual, with familiar sites such as the Hollywood Hills , Zuma Beach , the Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles, and Griffith Observatory appearing in various episodes.
Although it aired in a time when the nation's interest in the Bermuda Triangle , UFOs and fantasy was at a height, the show failed to find success. It was originally scheduled opposite The Waltons and Welcome Back, Kotter , both very popular family series, as a midseason replacement for another failed fantasy show in that time slot, Gemini Man . NBC would repeatedly preempt and move the series before finally giving up on it, after only ten of the twelve episodes that the network had ordered to follow the revised pilot had been produced. The script for an eleventh episode, "Romulus", was once available on the Internet. [2]
Within a few months of the abrupt end of production, several of the team that worked on the series would be producing the thematically similar Logan's Run for the 1977–1978 television season .

- The Fantastic Journey
The Fantastic Journey was an NBC American science fiction television show. There were ten episodes.
"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 show was the subject of Susan M. Garrett's first published fanfic .
