Behind the Scenes
|
|
| • | ABC initially ordered 13 episodes of the series but scaled it back to eight late in production. As a result, the writers had to quickly adjust the last episode script. |
|
|
| • | Traveler was initially going to air earlier in the season but was pushed back a couple times by ABC. The network had little faith in it, likely because of the poor performance of most other serial dramas in the 2006-07 season. |
|
|
| • | The series debuted to a disappointing 5.0 million viewers and dropped to a low of 3.7 million during its short run. |
