I was riveted as I watched the advance preview Traveler, and I just couldn’t even blink for one second.  It was that good.  This is so unique in terms of the story line, and how it integrates with our current situation here in The United States.

This is definitely going to be the next blockbuster hit for ABC.  And I can’t wait until May 30 when it finally starts its first episode.  Technically, tonight’s episode was the first episode.  And oh if you missed tonight’s episode, just hope someone had it on TiVo because it was just too damn good to miss.

SYNOPSIS: (via ABC) Jay, Tyler and Will are friends who have spent the last two years in grad school. They are about to depart on a summer trip when a simple prank to rollerblade through one of New York City’s most famous museums makes Jay and Tyler prime suspects in a terrorist bombing that destroys the museum seconds later. Hopeful that Will can help clear up this misunderstanding, they learn he’s been missing since the explosion and think he may be dead. They’re unable to turn to authorities when they realize they can’t prove Will even exists. In every photo from the past two years, he has managed to block his face.

Who will believe them? Friends, family, lovers? The boys are pawns in a conspiracy that will take years to unravel, and the government may not have their best interests at heart. Their friendship will be tested like never before as they try to uncover the truth, while avoiding detection of not only the FBI, but everyone in America who has seen their faces on TV as suspects in the bombing.

What’s so great about the show is the way it flashes back to the two years that the three friends were together.  It looks to me like something in the footsteps of “Lost”, and you just get the sense that this is going to be an evening action soap opera that you can’t miss.

It’s official, I’m the newest fan of Traveler!
