==Plot== Phineas Bogg ([[Jon-Erik Hexum]]) is one of a society of time travelers called Voyagers, who with the help of a young boy named Jeffrey Jones (played by [[Meeno Peluce]]) from 1982, uses a hand-held device called an Omni (which looks like a large [[pocket watch]]) that flashes red when history is wrong and green when the timeline is corrected, to travel in time and ensure that history unfolds correctly. Bogg and Jeffrey first met when Bogg's Omni malfunctioned and took him to 1982 (the device was not supposed to reach any later than 1970), landing him in the skyscraper apartment of Jeffrey's aunt and uncle, who were caring for him after his parents' deaths. Bogg's guidebook, which contained a detailed description of how history was supposed to unfold, was grabbed by Jeffrey's dog Ralph, and in the struggle to retrieve it, Jeffrey accidentally fell out his bedroom window and Bogg jumped out to rescue him by activating the Omni. With his guidebook stuck in 1982, Bogg (who, being more interested in girls than in history, apparently never paid much attention in his Voyager training/history classes) had to rely on Jeffrey, whose father had been a history professor, to help him. Jeffrey's knowledge proved invaluable; for example, in the first episode, Jeffrey ensured that baby [[Moses]]' basket traveled down the [[Nile]], where it was met by the [[Pharaoh's daughter (Exodus)|Pharaoh's daughter]]. Phineas is a great womanizer and manages to fall for a beautiful woman in almost every episode. Whenever Jeffrey's wisdom was paired up against Bogg's stubbornness, Jeffrey usually wins out, to which Bogg would always mutter, "Smart kids give me a pain!" Another [[catchphrase]] used by Bogg as an [[Profanity|expletive]] was "Bat's breath!"<ref name="tshalestwp">{{cite news|last=Shales|first=Tom|authorlink=Tom Shales|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1982/10/02/vivacious-voyagers/8389058f-2d9e-48ef-8285-0b0c5012a312/|title=Vivacious 'Voyagers!'|newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]|date=October 2, 1982|access-date= March 4, 2020}}</ref> They develop a strong relationship and become a formidable team. In the course of their adventures together, they sometimes encounter other Voyagers whose missions happened to overlap with theirs. As revealed later in the series, despite Jeffrey's age and the accidental circumstances of his first encounter with Phineas, he was always destined to become a Voyager. Over the [[closing credits]] of each episode, regular cast member Meeno Peluce said in [[voice-over]]: "If you want to learn more about [historical element from the episode], take a voyage down to your public library. It's all in books!"
