Plot

Phineas Bogg (Jon-Erik Hexum) was one of a society of time travelers called Voyagers who, with the help of a young boy named Jeffrey Jones (played by Meeno Peluce) used a hand-held device called an Omni (which looked much like a large pocket watch) to travel in time and ensured that history unfolded as we know it. In the first episode Jeffrey ensured that baby Moses' basket traveled down the Nile where it was met by the Pharaoh's daughter.

Bogg and Jeffrey first met when Bogg's Omni malfunctioned and took him to 1982, landing him in the apartment of Jeffrey's aunt and uncle, who were caring for him after his parents' death. Jeffrey accidentally fell out of a window, and Bogg jumped out to rescue him by activating the Omni. Bogg's Guidebook, which contained a detailed description of how history should unfold, had been grabbed by Jeffrey's dog Ralph so Bogg had to rely on Jeffrey (whose father was a history professor) to help him.

Phineas is timeless in his machismo, and manages to fall for a beautiful woman in almost every episode. Whenever Jeffrey's wisdom is paired up against Bogg's stubbornness, Jeffrey usually wins out, to which Bogg always mutters, "Smart kids give me a pain!"

Over the closing credits of each episode, regular cast member Meeno Peluce said in voice over: "If you want to learn more about, take a voyage down to your public library. It's all in books!"
