All i remember about this was that there was a team of scientists who were able to go into people's dream to help them or something. They were helping a guy who was terrorised in his dreams by Bag Man. That was a cool episode. I wish i taped it cuz i don't remember much else.
shareI actually watched the few episodes that showed up on TV, and was disappointed that they pulled the plug so quickly.
I guess when a show makes people think too hard, it won't be watched, which is a shame.
Made people think too hard? About what? Cliches? Bad music and acting? Sorry, but I just couldn't get into this show. Neat idea, though.
shareDespite the limited production values, I really liked Sleepwalker's concept, and was major pissed when NBC cancelled it after just two episodes. Looking back, I can't believe that was it was none other than THE gorgeous (pre-famous) Naomi Watts on that show. I think Sleepwalkers is worth being recycled into a major Hollywood movie. Who knows, now that Naomi is an A-list Hollywood star, she could reprise her role. Things coming full circle and all that.
Strength of mind, force of will...
Remember "The Cell" with Jennifer Lopez? It was the exact story of Sleepwalkers : Phase 3, just with bigger budget and three years later.
shareSorry, ever hear of DREAMSCAPE ? It covered the same topics/plot as THE CELL and Sleepwalkers plus it had DAVID PATRICK KELLY as "SNAKEMAN"!
shareI agree. The show was "cool" and very unique. Rarely do I attempt to write
a network and/or call them about a show being cancelled (most shows are not
worth the effort), but this time I called the network and actually spoke to
someone fairly high up who was brave enough to tell me that the show was not
given a chance because "some people in high places didn't like it and some of
the people associated with it's production"(I was afraid to ask who). I also
wrote a letter to the (then) head of NBC. I never got a response. What a
surprise--
NBC has a history of cancelling shows that had great potential (in my opinion, anyway).
Sleepwalkers was just one of them - one of many.
I really wish they'd release every episode that was produced of this series, even the un-aired episodes. I'd buy it.
