80's tv show about a time traveler?

Trying to think of the name of this show. It had a blondish sort of guy dressed in what appeared to be Will Turner's (Pirates of the Carabean) clothing. And he carried a gold compass that when pressed...he would travel through time usually falling from the sky and landing hard. The thing is..he wasn't too bright. He accidentally got a modern passenger. A 13yr old boy with dark curly hair that was a wiz at history. Anyone know this show?

That's called "Voyagers!" (1982-ish)

I've never seen it, but my husband talks about it all the time. He watched it as a kid and couldn't believe I'd never watched it.

The man's name was Phineas Bogg and the boy with him was named Jeffrey Jones. They would travel through time fixing things in history. Hope this helps! :)
