Ten years after this episode aired, a show called Now & Again, premiered on CBS.  This show lasted only one year and even though it wasn't the most consistent of series in regards to its own mythology, the interaction between stars Eric Close and Dennis Haysbert and the quirky humor of the writing more than made up for it.  I wish it had gone beyond its one year or at least could have resolved the cliffhanger that was set up.

In the series, Close plays Michael Wiseman (actually played by John Goodman at first) who wakes up after being struck and killed by a subway.  His brain has been transplanted into a genetically created body.  Wiseman now works for the government, going on secret missions, while all the while longing to be with his wife and daughter who cannot ever find out he's alive.
