Truly Dreadful Film

Did you people see the same film I saw?

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Network suits! Why can't we get rid of these people. Along the same line as those wise souls that said "Oh, and Mr. Rodenberry, get rid of the guy with the ears." This show wasn't just science fiction. It was an view of love existing past death. Along the line of "Damn Yankees", it poses the question, if you got everything you wanted, would you give up everything you loved? OK Wiseman is a middle aged insurance exec. Passed over for a promotion, he gets soused and is accidentally/ on purpose? knocked into the path of a subway. Recovering consciousness, he is offered a proposition: he is legally dead, but his brain was able to be recovered intact. Now would he like to be allowed to die for good, or participate in a secret government program to inhabit an artificially created body of the perfect soldier? I would still like to see a movie to wrap up the story like Firefly/Serenity, but that would require someone with vision, sadly lacking in Hollywood.

This is a really good show. I wonder if it's because there isn't too much action in it. It's more about the characters, really. This is one of those TV shows that shouldn't have gotten the axe so soon.Even a bigger headache for those who loved this show is that the one and only season had to have ended in a cliffhanger with some unresolved subplots.

This was a great fun series when broadcast here in the UK on the Sci-Fi channel.The character development and interplay between characters and their logical progession throughout the series was very good. Eric Close was the star of the show in more ways than one, his was by far and away the most believeable persona and one could really empathize with his situation (despite the fact it was scientifically ridiculous - so was the Six Million Dollar Man and that didn't exactly flop!) mainly because he played the role so well, the fact that he's seriously cute has nothing to do with it!I think the show had the wrong name and the wrong theme music which is perhaps why they dropped it - not very memorable at all. Maybe they should have ditched the guy who agreed to the series name & theme music instead of the series.If you're lucky enough to get a chance to watch it, do. It's not going to place any great demands on your cerebrum, instead it's a gentle breeze of pleasing entertainment with a nice dry undercurrent of humour which the whole family could watch (I don't remember there having been any bad words!).I hope they bring it out on DVD because if they do, I'd buy it.

The cancellation of this show made me anti-CBS for LIFE. It was easily the best thing they had on at the time and they chose to trash it on what was basically a whim.This show managed to be incredible without sinking to the level most current 'dramas' do. It was well-written with a great balance of pain and humor and AMAZINGLY well acted by every cast member without any exceptions. Eric Close excelled as a man who truly loved his family (a concept rarely seen on TV these days!) and through a freak accident and even freakier survival is forced not to contact the wife and daughter who believe him to be dead. He also happens to be 'superhuman' as a result and subject to the whim of the scientists who 'created' his superhuman body.No episode contained any sex, violence, or language that would put it above a PG level (possibly not even G level) but it was entirely entertaining regardless.Shame on CBS for abandoning this show before it had time to truly shine. I'll certainly never accuse the executives there of intelligence or foresight!
