After looking around the archive at different shows from yesteryear, I remembered Nowhere Man. When I saw the show, it had a strange soothing quality while also offering up a healthy dose of intrigue. Most episodes delivered a fair amount of serious additions to the story arch while also entertaining the lighter side with an odd low-key quirkiness that never tainted the plot. All characters were interesting, even down to the bit and episodic characters.
As of now, I have no real feedback on why this show was canceled, but it was definitely not because of quality. Even the guest stars were top-notch. As UPN was a new network, they weren't afraid to try slightly experimental concepts which gave us this pleasantly rough gem. Unfortunately, they went the way of CBS and amputated their own ingenuity - replacing it with quick sells while searching for the next "hit." More than half a decade later, no show has since matched the genuine and original mystery and intrigue of Nowhere Man.
