And John Doe, apparently, is able to be every man and do anything because he knows everything. It also seems like things that are of immediate importance are seen in color, whereas everything else is in black and white. Bit of psi powers perhaps?

Nowhere Man struck me as semi-lame attempt to redo that 60s paranoid classic, The Prisoner. There were some original elements, but not enough to impress me.
Oh dear,
Them's fighting words pilgrim (sorry for the delay but I wanted to comment on this thread and I've been gone for the last three days)
. Nowhere Man wasn't a semi-lame attempt to recreate The Prisoner, but rather a very cleverly written continuation of the concept (and before you ask, yes I did see The Prisoner, I'd get the DVDs if the set up wasn't designed to be so cost draining). Also, one of the main writers was Jane Espenson (back in her pre-Buffy days when she was doing brilliant work that very few people actually got to see) so its at least good by definition .Nathan

The Fugitive was original, dating back 40 years. These new incarnations are pathetic at best.
How can you not like Futurama? With all it's glory
If you know anyone that can help my screenwriting career, please help! And yes, I am self-advertising here. Hehehe, me such a little devil.

Futurama too often??? It's rarely on anyways.
The Simpsons now just plain out suck. 
It once was my favorite show. Until Mike Scully took over showrunning duties.
