Originally commissioned by CBS, Now and Again quickly became exactly the kind of show that viewers rearrange their evenings for. When insurance salesman and family man Michael Wiseman is killed in a subway accident, the U.S. Government preserves his brain and puts it into a new, genetically bio-engineered body that's young, attractive, and can do anything a superhero can do. But as a top-secret experiment and weapon, the new and improved Michael can never let his wife Lisa or daughter Heather know his true identity. It aired in 1999–2000. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Now and Again holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-season curiosities. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

The kind of show you put on in the background and find yourself actually paying attention to. It earns every laugh across its entire run — no coasting on goodwill. The comedy comes from character rather than situation, which means it holds up on rewatch in a way that pure farce never does. Eric Close sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. If The Boys is already in your rotation, Now and Again fits naturally alongside it.
