Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Now and Again was a 1999 CBS Science Fiction show. After New York Everyman Michael Wiseman is killed in a subway accident, the U.S. government steals his brain for use in a top secret project to create the perfect specimen. The justification being that although the body could be created, the mind turned out to be more complicated.Michael is put to work for the government in a new life as Michael Newman, a modern-day Six Million Dollar Man. There's just one catch - he can never contact anyone from his past again. Fate, however, seems to have a way of bringing them together.The program featured Eric Close as Michael Wiseman and Dennis Haysbert as Dr. Theodore Morris, but its cancellation would leave them free to move on to their most defining roles - Close as an agent on Without a Trace and Haysbert as President David Palmer on 24 (or the Allstate insurance spokesman, take your pick).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The show was cancelled after one season, with high production costs cited as the reason for its cancellation. It was released on DVD in August 2014.

Berserk Button: Threaten Michael's wife Lisa and/or daughter Heather. He convinces Theo to let him get Lisa his life insurance claim in The Insurance Man Always Rings Twice, getting himself hired by Craig Spence, th agent who denied the claim to infiltrate the company and figure out how to make the payment. Then he finds out that Spence is intentionally withholding the claim strictly to hurt his family out of spite because Michael was honest about a bridge collapse and forced the company to pay up. Hearing that, he's well and truly tempted to kill Spence. This is pretty significant given how unwilling he was to kill in the episode before it. Then, in that same episode, he goes even farther by tricking the slimeball out on a window ledge, dangling him over the ledge and tossing his "suicide note" down to the street - and tells Spence that unless he pays Lisa Wiseman's claim, he might not be able to hold on.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })
