    Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
    Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
    ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
    Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
    Mac The first television show I ever wanted to own. At the end of every episode it left you in awe and wanting more. Which is why I enjoyed this show, I could not believe how an episode could possibly end in such a manner worthy of a season finale every time. This show did what "24" currently does and what Alias use to do. Hands down the best show ever canceled after one season. Nowehere Man's potential was great; unfortunately UPN did not have the sense to see the obvious. I still own a VHS cassette tape with several recorded episodes of this show. That's ten years. It's about time Nowhere Man will become available to us, it has been worth the wait.
    mikesotheremail12345 I was, or am rather a fan of this show and was stunned as well that it never made season 2. Just go's to show how when people start getting paranoid after watching a TV show how close to their actual fears of something similar in real life could be. It made people think of the possibilities that some OTHER people would rather they not think of. Shows Like Nowhere Man and The X-files are intelligent and forward thinking and there are simply not enough Chris Carters out there to bring them to the screen unfortunately,but we can always hope. Todays world is full of questions that these shows dared to ask when no one else would. Rather you believe "they are out to get you", or "What is that mysterious lighted object streaking through a wheat feild in southern england ? " not all things fiction are 100% products of things we make up in our minds eye. It begs the question, how much of it IS fiction how much is not ? I find for myself what truth is based on the observations i make, and partially on the observations of others. Thomas Vail and Fox Mulder are the Quentessential idols for the quest for truth.It is Out there...WE must go find it.
    skoyles While all of us who were hooked by this series probably still mourn its passing almost all the plaudits are, directly or otherwise, in reference to the concept or the writing. Both of these were indeed superb; however one aspect seems to have been overlooked. I doubt if there is another actor alive who could have brought to the character of Thomas Veil the precise qualities brought by Bruce Greenwood. He was simply perfect for the role. Combining appeal, intelligence and a certain "je ne sais quoi" of seeming a quarter of a bubble off, a semi-tone out, a tiny percentage off the beat and yet also perfectly normal. While everything else was terrifying, strange and unfathomable Greenwood was the sympathetic Everyman caught up in peculiar events and yet he himself is also peculiar. The audience can thus identify with Thomas Veil both as just like us and also as like us when we feel slightly bent. Greenwood conveyed this as probably no one else could. Should he not have won a Best Actor Emmy?
    culturshoklewis You read the summary of the show only to see another Net, Matrix, Prisoner blah blah blah. Yet Nowhere Man was in fact one of the most original television shows in 1995. Yes it had all the trappings of a man on the run without an identity, but it told several stories which delved into the human condition more than Twin Peaks or X-Files or the three previously mentioned stories. It dealt with a number of seemingly unrealistic situations in an everyday manor and vice versa. Touchstone Television produced this series, and industry sources tell us Buena Vista has licensed it to Image Entertainment, who will produce the DVDs along with Davis-Panzer Productions for release by year's end. Look for all 25 episiodes, digitally remastered, plus extras like deleted scenes,and interviews and/or commentary tracks from Creator/Exec Producer Lawrence Herzog, Co-Exec Producer Joel Surnow, star Bruce Greenwood and more.Remember, this is all "rumor mill" stuff right now, and none of the companies involved have made any announcements. Stay tuned and we'll have more for you as time goes."Link to this page: http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=3205
