Bruce Greenwood stars as documentary photographer Thomas Veil who, in the course of one evening, seemingly has his whole existence erased, in the compelling one-hour drama Nowhere Man. It appears as if some mysterious and powerful entity has coerced Veil's family and friends into cooperating in a clandestine plan to annul every trace of him. Veil is all alone with no option but to begin a desperate, dangerous quest to find out how and why this has happened and most importantly, who is behind this torturous scheme.
too good to be allowed to remain on TV

I didn't even want to watch TNG when they came out. My sons kept begging me to, and explaining it.

OB is great, and yes, I would call it sci-fi in the same vein as the 6 million dollar man.

I would've nominated "Ice Pirates" just for the battle scene taking place in the time warp.

Jericho shouldn't be on the list -- that was just a post-apocalypse survivor series
