Here's one that--from all the blank stares I get when I mention it--I may have been the only person in the continental U.S. who ever saw an episode.
Strange Luck was a show that starred D.B. Sweeney as Chance Harper, a fellow whose life was in constant turmoil because of the bizarre and inexplicable luck that follows him; sometimes good, sometimes bad, always extraordinary.
I fell in love with Chance Harper seven minutes into the first episode, when he raised his camera and started taking pictures as he was falling off the top of a 13 story building. As he explained to the police later, “I was already falling. I figured, what the hell?”
Some months before that, I was joy riding in a Cessna with an inexperienced pilot and we lost contact with the tower. Not having learned yet to watch the windsocks when the radio is out, the pilot approached the runway from the wrong direction. It was a very rocky landing, and we almost ran off the asphalt. Nearly certain that a crash was imminent, I grabbed my camera and began taking pictures, thinking, “I may die, but at least I’ll get some great shots on the way out!”
Well, we neither died nor crashed that day, but when I later saw Chance Harper on Strange Luck having virtually the same response to danger that I had, I had to love the guy.

You weren't quite the ONLY person to watch Strange Luck - I really liked it too, although I didn't have quite the same connection to it that you did!
