Nowhere Man would be on my list too. The scene where he convinces his wife that he really is time travelling (digging, in front of her, her engagement ring, which she’d handed to him that morning, out from where it had been buried under their pool for 20 years) was superb.
My wife still refers to that season as “the lost Fall” since there was a TV show I wanted to watch on every night of the week. Spent a lot of time in the basement rec room. Hadn’t had a TV season like that before, or since.
I loved Nowhere Man, and I remember the scene you mentioned, and yes, superb it was!!
The whole series was fascinating. I remember the episode where the Nowhere Man is watching the entire nightmare he was living unfold on TV in front of his eyes, only the producers used different actors to play the Nowhere Man and his wife. Very weird...
And the “cable tv” episode, where people were being brainwashed by their cable system..as soon as I saw that episode, I knew the series was gonna go off the air...it hit too close to home!!!!!!!
