The first one was a pilot that showed on CBS (I think.) They had some kind of summer "pilot shows" program, where they may have asked for phone-in votes about the shows. I believe this was around 10 years ago or so. The show involved a scientist? working on matter teleportation (Star Trek transporters) who accidently beamed himself into a military robot in the same lab. The robot was absorbed into his body, and when "bad guys" were chasing him, the robot morphed his arm into the robotic arm and fired a laser out of its finger.

The second show involved a couple who had died, and were trying to help some friends who could see their ghosts (or maybe the dead people were sent back with physical bodies, but only certain people could see them.) I remember one episode with "Earth Angel" playing on the soundtrack (or even the theme song?), where they were trapped in an empty underground storage tank, and they escaped by taking the gunpowder out of some cartridges, wrapping it in gum, sticking it to the hinges of the hatch, and then shooting it with the last cartridge. This show was probably also about 10-15 years ago.

EDIT: There was a third show on Fox? about the time of The Sentinel, which had a man running from an Illuminati-type secret society, and he barely stayed a step ahead of them.

... das? Do you have any idea what he's talking about?

You ought to try and email the TV geek.

Put "Stump the King!" in the subject line

I emailed him a question awhile back and he knew the answer right away.

Nowhere Man ?

That would be it... I was going to change it from Fox to UPN when I checked back in the thread, but you got the name for me.

In nowhere man Tom Veil was running from people in the government over a photo he took of the military hanging some people

Yeppers, here's the poop from imdb: http://us.imdb.com/Plot?0112104

Plot Summary for "Nowhere Man" (1995)

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.

was there a conclusion to that show ir did it just ....dissappear?

The first show was "Infiltrator," which ironically enough, starred Scott Bakula. This link lists some other shows that bit the dust after the pilot airing.

As for "Nowhere Man," the showed got cancelled and thus, Tom Veil's plight was never resolved. It was one of my favorite shows at the time, too.

I think the couple were Kate Jackson and her then husband Andrew Stevens doing a remake of 'Topper' in 1979. It was a pilot esp after 'Charles Angels' was cancelled. Then she divorced him and did 'Scarecrow and Mrs. King'.

From the link:

9. "Poochinski" (NBC, July 9, 1990, 30 minutes) Stanley Poochinski is a tough, ill-mannered cop who has been gunned down in the line of duty and reincarnated as a talking, flatulent English bulldog, now fighting crime on all fours with his former partner.


And they say there is nothing good on TV...

I don't *think* this is it, although I may be wrong. I am pretty sure that the one I was describing isn't more than 10 or 15 years old. I also don't *think* it is Earth Angel ('91 TV movie) although I do recall the song "Earth Angel" playing. Is there a way to find which shows have licensed a particular song?

Manimal?
