Nowhere Man/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Needs More Love: A weird inversion as when it aired the show was fairly popular and liked by critics. However UPN was apparently a suicidal network.
  • Paranoia Fuel: Oh dear god, where to begin?
  • Too Good to Last: The show was cancelled after one season, despite being the highest rated program on the network.
  • Vindicated by History: Nowhere Man had a dense, continuing plotline which was full of baffling, sometimes borderline surreal mysteries and twists, designed to spur debate among viewers. The network hated this, on the grounds that it was too confusing for viewers. A decade later, Lost would become one of the biggest hits in TV history by using a similar format.
