Tomorrow marks the long anticipated DVD release of Now and Again: The Complete Series.
From the creator of Moonlighting and Medium, Glenn Gordon Caron,Now and Again: The Complete Series includes all 22 episodes of the series, along with all-new bonus material exclusive to the collection.
Insurance salesman and family man Michael Wiseman (John Goodman) is tragically killed in a subway accident, leaving behind his wife (Margaret Colin) and daughter (Heather Matarazzo). Little do they know that the U.S. government, with the help of Dr. Theo Morris (Dennis Haysbert), preserved his brain and inserted it into a new, genetically bio-engineered body (Eric Close) to use as a top-secret weapon. Artificially created for physical perfection and superhero strength and agility, the new and improved Michael – with Morris as his mentor – takes on deadly terrorists, corrupt agents, killer bugs, and an extremely dangerous international criminal known as “the Egg Man.” However, Michael can never let his wife and daughter know his true identity, and is forced to watch from the shadows as they grieve for the man he used to be.
After the jump, check out an exclusive clip of the DVD sets bonus material where the creative team discuss where the series would have developed in it’s second season.
