Now and Again

John Goodman portrayed Michael Wiseman in his original body only in the pilot episode and in subsequent flashback scenes, while Eric Close played the character after his brain was transplanted into a new, engineered body.

Wrestler Mick Foley made a guest appearance in the series finale as the Eggman's prison cellmate, helping him escape.

Ian Somerhalder and Mark Margolis both appeared as guest stars in individual episodes of the series.

Beginning with the tenth episode, actor Charles Durning provided a brief spoken narration at the start of each episode to summarize the show's backstory for viewers.

Each episode of the series cost $2.4 million to produce, a factor CBS cited alongside low ratings when explaining the show's cancellation after one season.

Airing on Friday nights, the show was frequently preempted, which contributed to its fair ratings and eventual cancellation despite averaging 6.3 million viewers for the 1999–2000 season.

Now and Again won three Saturn Awards in 2000, for Best Genre TV Actress (Margaret Colin), Best Genre TV Supporting Actor (Dennis Haysbert), and Best Network Television Series, and was also nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Main Title Design.

The 2014 DVD release of the complete series featured a nearly two-hour retrospective documentary with interviews from almost all leading cast and crew, except John Goodman, and the packaging noted that the music had been changed for the home entertainment version.
