Drôle de chance

Will whoever owns this series please release it for streaming. I would certainly buy it. It was a one of a kind show and, though it survived for only one season, I have never forgotten this charming, quirky, and exciting series. As Variety noted at the time: "In "Strange Luck," Fox Broad-casting Co. programmers have come up with a nifty lead-in for "The X-Files." Whether it will click with viewers is anyone's guess, but pairing this slickly produced oddball hour with the web's paranormal Friday hit seems a smartbet."

Give us the "Chance" to watch again.

...but I guess the ratings weren't good enough to keep it on the air. If "they" were to put the episodes on a DVD, I would certainly pick up a copy (or two) and share it with those who didn't get the "Chance" to see it.

If it ever comes to some cable channel in reruns, you should try and catch it.

This show was one of the many casualties Fox incurred when they shifted X-FILES to Sundays and tried to fill it's old Friday slot with more quirky shows. This show was great but Fox forgot that X-Files took time to build an audience; they canceled it after less than 10 airings, I believe. DB Sweeney and Francis Fisher were very appealing, but the real star was THE WRITING! Clever plots, centering on luck and coincidence, and good dialog.

I guess Fox didn't think it was a REAL network until they started killing potential late-breakout hits with early cancellation decisions... the one moronic TRUE indicator of a network exec at work!

I was a real fan of this show. I first watched it because it came before The X-Files. Gradually, I got caught up in the whole mythology of this show, too. It had all the quirkiness, great characters, and paranoia that made the X-Files great. There were even hints of a crossover episode (as there was, recently, with X-Files and Millennium). Then suddenly, there was a reveal-all episode and the series ended on a sour note. What happened? How could such a fun show not have gotten the needed ratings? Let's have a moment of silence for a creative show that could have been so much more.

I remember watching this show when it was first on. D.B. Sweeney was a photographer who had "strange luck." It didn't matter if it

was good or bad. It was just "strange." The plot revolves around Chance Harper, or Alex Sanders, and his search for his identity. As a child, Chance/Alex, survived a plane crash in which everyone on board, including his mother, were killed. Too bad it was

canceled. It was just starting to get good.
