Matthew Fox starred in this spooky UPN series as Frank Taylor, an ex-cop whose career went down the tubes after his son was mysteriously kidnapped. After a disturbing out-of-body experience, Frank suddenly developed the ability to see -- and hear -- dead people. Some of these restless spirits were benevolent, helping Frank solve a variety of crimes. But others, notably the villainous wraith Simon (John Mann), hoped to use Frank's talents for evil rather than good. Curiously, none of the ghosts were of much help in locating Frank's missing son -- and, less curiously, in regard to standard TV-series formula, none of the ghosts could be seen or heard by the hero's ex-partner Marcus (Russell Hornsby) and ex-wife Jessica (Lynn Collins). Haunted first wafted its way across America's TV screens on September 24, 2002. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Middle-aged Frank Martin (Peter Onorati) is shocked when he meets his son Danny's (Fred Savage) new girlfriend, Jade (Sandrine Holt). The young lady is an exact double for a woman whom Frank rescued from a secret military lab 20 years before. Yes, there's a mystery afoot, but Frank will have to relive some extremely unpleasant memories before arriving at any sort of a solution. "Last Supper" originally aired on January 31, 1997. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Reporter Carter Jones (Ally Sheedy) accidentally overhears a telephone conversation relating to a recent disappearance of a prominent author. On the basis of the evidence in the phone call, Carter launches her own investigation of the case. Before long, she has been swept up in a deadly maelstrom of intrigue involving a sinister ocean voyage and a shadowy stranger (Michael Sarrazin) with violet eyes. Based on a short story by Catherine Weber, "I Hear You Calling" first aired on January 26, 1996. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Making its NBC debut with a two-hour TV movie on March 26, 1989, the weekly, 60-minute science fiction series Quantum Leap starred Scott Bakula as physicist Sam Beckett, who, as the result of a botched experiment, was sent hopscotching through time and space, "leaping" into the bodies of strangers. During the series' first season, Sam was confined to traveling within his own lifespan, which began with his birth in 1953; later on, however, he made an occasional jaunt into the 1940s. Though he was able to change the lives of the people whose bodies he had briefly "inherited," he was not permitted to alter the course of history. In the tradition of Here Comes Mr. Jordan and other soul-transmigration stories, Sam always looked like "himself" to the series' viewers, but those around him saw him as the person he was supposed to be. (This set-up provided some amusing moments whenever Sam leapt into the form of a woman -- and especially in one episode, in which he became a chimpanzee!) Throughout his cosmic perambulations and permutations, Sam was observed and advised by Admiral Al Calavicci (Dean Stockwell), who was seen as a holographic projection, and who kept in contact with "Ziggy," the computer controlling Sam's leaps, by means of a pocket-sized electronic device. Except in special cases, Al could be seen only by Sam. After five seasons on the air, Quantum Leap concluded on August 15, 1993, with a somewhat existentialist finale which brought things full circle -- and which, to many savvy viewers, invoked memories of the similar finale to the cult series The Prisoner. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
