A few I can think of: * Middleman - Pop Culture Nostalgia meta show where the humor always involved lampshading how crazy the scenarios were. Got canceled because ABC Family marketed it to kids, but it aimed at college age adults or elder millennials. * John Doe - Guy wakes up with no memory of who he is, but has the entirety of human knowledge in his mind. Cancelled by Fox. * Now and Again - John Goodman dies and his brain is put into the body of an experimental super soldier. He can’t reveal his identity to his family who thinks he’s dead.
Shout to Jake 2.0 which was effectively a failed 1 season show, but Chuck succeeded with a similar premise. (Normal guy is infected with a Spy supercomputer and gets superpowers).
