One of the best-written and crafted pilots of the season, Now and Again comes close to being truly great. [11 Sep 1999]

Despite the echo of a hokey past, the quirky Now and Again is one of the season's most appealing shows, largely because it grafts its Frankenstein plot onto a romance: the hard-bodied hero has a mind that still yearns for his middle-aged wife.

It's a creaky TV concept, but stylishly freshened by Caron. [12 Sep 1999]
