This is a quality show that, if you haven't checked out you should. As mentioned, an overweight loving family man insurance executive is one day killed in a freak subway accident. Due to sci fi hi jinks he is brought back to life in a "premade" body of the 26 year old Eric Close. But he cannot tell his family or anyone else of the situation.
The best aspect of this show is the "longing" between the husband wanting to be with his family and the family finding something so comforting about this young 26 year old - while also mourning their family member. It is good to see a hawt young guy with an "older" woman. There is also a good subplot about the doctor who is in charge of the program coming to care for his 'experiment" while at the same time needing to be stern with him.
The show was canceled after one year but I think that was wise. I think the plot wrote them into a corner. Toward the end of the episodes you could see they were having trouble coming up with reasons for the man character to interact with his old life and some of the "mystery of the week" plots were becoming strained. A lot of it didn't make a ton of sense.. for instance a top secret government installation on the upper east side of NYC? Not likely.
