Help me identify this sci-fi show (pre-1998) - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Please help me title a series I saw years ago. I think it was before 1998. On a major network, 60 min. in length.

The main character was a middle aged police officer (husband/father) injured in the line of duty. The doctors put his consciousness into a younger body, but he was instructed to not tell his family who he really was. Though he was much younger than his spouse, he still loved her, and kept near her and his daughter.

Once in awhile he would almost tell her who he was, but he didn't let on because he'd end up being separated from her if he did.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

That was called "Now and Again" it starred Eric Close (Dark Skies, Without a Trace) it was produced by Glenn Gordon Caron (Moonlighting, Medium) and ran on CBS (and 10 in Australia).

Here's the TV.com page
Now & Again

BTW the middle aged agent in the pilot was John Goodman!
