On Friday, September 15, 1995, a new fantasy drama titled StrangeLuck (yes, one word) premiered on Fox Broadcasting Corporation at 8 p.m.

Eastern and Pacific.

Created by Karl Schaefer, whose previous series credits included TV 101 (CBS, 1988-89) and Eerie, Indiana (NBC, 1991-92, with Jose Rivera), it told the tale—as presented in the main title voiceover—of one Chance Harper, survivor as an infant of a plane crash that wiped out his family.

The accident left him—or revealed him—to be a lifelong recipient of StrangeLuck.

Not good luck. Not bad luck.

Both, or either, depending on circumstances.
