Strange Luck is an American television series that aired on FOX, created by Karl Schaefer and starring D. B. Sweeney in the role of Chance Harper, a freelance photographer afflicted with a bizarre tendency to always be in the wrong place at the right time. As Chance himself says, "If I go to a restaurant, somebody chokes. If I walk into a bank, it gets robbed." Harper's strange luck began when, as a small child, he was the sole survivor of a plane crash that killed everyone else aboard, including both of his parents.
The series aired on Fox from 1995 to 1996. A total of seventeen episodes were produced before the show was canceled due to low ratings. Reruns were shown briefly on the Sci Fi Channel in 1997.

[edit] Popular Culture Reference
Episode 11, "Brothers Grim," featured a reference to the character Fox Mulder from the Fox television series The X-Files, establishing that the two shows may have been set in the same fictional "universe". Chance's brother makes the reference in a letter wherein he asks Chance to contact an FBI agent by the name of "Muldur" in the event of anything suspicious happening to him. X-Files producers, however, claimed to be unaware of any connection, and it may also have been an homage to a successful show by the producers of Strange Luck, after the series' own cancellation.
