AboutMike Hensel Expertise I will try and answer all questions dealing with television...show names, plots, actors, roles, networks, etc...US shows primarily; not real knowledgeable on TV from other countries...I lean heavily into past, more so than current, television...and, my knowledge dealing with "reality" shows is limited, due to the fact that I really can't stand the genre (my apologies to all the "Reality" fans out there...)

Question What television series episode featured a man stuck in a time loop, where he returned to the median of a busy city street every one or few hours? In the course of the brief period, he finds news reports of a space-time phenomenon affecting Earth. In the final loop of the show, he tracks down the scientist to ask him/her how to get out of the loop. When he is told there is no way out, he takes a gun from a nearby guard or cop and shoots himself, only to go back to the busy street where he started. I saw this on TV in the late 80s or early 90s. Thanks!
Answer Sounds like my kind of show, Aaron...
However, I don't recall that particular premise... it sounds to me like a TV-movie or an episode of an anthology show; I can't see that plot being in a continuing series, especially with the ending you mention...
I'll do more research on anthologies from around that time frame and see what I can come up with..
In the meantime, if you recall anything more on it, actor or character names, network or day you might have seen it, etc., please follow-up here...
