Strange Luck
Strange Luck is an American television series, 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.

Reviews
GenerationofSwine
Another review here compared this to Eerie Indiana, and honestly that is apt, the best possible description for a TV show that few people know actually existed.
And that's a shame, Sweeney is a John Cusack clone that has a Fox Mulder under-acted style, which transfers nicely to a show that is kind of comically out there and still skeptical.
Another reviewer called it Quirky, which is another apt review given that the writers found the time to add in little throw away instances of luck and coincidence as mundane as finding a penny while still focusing on the bigger story in the episode. It makes for quirky, tongue-in-cheek fun.
Unfortunately it was short lived, obscure, and darn near impossible to find today.
You've reached the end.
