Strange Luck
Chance Harper has the strangest way of being in the wrong place at the right time. Everyday of his life.
Strange Luck is an American television series, starring D. B.

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.

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.
