I've struggled for some time to remember the name of a tv show i saw a few times late at night here in the UK and i was hoping someone could help,

It's an american or canadian tv show about a man whos mind gets transferred back into his teenage self in the 80's , and the japes and adventures he has being a teenager with all kinds of foreknowledge of events.

Anyone?

Thanks

    Sounds similar to The Wonder Years, but not quite the same.

    I know the show you're talking about. It only had like, six episodes or so. It had Rewind in the title, I believe.

    The guy, who works at a paper company if I'm not mistaken, wakes up as himself as a teenager back in the 80's, right? He has two friends, one a girl?

    For some reason I keep remembering the guys voice as Steve Martin's, however I could be completely wrong (and a quick look at imdb shows that I probably am).

    It sounds like Do Over, as listed above. Only a few episodes aired before it got canceled. The one I remember of the top of my head is when the lead character was writing/performing a song for school. He was going to use a Green Day song, but decided at the last moment to use a song he'd actually written himself.

    May also be "Second Chance" from 1987, starring Matthew Perry. A guy dies and is sent back to help his younger self. It only made it one season.

    Your show sounds more like "Do Over", but I want you to have all of your options.

    There was actually a similar show on a different network at the same time. It got cancelled very quickly too. One of the shows, I forget which one, had the son bet his father on the Miracle on ice, and that his mom invented fanny packs.
