Run for Your Life (NBC 1965-1968, Ben Gazzara)

Paul Bryan was a lawyer who discovered he had an incurable disease and will die in two years. Realizing he’d never have another chance, Bryan set out to do all the things he had wanted to do during his life but never gotten around to.

An anthology series tied together only by the main character, each week Bryan would travel to a different locale and meet with new people, and end up helping them with their problems.
