Day Break

[june]

Hello All,

Anyone seen this on Wed? I liked it and will watch the remainibg 11 shows.

I didn't watch it myself, though I sure saw the previews for it, lol.

Hmmm. Missed this one. What's it about?

It's interesting so far.

Its "Groundhog Day," with Taye Diggs as Bill Murray, if Bill was a cop and elaborately framed for murder.

It has Adam Baldwin in it. :T You have to give it a try. :B

Thanks Jacob, I will.

So the shows slipped under with little fanfare. I was hooked,which for me means I caught 3 of the 4-5 aired episodes.So a few weeks go by and it slowly sinks in no ads no new episodes...ah,Daybreaks been cancelled :M .

I go online to ABC to confirm this (I don't sub to TV guide or keep up with entertainment news)yep it got the axe.

Lo and behold...ABC paid for the season so 2hr pilot+11shows contract was fulfilled.
Gets better...the remaining episodes are up on ABC stream in hi-res.
Downside,the high rez viewer size is about that of a portible DVD.
Upside,excellent picture quality,stream best daytime or weekends(you need hi-speed conn).For each episode you must click a 'resume' after a 30 sec sponsor ad,nice part is they put a countdown timer there to see.

Here's the cream&sugar...they "completed the entire storyline"...you read me right! Approx 9 1/2 hours of great online sound and picture quality (sit close)
of a great for TV series.
It has some surprise twists, a fantastic homage to "Groundhog Day" episode.
Then ties up all the loose ends except one lil' final twist that if you think about it is answered by Hopper's exerience.
Think of it as 10 hour mini series.So for me one of the more memorable shows to be on TV wasn't.

Sorry for the long post,but I just have to FYI fans at any level...that this beats out long run shows that toss a small bone to fans in thier final curtain.
If you have a good connection you won't be sorry.
