Daybroken

Well ABC has decided to take a nice steaming Christmas dump on those (few) who were enjoying the hell out of their series "Daybreak." The show which starred Taye Diggs as a cop framed for murder and forced to relive the same day until he could clear his name has been pulled from the network's schedule.

The ratings have been low for the show but when a network starts a series like "Daybreak," which they touted would run from start of the story to finish, and then kills it midway through they are really fucking themselves in the long run. Why should I start watching any "serialized" show that runs on ABC from here on out?

Word is that episodes of "Daybreak" will show up on ABC's website but that doesn't cut it. I'll sit through clips of stuff online but it's not the way I like to engage myself with hour long television shows. To watch something online for more than 10 minutes makes no sense if it won't end with multiple money shots. Hopefully the show will find a home on DVD.

You may have noticed the picture with this entry featuring the cast of "According to Jim." That's because this Wednesday at 9PM, "Daybreak's" former time slot, you can catch repeats of Jim Belushi's fascinating examination of the modern family. Joy to the world indeed.
