On Our TV

I just read over at sfsignal (via sfgate) that Day Break has been cancelled.

sfgate says:

Viewers will be able to follow “Day Break” online at ABC.com, at least for now. Thirteen episodes of the show were produced but an ABC spokeswoman wasn’t sure if all remaining episodes would be available at the web site.

At least for now??? What about the fans who want to see all thirteen episodes? I mean really… the networks give us new shows all the time and cancel them all the time. But when they cancel a serial show like Day Break, the viewers are left in the dark.

ABC - you really need to show all 13 episodes online. And all of you other networks out there: FOX, CBS, NBC, etc. you need to do the same thing for your loyal viewers.

What’s that old saying… “The customer is always right.”

In this week’s episode there were somre real interesting happenings. Here are some of my notes on last night’s episode of Day Break, “What if they find him?”:

Favorite Moments
Many of the dealings between Brett Hopper and his informant Damien Ortiz are fun in this one.

I thought it was funny when Brett came back the second time to get the picture from the Church and he immediately found the picture. Damien’s like “how did you do that?”

Also Brett and Damien’s visit with Isabella’s mom was interesting.

I think this episode had the most days (retakes of a day) of any episode so far. I enjoyed Brett’s constant trips back to Detweiler’s house. That was pretty interesting.

For some reason, I enjoyed it when Hopper tipped off all the people who were in trouble and then the van that was coming for Damien stopped at the light and Damien appeared and said, “I here you are looking for me.”

But my favlorite scene was also the funniest moment of the show which was…

Funniest Moment
When Damien and Brett take the van from the people trying to kill Damien and you see them in the van listening to Asia’s “Heat of the Moment”. That was so classic. Damien and Brett look at eachother as if to say “What kind of music is this?” My wife Jill and I looked at eachother and started cracking up.

Most Interesting Moment
It was real interesting to see that Jennifer (Brett’s sister) is the one who killed Chad. I wonder if the cuts on Jeniffer’s arm were from struggling with the DA that Brett was framed for killing? Jennifer’s involvement is a very interesting plot twist.

I really enjoy this show, it’s too bad it’s only going to be on for one season (if that)…

Interesting title for an episode, eh?

Here are my thoughts on last night’s episode of Day Break…

It seems like the old surfer dude in prison was giving Hopper hints that he was living this day over and over again as well. It make me wonder if a couple of weeks back the guy in the bar who said something along the lines of “I told you they would win”, is living the same day over and over also. How many others are living this day over? Wouldn’t it stink if a bad guy is reliving the day over and over again?

I found it interesting that Chad seemed to believe Hopper so quickly. At least it sure seemed liKe Chad believed Hopper. We know Chad knows more than he is willing to divulge, but maybe he isn’t as bad as I thought he was.

My favorte line in the show was when the mystery bad guy asks Hopper if he believes in Deja Vu. Maybe he is living this day over and over again as well.

I thought it was pretty funny when Detective Hopper called Damien to ask to speak with the guy in his trunk. But that wasn’t my favorite scene.

My favorite scene in the show came at the very end of the show, when Hopper looks in Chad’s car and sure enough the black book is there. Hopper takes the book and leaves Chad the money that Chad claimed Hopper owed him. That was great!

What was your favorite part of the show?

ABC announced that they will be moving LOST into the 10pm time slot once it returns. So LOST won’t be competing with American Idol.

WooHoo! That is great news in so many ways. I enjoy American Idol, I enjoy LOST. If push came to shove, I would choose American Idol over LOST. This way I don’t have to.

I found this on Variety’s site. However, there was some bad news in the article…

The absence of the last five episodes of Day Break in ABC’s lineup, opened up some questions about it’s fate. Which is too bad, since I enjoy watching Day Break.

I just wanted to make a quick note about the new ABC series called “Day Break”. It is replacing LOST during LOST’s hiatus. When I saw the previews I thought,

“Uggh… groundhog day the series???”

I have been hesitant to write about it, because I keep thinking to myself,

“This can’t really be good, can it?”

So far, Day Break has been quite good and has managed to keep me very interested in the plot and the characters. One thing I find kind of odd is that while the main character “Brett Hopper” always maintains any injuries he has from day to day (the same day), other characters don’t. I wonder why that is?

Also, at first the days were staying the same, but now the things he does affects the next day.

What do you think of “Day Break”?
