Day Break gets lost

Lost

ABC had big plans for the sci fi mess Day Break as a fan-sating fill-in during the chancy 13-week midseason hiatus for Lost. With Taye Diggs as the star, a creepy Groundhog Day premise and a demanding serialized structure, the strongest thing Day Break had going for it was the Lost teaser “nugget” buried in each episode. Just enough to keep viewers hanging in.

But heck, we could get the nuggets online the next morning. And so they weren’t enough. Day Break was supposed to last through Dec. 27. But its rating were so appallingly miniscule this week, the show’s been yanked early. Cancelled. As of now. In the bin with Show Me The Money.Day Break will be replaced by comedies. At least we can get a few laughs while we search for the nuggets– oh right, maybe not… it’s ABC…

Lost returns Feburary 7th. But you already knew that.

    I hope they put them online. From what I’ve heard they are in the can, so it can’t hurt. I really liked it.

    This sucks. This is total B.S.!

    We really enjoyed this show. ABC can kiss my ass.

    Day Break was a pretty decent show, but I can understand why no one watched it. If you missed a single episode, you’re screwed, and most people don’t like shows they have to stick with and remember the prior episodes.

    ABC is the new FOX, giving up on good serials before they get a chance to find it’s audience (not that FOX has given up that practice, like with what they did to “Vanished” this season), Last season they dropped “Invasion” before it’s time, and this season started with them pulling “Six Degrees”, then the exceptional “The Nine”, and now just when I was really getting into it, “Day Break” is brought to a too early end (heck, it may not be in the same category, but even “Show Me the Money” kept me mildly amused). It almost makes me want to give up on the alphabet network altogether (which won’t be too hard, since I never watched “Lost” in the first place).
