Just discovered that this had been added to Hulu...

I'd only caught the first half of the pilot when it was on, and somehow got sidetracked from watching more of the series.
Boy, do I love Hulu!!!

I think I have a new favorite cancelled-too-soon DVD set to buy!

What say y'all?

Oh, and by the way: Adam was in it.

Yes, it was very well done. Reminded me a little of Boomtown (another cancelled gem.)

Day Break got a bum break. ABC couldn't see fit to commit to a schedule for twelve weeks, and took it off the air after just three if I recall.

I liked it a lot. Watched the rest of it online and bought the dvd as soon as it was released too. I've watched it three times complete so far.

I saw an episode from this. I remember Adam being on it. Groundhog day with Bill Murray. With a very serious plot. I think it went off the air after I saw that episode. I never saw it again.

I really liked Day Break when it was on tv. It had Adam Baldwin and Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi)! And a lot of episodes were directed by Rob Bowman (The X-Files, Castle)! All around good show.

I must have stopped watching because of the long hiatus after ep 6. Dec. 13 to Jan. 29 is a big chunk of time; I just assumed(makes an ass out of Umed) it was already canceled. Maybe if they'd advertized more. Bastards.

I'm currently up to ep #8 of Day Break on Hulu (minus ep #2, since for some reason Hulu doesn't have it). *I've been stretching the show out over a couple days at a time just build suspense(hell, there's only 13 eps).

I'll have the DVD in 7 to 10 days.

Now, if only the PTB would PUT JOHN DOE ON DVD!!!

They're counting the 2-hour pilot as episodes 1 & 2, so you're fine.

Did you find the original 4-disc set, or is it gonna be the new 2-disc one?
If it's the latter, let me know how the image quality is!

Just finished "Day Break" on Hulu. Great show. I like that they actually ended the show. No loose threads, no cliffhangers, just completed it. And seeing the "crazy" guy at the end, almost a tear in my eye.(Just allergies...) I could totally enjoy having the DVD.

But....

Proof that even someone who knows all the Wizard Rules is never safe from violating them... every once in a while.

*smacks forehead*

I attempted to order "Day Break" on 8/28, through the website of the Great Evil (Walmart- I use it so I don't have to use a credit card). It was for a "preorder" (available 9/1), even though Amazon already had it in stock, but, goramnit, Walmart was selling it for only $7!(I'm cheep and unemployed... mostly unemployed) Anyways, I checked my account and the order is still processing. What?! So, I checked to see if the DVD is available. It's OUT OF STOCK!

Either Walmart had it in stock, but ran out and are waiting for a new batch; or they never had it and are still waiting for the first batch; or ("you're having too many or's, pick one.") they were never planning on selling it, only to tease me take my money (bastards). I'll give 'em 3 more business days before I demand a refund.

I wish I knew.("if wishing were horses we'd all be eaten steak", it's like throwing salt over your shoulder; cancels wishes) I would prefer 4 Discs, 'cause I don't like messing with 2 sided kind.

I've sent emails to everybody I can think of (people at TVShowsOnDVD.com & VideoETA.com), to see if they can find out what the compression is gonna be like on the new set, since a lot of folks on the Net are wondering, but to tell you the truth, I hadn't even thought about double-sided discs.
Been a while since I've seen one of those, but if that were the case, compression won't be an issue.
Amazon doesn't say what type of discs they are on their pre-order page...

(BTW, nice Cordelia quotage on the "too many or's"! I was just watching that episode on Hulu the other day! )

WTF?! Amazon's selling the 4-disc set for over $90!!! Meanwhile, the 2-disc version (preorder) is only about $11.

My Lone Gunmen DVDs are double-sided. They're okay, but 2 sides means double the chance for nicks, scratches, and smudges; so ya gotta be extra careful.
