Did you miss Day Break on ABC last night? If so, you’re certainly not alone. We’ve been innundated with emails and traffic from people looking for details on what’s happened to the Taye Diggs series.
For those who don’t know, Day Break has been pulled from primetime by ABC after just six episodes due to low ratings. The on-going storyline is hardly resolved with seven unaired episodes left in the season. ABC has said they will post episodes (one per week) on their website but many people don’t have a powerful enough computer, can’t access the Internet long enough to watch, don’t have a fast Internet connection or, for many other reasons, simply can’t view the episodes. In short, millions of people who could have seen future episodes on free network television, will never see this excellent series — and we think the decision-makers should know.
So, we’re inviting you to sign a petition that asks the network and the production companies (Gross Entertainment and Touchstone Television) to release the series so that more people can see it — to return the series to network TV or at the least, to release it on DVD. With enough interest, there could even be a second season or a movie.
Let your friends, neighbors and co-workers know — anyone who misses Day Break — where they can find this petition. Naturally, the more names are collected, the better.
To sign the petition, fill out the “comments” box below. You only need to leave your name, city and state (or country). You may leave comments if you wish but please try to keep them civil. We’ll be monitoring the petition to ensure that it stays clean of spam or inappropriate comments. Let’s save Day Break!

To ABC, Gross Entertainment & Touchstone Television:
cc: Taye Diggs
We, the undersigned have enjoyed much of your programming, particularly the outstanding Day Break series. We have enjoyed the Taye Diggs series each week and are dismayed that it has been pulled from the primetime schedule.
We believe that the ratings have not accurately shown the show’s popularity for success. After just six episodes, we believe that Day Break was not given enough time to fully establish a potentially huge audience. Please remember that many very popular shows like MASH, 24 and Cheers were not immediate hits.
We understand that ABC is posting the remaining episodes online but, for a variety of reasons, millions of people are not able to see these episodes — resulting in lost viewership for you and disappointment and frustration for them.
We respectfully request that you return Day Break to network television and to consider continuing production of further episodes or even a film. At the very least, we ask that you make the existing episodes available to a wider audience via a DVD release.
Thank you in advance for your attention and consideration.

A wonderful, thought provoking show. Bring it back for season 2!!!!!!!!
Daybreak was awesome! It’s better than many other new shows out there and it’s VERY DIFFERENT. Bring it back, please.
Hey, I understand T.V. is big business and if a show isn’t living up to what is expected it has to go. But there is no reason not to release it on DVD. So get on it.
I am still obsessed with the fact that Day Break was cancelled. It was such an amazing show! My husband and I looked forward to it every week and we really miss it. I just saw the movie Premonition with Sandra Bullock and it makes me so mad that Day Break was cancelled. Bring it back!!!!
ABC, In contrast to many of the people that have posted comments, I love watching TV and ABC is my favorite channel. Each week I can’t wait for the next episode of Desperate Housewives, Brothers & Sisters, Ugly Betty, and Grey’s Anatomy. Unfortunately, I was not a fan of Lost because I had to miss a couple episodes in the beginning and it is one of those shows you had to see each week. The option of seeing what you missed was not available on-line back then. The reason I am sharing this about Lost is that I became loyal… Read more »
i want this on dvd
Yeah day break should really be brought back. Its a really well made show and kills its competitors. bring it back!
I loved the show! It kind of reminded me of one of my favorite movies “Memento” in a backwards kind of way…
I finally got to see the last episodes of Day Break, and they did not disappoint. If it’s ever released on DVD, I would buy it and recommend it to others.
DAYBREAK ROCKS! Put it back on ABC, Lord knows theres worse shows out there you’ve kept on for far too long, The View comes to mind…
Day Break was a awesome show i cant believe it was cancelled it was filled with so much action, and such a great storyline. MY man hardly watches tv and he was on the couch every wednesday night for this one. PLEASE BRING it back.. Doesnt everything deserve a second chance.
I’m not a big TV watcher… I used to only watch TV on Mondays and Wednesdays for Prison Break/24, Heroes and Daybreak. For the life of me, I can’t figure out why a show like Daybreak was pulled, but Men in Trees was given a pass to stay on the air longer. I don’t like making things racial, but could it really have been because most of the lead roles were minorities? Daybreak was/is a great show and didn’t have a chance to make any ground. It had decent numbers given the fact that it was put on the air… Read more »
