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.
The Undersigned fans of Day Break
Great TV show. Original and Creative. Please consider a second season!
its funny cuz what was with the guy that also could repeat the day over and over.. remember ABC for every decision there is a consequence
I have watch all episodes of daybreak when it was aired on a satelite channels. I enjoyed the series. Definately would be the whole series if release on DVD.
So come on executive directors, think of the profits and get it released.
Trisus
People still writing about this show 6 months after the cancellation….guess that is a true testament to a very good show. I hope whoever was the Einstein that decided to cancel it got the ax themselves.
*is der a dvd of all the episodes of daybreak??
*this is the best show ive seen in a while!!
n now it been cancelled?!?
i dnt fink thats right we shud be able to see the rest of the show thats got me hooked!
so please put it back on!!
Just watched ep 7 on swedish TV… I dont think 13 episodes will be enough to end this plot. make more of this!
Best show I have seen in a while, would love to see more of it. Stop acting like the fox network and dont cancel good shows.
I thought this was a fantastic show and was thoroughly disappointed to hear that it will not get a second series.
I LOVED Daybreak. I’m from Scotland in the UK & can honestly say it’s the best thing on the box!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a season 2!
…….I HATE ABC>>> this show rockeed….i saw when they filmed this show in L.A and i even got to meet TAYE DIGGS HIS A COOL GUY!!
It is unfortunate that ABC feels that an over 4 million viewship isn’t enough to keep a show on. Well at least we have “The Nine” to watch. Oh thats right. ABC cancelled that one too. Wonder why viewship is down? Whats the sense in getting hooked into a new show, just to have it cancelled a few episodes in. Thank you ABC. If you would like respond I’ll be over on FOX watching TV.
Keep it going!!!!!
This show was MY FAVORITE show! it is GREAT, and it needs to come back or be released on dvd or something… the network didn’t really give it a chance…
Bring it back.. At least online!!!
