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!

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
STUPID ABC YOU SUCK AND ARE ALL CRACK SMOKERS I JUST WATCHED THE SHOW BORED HERE AT WORK GOOGLED TO SEE WHEN THE NEW SERIES STARTS AND ITS CANCELLED I LOVE THIS SHOW AND I AM SO BUMMED IT IS CANCELLED….. CRACK HEADS
Please bring Daybreak back! My husband and I love the show and really hoped that it would do well enough to make it. The cast was awesome, the story line was amazing and the plot was very well thought out. But the best part was it was different from any other show America had ever seen! Honestly I think this show was not given a fair chance to make it. I am happy to have the opportunity to watch additional unaired episodes online however I would really like to see the series finale. If ABC can’t accomodate it, please sell… Read more »
The show was one of those shows that made me want to watch TV. I am going to quit watching your network if you keep dropping good shows. Don’t sign it on if you don’t think it will be able to finish the season. Or at least let the series play out to give people enough time to tell their friends about the show.
Great show… I started watching it on SprintTV and I was hooked.. Shame it was pulled..
bring it back
Please bring Daybreak back

Best show I’ve seen and they cancel it, really sucks that they did this.
Hi, I wanted to share my opinion. I understand that rating may affect a show on television. But I feel that even if that is the case ABC could have moved the time until its finale. At least that way we could have recorded it to vhs and watch it later. I do not feel that it is right to just take it off without giving any information. Day Break was a good series and I like those type of suspenses. Too bad I can’t see the final episodes. Right now ABC has Traveler that I am also watching, hopefully… Read more »
I just spent the last 2 days watching all of the episodes. I cannot for the life of me understand why this show was pulled. It was gripping, edgy, innovative…I could go on. I really would love to see a season 2. Even if it is Online only. I’m really disappointed in ABC as a whole. Six Degrees is another show that really deserved to go on and if you pull Notes from the Underbelly, I’m going to give up on the network completely.
Just bring it back.

I want to add my name to the list if people dissapointed by the demise of Day Break. I watched every episode, and felt that my TIME had been stolen from me. I don’t trust ABC serialized programming. They want people to watch, but then they cancell a show in mid-stream once the viewer is hooked. I wonder why so many people don’t watch network television.
Im still searchin online to find the whole season, that was a very good show. Im getting tired of all these reality shows. American Idol Sucks!!!! Bring Back Day Break if u want, i can star in some of the episodes just bring it back!
I realy liked this show and
looked forward to aleast seeing and ending.
I am so tired of all the crappy reality shows. Bring back these dramas.
My wife and I were hooked last fall and suddenly the series was pulled. ABC kept promising to show the remaining episodes On-line but after several weeks they still weren’t available so we quit looking. Now I find out that ABC eventually did put them On-line, except for the finale?, but we never heard about it. How can fans of quality TV see this series? Will ABC release it in sindication or on DVD? Or will ABC continue to drive away viewers, and advertising dollars, with inept scheduling and low-intelligence, copy-cat programming?
Great show! ABC should think about bringing Day Break back for another season.
