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
This show was great; I watched the whole show online in like 2 days. Once I saw the first episode I was hooked.

the guy smiling at the end was the crazy guy from earlier episodes who bit Hopper’s arm and said he was living the same day over too.
Daybreak is the best series i’ve seen in years. There has to be a second season as well for Traveler i might add. Only 8 episodes? I thought it was Groundhog Day when i heard that sh*t. First Daybreak, now Traveler? Are you out of your mind! These shows are the best you have to offer so please for all our sakes PUT THEM BACK ON THE AIR!!!
I would really like to see what happens in Daybreak. You reeled me in, hooked me, now deliver! Please bring back Daybreak or at least play it out for us.
bring Day Break back. My husaband and I had finally found a show we could both watch together. It was a real shame that it was pulled. I was wondering when it would be back only to learn that it was cancelled. Give it another chance ABC, atleast show us a finale..
Please bring back Day Break.GREAT Show.People didn’t realize the show was on TV.ABC should have left it on longer and the ratings would have gone up.I loved that show,I would miss it for the world.Best show on TV.Bring it back you won’t be sorry!
I live in England and have been following Daybreak, It is amazing! Easily the best show on Tv right now just needs better advertising! I’m desperate to buy it on DVD so come on ABC do us viewers a favour and get another few seasons commisioned quick smart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ps Taye you are a class actor! x
Day Break needs to be brought back to network television. This was one of the best shows i’ve seen in a long time. i was watching the episodes online and then suddenly they all disappeared. I think because of the new premieres they took it off the internet. I can’t watch it on abc.com anymore. Put day break back on tv.
for my opinion day break was much better than most of the recent fan-filled series (see heroes, 3rd season of lost & company. that’s what i’m talking about..). if there’s a petition for save the show i’m in!

My husband and I LOVED this show and had been eagerly awaiting its return only to find out that it has been cancelled!! It was a really great show and I hope that the producers, writers, or those individuals in charge of this show would reconsider this decision.
Kudos to Taye Diggs!!
Bring us back daybreak!!!

I totally loved this show. I was left hanging for so long. That is very disappointing. I am going to look online for shows that I missed. I wasnt aware that you could see the rest on here somewhere. That was a bad judgment call!
i was so upset when the show was cancelled! i couldn’t wait to finally see the ending and how it all turned out! this was one of the best shows ive seen in a long time. Please bring it back!
I don’t think the viewer count was right. Everyone I know was watching this program. It had us all on the edge of our seats and talking about it the rest of the week. I think we have the right to see the rest of the episodes. They were already filmed, why not release them.
I can not believe this show was canceled. It had a unique storyline that kept you interested. If ratings were not up to desired levels try better promos or a different night.
Please bring Day Break back, or at least put it on DVD! I can’t stand not knowing what happened to Detective Hopper!
