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
Day Break is defintely the best series I’ve seen all 2007. Better than Heroes, better than Lost. It starts slowly, but half-way through, it just gets better and better with every episode. The ending was fantastic! I’d definitely buy the DVD box set if there ever was one, and if there was another season I’d watch it religiously.
with all the dumb stuff on tv, why is it that you all always take off the good stuff. bring daybreak back
I cannot believe this show hasn’t come out on DVD. I surfed all over the net tonight hoping to buy it. What a great idea to bring it back during the writers’ strike. It was an exciting show. I would love to see it and see the end. I have ONLY wondered about it for a year.
Please at least release season 1 DVD!!!

If you at ABC don’t want to run it, sell it to the Sci Fi Channel. It’ll grow an audience there, and have the capacity to add new episodes.
Why don’t you put Daybreak on now during the writers strike?
I loved the show. At least have a DVD version with all episodes available.
Daybreak was one of the few rare smart shows that aired. To pull it without allowing the show to grow is a huge mistake, as TV ratings these days will tell you absolutly squat due to TIVO and Digital recording devices. Allow fans to rate the show on the website, and you’ll see ratings blow a hole in your roof.
Great Show!!! please don’t can it…
If nothing else I want ABC to come out with a DVD so we can at least see the rest of the episodes. I didn’t get in on when they post the rest of the episodes on ABC.com because I was even aware that they where going to do that. There is so much junk on TV now that It’s a real shame when they cancel one of the really original great new shows. I mean common 6 episodes in nowhere near enough time to see how the show will perform down the road.
I want more series of Day Break. It’s the best of all.
