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
I’m one of the BIG Colombian fan base of “Day Break” and also the most faithful…
We are getting Day Break by the People and Arts channel and I’m just getting the news of this series cancellation and I was Shoickt and disappointed.
I sign this petition in order to protect the general interest of those who are really engaged with good TV… This show is exactly that. A great Show and I hope you realize that.
Hoping for good news in the future and more Day break…. thx.
Luckily “TV One” aired all of the episodes of Day Break, or I would have gone stir crazy. The last episode was so good, I am crossing my fingers that some network picks the show up for a second season. Obviously the show has a fan base by the overwhelming response in this forum alone.
I will admit that it took me three tries to understand the show but once I really paid attention I was hooked.
PLEASE GIVE US “DAY BREAK” !!!!!!
I absolutely loved this show and could not wait to see it every Sunday. I watched the marathon on Memorial Day with my husband and got him hooked. The finale was fantastic. It left you wondering who was that guy watching Hopper and Rita in the end and what happened to Chet. You have to have a second season. i will be purchasing the DVD something I have never done before. This series is right up there with “The Game” with Michael Douglas”. ABC you did not promote this show like you do others. You have missed out on a… Read more »
I just finished watching the entire season of Day Break on TV1. I’m in school full-time, with little time to watch anything on television, but I had to make sure that I saw every episode. Every episode was excellent and ABC should have never dropped the show. I’m happy that TV1 picked it up so I could see the rest of the season. So please continue the show. I want to see the second season!!!!
Hey guys I love the Day Break Series alot among with other several tv series, I hope ABC network will pick up “Day Break” for a new season cause it is totally awesome! I mean who can keep thinking of so many new ideas and outcomes for the “same” day over and over(pure genius). So hopefully it comes back. If they could also hopefully sell the DVD in Asia region cause I just introduced this series to my friend in Asia and he LOVES it and so does his elder brother!!(Help my friend out a little)
Day Break – I Tivo the show on ABC, and now on TV One. I’m very upset this show was cancelled. This show is of very good content, the suspense leaves you wanting more. Abc needs to reconsider or another network needs to bring this show back to life.
I never saw the show on ABC Network, but I started resently looking at the episodes on TV One and me and my family fell in love with the show. My son is very hard to please when it comes to TV and he even loved the show. We spent our entire Memorial Day watching an marathon of Day Break on TV One. Please bring the show back!!!!!
Not sure why this ended or why it ddn’t catch in with the other viewers. This show is comparable to CSI Miami and other ddetective shows. Please release the season on DVD or continue the marathons on tv one.
Please continue Day Break, its very intriging!
Gotta bring it back. Excellent show. At the very least, release all 13 episodes on DVD. Thanks!
I’m up to epiosode four through Netflix. I really hope this series gets a real conclusion by the endof the existing epiosodes! It’s riveting.
Bring the show back.
I watched it when it came out and I bought the dvd. I want more! bring it back.

ive waited so long to see it on TV after watching the epsisodes on the internet
i was shocked sitting down one dec. night to find george lopez instead of this program
People deserve good quality drama’s not the scripted so-called reality shows that are popping up all over the place…Despite what the networks think, most americans enjoy intelligent tv…
