Daybreak was a masterpiece, but you had to watch all of it, in order. Would have been a huge hit as a BBC style series. Way too smart for American tv.

Hey, I just saw “Daybreak” last week on Hulu.com and I really liked it! Glad they let it finish after pulling the plug.

I remember My Living Doll pretty well. Star Bob Cummings was let go after half a season, and his dimwitted assistant inherited the robot. The assistant was played by Jack Mullaney, the actor who played one of the astronauts in It’s About Time a couple of years later.

I remember a lot of the ones mentioned here, but no one has brought up Space Rangers! Six episodes, only four of which were ever shown on TV (CBS). Far future, Marines in space sort of thing, but a great cast of characters including an engineer who’s more than half cyborg (and pays off a lot of people in Central to keep flying and not be grounded), the obligatory green kid and staunch captain, a kickass female pilot, the feisty base commander (the always fab Linda Hunt)and the BEST alien in years, played by Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. I’ve still got the show on VHS, praying someone puts it on DVD before these die on me.

Day Break is on Netflix.

I went over there to check, not only that, but Netflix gives it a 4.6 out of 5 rating for me, based on my ratings.

If it is more PrisonBreak than FlashForward or The Event,it might have a chance with me.

This isn’t sci-fi, but the Jeff Dunham Show only lasted for six episodes last October and November on Comedy Central.

Sorry, Pile of Pooh, but Alternative 3 discussed global *warming*. It was not a new theory even back then. I’m no scientist, but I know (some of) my television… which is why I write about it.
