New TV Hits Bring Old Shows to DVD... Or Do They? | DVD News and Reviews | 3/7/2008
There's no doubt about it: New TV hits can bring old, short-lived shows to DVD.Just ask Taye Diggs, who's hot enough in Private Practice that his 2006 effort, Day Break, will hit stores at the end of this month. Or Kim Raver: Her old show, Third Watch, was in hugely high demand for a DVD release... but the studio didn't actually pull the trigger on getting it out (early last month) until Raver was cast in the new series Lipstick Jungle. Christina Applegate is doing well with Samantha Who?, so... read more
Taye's Break to Air in Full on TV One | Today's News: Our Take | 3/6/2008
TV One has picked up all 13 episodes — including the seven that were never broadcast on television — of the déjà vu-tastic Day Break, one of ABC's many short-lived and underappreciated serialized thrillers from past seasons.TV One will begin unspooling Det. Hopper's wonderfully odd odyssey Sunday, March 16, at 10 pm/ET, as part of a Taye Diggs-themed weekend promotion. Me, I'm in it for the Moon Bloodgoodness! — MWMRelated:• Gimme a Day Break: Online Return... read more
Private Practice Preview: Taye Diggs Eyes His Latest Break | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 9/19/2007
ABC's Private Practice premieres in seven days. TVGuide.com is counting down the Grey's spin-off's arrival with daily Q&As with the cast members. Taye Diggs typically plays the kind of guy most women would trade their favorite pair of Manolo Blahniks to date. But in his newest endeavor, the genetically blessed actor breaks the mold as best-selling author Dr. Sam Bennett, a flawed internist who co-owns the Oceanside Wellness Group with his heartbroken ex-wife, Naomi. We caught up with the star... read more
March 4, 2007: What If It's Him? | Day Break Show Blog | 3/4/2007
Well, here we are, finally at the end of Brett’s long journey (it’s taken a little longer than expected thanks to ABC.com’s erratic schedule, but I digress). There is a little bit of disappointment when you realize that the show’s producers were hoping for a second season of the show and left a couple of plot threads hanging just in case there were more episodes on the horizon. It’s nothing major, and I still think this was an awesome episode, but I guess this serves... read more
February 12, 2007: What If She's the Key? | Day Break Show Blog | 2/13/2007
First thing’s first: did anyone have problems with this episode being edited out of order? The show seemed out of sequence when I first tried to watch it: Immediately after Brett was running out of the courthouse, it cut straight to him finding Margo tied up in some remote location. I realized pretty quickly that I wasn’t so out of it as to miss an entire plotline and figured that it was a problem with the episode itself. Sure enough, towards the end I got another mixed-up sequence... read more
February 5, 2007: What If He Walks Away? | Day Break Show Blog | 2/6/2007
The first few minutes of this episode were a great change of pace, although it didn’t take long before I was feeling the same way as Brett did: even when you’re lounging about on a tropical beach, sipping alcoholic beverages and spending time with your bikini-clad, smokin’ hot girlfriend, eventually you’d get bored of doing the exact same thing day after day. Okay, maybe you wouldn’t get bored of it, but you might eventually be depressed to realize that you’re... read more
February 4, 2007: What If He's Free? | Day Break Show Blog | 2/5/2007
The opening of this episode had something that I love to see on Day Break and don’t get nearly enough of: Watching a short piece of a day over and over again as Brett tries to figure out precisely the right set of actions in order to get what he wants. Here, he’s confronted with a hostile prison warden who’s not letting him see the legendary prisoner Miguel Dominguez. First he just tells Brett that Dominguez is in solitary confinement. Then Brett realizes the warden is a part of... read more
February 1, 2007: What If They're Connected? | Day Break Show Blog | 2/2/2007
Sorry if I’m moving a little quickly for some of the readers out there – I figured it would be best if I made sure this blog kept up with the episodes available online, since I assume most people are watching them as soon as possible (Day Break withdrawal and all that). I’m hoping to knock out the tenth episode either this Saturday or Sunday, and then we’re back to one review per week until the series concludes.Now that the boring logistics are out of the way, I have to... read more

January 31, 2007: What If She's Lying | Day Break Show Blog | 2/1/2007
Now this is more like it. The previous episode of Day Break brought up a couple of new plot threads without resolving anything – here, we’re finally seeing how all of the pieces of this puzzle fit together, and how a number of the major players in this series are involved in the conspiracy to frame Brett. Specifically, it seems that both Chad and Hopper’s sister Jennifer are being extorted into helping against their will: Neither one of them has much power in the greater... read more

Lost in ABC's Serial Bowl | Roush Dispatch | 1/15/2007
So far, I’m on board with everything ABC is doing with and saying about Lost these days. As I’ve said before, I think the network is right to move the show to 10 pm/ET when it returns from hiatus on February 7—gets it out of the way of American Idol, provides a solid lead-in to the late local news, which the affiliates care about (although history tells us that many of the fans will ditch the TV to go straight to their message boards and fan sites), and keeps the network from... read more

My "News Year" Resolutions | TV Matt'rs | 1/2/2007
While never one to set any personal-betterment goals, that does not preclude me from aspiring to amp up my performance as TVGuide.com's news blogger (Today's News: Our Take) and the domineering-yet-amiable overlord of the Interviews & Features column. Henceforth and herewith, thusly, I present my News Year resolutions, to which I refuse to be held accountable 364 days from now:— To finally land that (conspicuously) elusive interview with Alyson Hannigan, the only How I Met Your Mother ... read more
Tuned Out: Why Day Break Is MIA from ABC.com | Today's News: Our Take | 12/22/2006
I see a lot of TVGuide.com regulars wondering why ABC has not followed through on its promise, tendered at the time of Day Break's ouster from the broadcast schedule, to make any of the unaired episodes available on the network's website. Well, I checked in with an Alphabet rep, and he explains that the holdup is due to "unforeseen music clearance issues," which are currently being looked into. What, is Daniel Powter reluctant to lend his American Idol song to the finale? read more
Taye Diggs' Crazy Day to Conclude on ABC.com | Today's News: Our Take | 12/18/2006
Was ABC programming guru Stephen McPherson reading your comments in this blog over the weekend? Variety is reporting that Day Break, pulled from the network's schedule effective immediately, will finish up its 13-episode run on ABC.com. ABC has also specified that Day Break will be replaced for the next two Wednesdays not just by mere sitcom repeats but by holiday-themed sitcom repeats... of According to Jim and George Lopez.
