SYNOPSIS:
His name is Gary Hobson. He gets tomorrow's newspaper today. He doesn't know how. He doesn't know why. All he knows is when the early edition hits his doorstep, he has twenty-four hours to set things right.

IMDB REVIEWS:
"Early Edition has to be one of the best shows ever made. It tells the story of a man who gets tomorrow's newspaper today. It had such a clever plot and I had nothing to complain about it except that it was cancelled".

"...anyone who can understand the English language will love this".

"A very solid tv programme about a guy named Gary Hobson".

"Early Edition is another Quantum Leap, although it's slightly different since it doesn't involve time-traveling".

"This show was awesome while it lasted. I truly hope it comes out on DVD. If it doesn't I'll give up faith in Television all together".

Has anyone had the pleasure of seeing it?

  • ITV showed it on Saturday nights for a little while

    on the back of X Files-mania, demonstrating the kind of cool headed thinking ITV have become renowned for.

  • what is it with you and

    tv shows involving the bending of the space time continuum and people called gary?

    weirdo

    ideserve2 | 1 Feb '12, 21:36 | X
  • Yeah I remember this

    It used to be on after Baywatch Nights. It was better than Baywatch Nights.

    Also thats the Dad in Super 8/Coach in Friday Night Lights

    Brilliant programme.

  • Yeah, used to watch this, was good.

    Remember one where he stopped a hard up woman paying for her shopping with an heirloom nickel which went on to sell for loads at an auction.

    The early paper had something to do with a cat. When the cat was there, he got the paper. When it went away, he didn't.

  • 'SYNOPSIS' would have been a better title, tbh

    which is what I thought it was until you quoted the reviews

  • honestly the greatest story ever told.

    though he's got a love interest now.

    i'm not sure i trust her.

    she's a reporter.

    i can see this getting messy.
