Reid About It

Well, after I invested six hours of my life in it, ABC has cancelled "Day Break". Anybody else watch this "24 Taking Place On Groundhog Day" kind-of-show? I liked it, but I felt like I should be taking better notes. It was really confusing. Hopefully, they'll at least air the remaining episodes online.

It's another good example of why it's so hard for me to get involved with new shows. I'd rather have to catch up at the end of the season than get hung out to dry with an unresolved show.

A question for you ABC execs. How can you replace a show with a novel plot idea, great pacing, and a season-long cliffhangers with reruns of "According To Jim" and look yourselves in the mirror? Wouldn't we be better served with a half-hour test pattern, or whatever the last good sitcom on ABC was? Which was, I don't know, "Mork and Mindy"?
