This show was perfect for everyone. Exceptional entertainment. This show had it all; action, comedy, suspense. Although it seemed to be a bit directed toward teens, adults and children would have no problem getting caught up in the story. Engaging and addicting, I had to watch it every week. It doesn't require you to catch every episode, like many recent action adventure television shows(Alias and Lost).An original plot and script that broke free from the lot of modern stereotypical TV series. Recently, Television has run dry with shock factor. All that's on any more is "reality TV", raunchy comedy, cheesy soap operas, sex, educational TV, advertisements, sex, and advertisements. It's hard to find a good time in front of the screen anymore. 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.

From the north side to the south, Gary is taken all over the city (and occasionally the suburbs and Indiana), showing great views of the skyline and lots of local area architecture and attractions. Gary's friends are honest and likable, and the dialogue is fine. The cat always makes me smile, knowing that he's leading Gary on his next adventure. I liked this series when it first came out and was delighted to find it syndication has been picked up by PAX TV (soon to be I-TV). It's Monday - Wednesday nights at 9 PM. I highly recommend this.

... View More'Early Edition' is another 'Quantum Leap,' although it's slightly different since it doesn't involve time-traveling. Instead, our hero, Gary Hobson, gets the paper one day in advance. By getting tomorrow's news today, he has no more than 24 hours to prevent the bad news from happening.The series has a lot of charm. I watched this show sporadically throughout its four-year primetime run, but began watching it more often during its last few months on the air.The addition of Kristy Swanson (the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer) for the show's third season was a perfect one. Her character Erica, a single mother, was a nice match for Gary. To me, Swanson is an underrated talent, and fit into the show very well. It's just too bad that she was out of the picture for the show's fourth (and final) season. I would have liked to see her remain on the show until it was cancelled.Of course, EE was cancelled in the summer of 2000, after four years. That is generally a good run for a show like this. While the chances for a fifth season are extremely slim (despite the best efforts of its loyal fans), reruns of the series can now be seen on the Fox Family Channel. But if you don't have cable, all is not completely lost: You have a good chance of finding EE reruns (whether daily or weekly) on one of your local stations.
