Edit Summary »

Gary Hobson was a regular Chicago stockbroker. One day his wife dumped him and he was forced to move into a hotel room. The next morning, at 6:30 am, a mysterious yellow cat showed up at his front door with tomorrow's edition of the Chicago Sun-Times. From that day on his life was never the same. At first... more »

  • Can we PLEASE get the rest of the seasons released on DVD?????

    What's the holdup with releasing the rest of the episodes on DVD. The way Early edition was treated in Australia by Channel Nine was disgraceful. They practically killed the show off with the scheduling. I have Season one on DVD now but I want the rest.

    Quality show. hide « show »

    I really wish this show was still on. It was almost always entertaining. I liked the entire premise of the show and I found many aspects interesting. The basic premise of the character Gary Hobson finding tomorrow's newspaper today was a great and original concept. I liked watching him try to prevent the event from happening and also seeing the characters he would encounter. I liked the characters and also the storylines and the plots. The acting was good and fit well with the setting. Overall, this was a great show and I wish it was still on television today. Thank you.

    Favorite show of all time... hide « show »

    This show was seriously my favorite show on tv in 2002..although the show stop airing in 2000... I used to watch it everyday and every epidsode was soo greatt!
    The show was set in Chicago, Illinois, and it was about the adventures of a man (Kyle Chandler) as Gary Hobson who mysteriously receives each Chicago Sun-Times newspaper the day before it is actually published, and who uses this knowledge to prevent terrible events each day. I really hope they will make a new show based on the same thing , becsuse its really interesting, and i hope Kyle Chandler would be in it because he is really a great actor.

    I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this show!! hide « show »

    It's about time this show finally got out on DVD!! First it was cancelled before I got a chance to watch it (I was working graveyards and sleeping evenings). THEN it came back on Pax/Independent, and I got hooked. Out of a 1 to 10 rating, I give it a 50. THEN it was discontinued from Pax/Independent in favor of such inanities as Mama's House. After two(I think?) long years of Gary Hobson withdrawal, it is FINALLY out on DVD. It's a joy to see Gary, AND free of commercial /weather warning/ public warning system / political update / lost signal interruption too. Also love the way the packaging is minimalized. Better spacially AND environmentally. More, please!

    A very original show. I love it and miss it! hide « show »

    I loved Early Edition. It was one of the first shows that became "mine". I was intrigued by this show from the very first episode.

    The premise of the show was very original. An ordinary guy get's tomorrow's newspaper today. I had to watch, had to find out if the show lived up to all the potential you could see in the trailers. Sure enough, the show was great and I watch reruns whenever I can. Unfortunately, the local channel that aired the reruns has stopped showing them.

    It was so easy to get into an episode of Early Edition. The episodes were well written, the stories surpreme. The show had the right elements of mystery, suspense, humor and romance. A great show all around. I loved the cast of Early Edition. Kyle Chandler was a great leader. I think he's a great actor. This show was amazing and I hope to see it on DVD one day. I will be the first one in line to buy it. :)

    The show consisted of Gary Hobson getting tomorrows news paper today, and how he would try to prevent or change the out come of certain events. hide « show »

    One of the all time greatest shows that has ever been on television! I don't mind that the show was cancelled because it had a decent run. Considering that many shows do not last four seasons. However, I do wish the re-runs were still on tv or an 'Official' DVD box set would be released. In the show, Gary Hobson was a true hero and he stuck to his values. It was funny at times how he would try to explain the strange circumstances he was found in. Oh of course don't forget about Erica, Gary's beautiful love interest. I want to watch Early Edition again...
