Show Summary

What would you do if you could relive a day? If you're TRU DAVIES (Eliza Dushku), you'd save lives. Tru is a smart and sexy recent college graduate who - when her high-powered medical internship falls through - finds herself working the midnight shift at the city morgue. One night, Tru questionsMore reality when she thinks she hears a murder victim asking for her help. But the next morning, our heroine wakes up to find that she is back at the beginning of that very same day - twelve hours before a death that only she knows about is set to take place. Now with the clock ticking, Tru is compelled to traverse the city over the next twelve hours to try to prevent this tragedy, while at the same time trying to rescue members of her own family from their dangerous and self-destructive lives. With the sexiness and speed of "Run Lola Run," plus the ticking clock suspense of 24, Tru Calling puts a stylish new spin on the procedural crime format as Tru uses her newfound ability to try to stop tragedies before they actually happen. In the series, Tru is surrounded by HARRISON (Shawn Reaves), her handsome and charming younger brother who has a knack for finding trouble; MEREDITH (Jessica Collins), their older sister who has a great career and money, but battles drug addiction; LINDSAY (A.J. Cook), Tru's loyal but unsuspecting best friend; and DAVIS (Zach Galifianakis), the quirky morgue staffer Tru works with on the graveyard shift. In the middle of the first season, we were introduced to a new character named Jack Harper(Jason Priestly), who plays a new morgue attendent, who seems to have a strange effect on Tru's abilities when he's around. Tru discovers that he also has the power to go back in time...only he is her true universal opposite, which means he wants the people to STAY dead... The pilot episode was directed by renowned filmmaker Phillip Noyce. Tru Calling is a production of 20th Century Fox Television and Original Film and was created by executive producer/writer Jon Harmon Feldman. Marty Adelstein, Neal Moritz, Dawn Parouse and R. W. (Bob) Goodwin are also executive producers.

    Bring back Tru!!! hide show

    I don't believe that this show was cancelled, can we get tru to do a do over day and make them change there minds!!.
    I only discovered this series due to a friend letting me borrow the box set, and I have not been able to stop watching them from one to another, but was sad when there was only 2 disks for season 2, but I can't understand why as this show is one of the greatest i have seen for a long time, as i am a big fan of ugly betty and desperate housewives and goast whisper and heroes and a few others but i must say that tru calling is number 1. I really don't think this had enough publicity or enough of a chance. i think most people agree they are sick of reality shows!!

    Stopped too soon. hide show

    Tru Calling premise was very smart and for 26 episodes the pace has been tremendous. No time to breathe, except maybe for a few laughts because the dialogues were really witty, especially between Tru and Davis.

    That's why it's really a shame that the show didn't last longer. There were still so many promises. Tru's father working with Jake, who were both determined to turn her newest boyfriend to the devil. At least the series deserved a decent ending that could have been possible if it had been given a full second season. I wish we had a chance to see what would have happened to the gang. Would the good have won over the bad or reverse?

    Finally, kudos on the cast. They were all amazing, the chemistry was there, no matter which side they stood on.

    A young women develops an interesting power. hide show

    This show provided the perfect role for Eliza because she is incredibly beautiful and really good at action roles, but seems to have a limited emotional range. My problem with her in Dollhouse is that she lacks the ability to portray so many different characters but because Tru is so custom fit to her she does a really good job. The way she relives day and works at a morgue is an interesting twist on the groundhog day idea and it works really well with her job. The supporting cast also makes this show good. Her boss is quirky in just the right amount, not pushing it too far and as the show delves into his backstory his character only becomes more likable. Her brother also provides a lot of comic relief for the show. Her boyfriend however really ruined an entire season for me with his horrible acting and weak story line. Jason Priesly was great as the bad guy and he brought a very existentialist turn to the show which I wished they would of been able to continue. Too bad it was canceled, but it was good while it lasted
