Anyone caught "Day Break" yesterday? I didn't really like previews, but unexpectedly liked the first episode. And considering there are only 11 more episodes and they promised ( :rolleyes: ) to actually explain everything, I'll probably be watching it.

• Jack S. from Galesburg, Ill.: "Has any television show in history ever ripped off a movie as bad as ABC's 'Daybreak'? It looks like they mixed 'Groundhog Day' with '24,' except threw in bad acting, deducted comedy and claimed it to be their own idea. Unbelievable. Tell me you've seen the commercials. I'm catatonic."
• Josh from Knoxville, Tenn.: "Are you as excited about black 'Groundhog Day' as I am?"
• Tim from Montrose, Colo.: "I couldn't help but notice the 352 promo spots for 'Daybreak.' My question is, when Taye Diggs is trying to explain to his girl that 'every morning I wake up and it's the same day,' shouldn't Diggs just tell her, 'You remember that movie "Groundhog's Day"? That's happening to me except it's a drama, not a comedy.' Is this really the best ABC can come up with to follow 'Lost'?"
You get the idea. Here's the problem, ABC: You can't rip off a popular idea THAT BADLY without acknowledging that same idea in some way. We're fine with black "Groundhog Day" crossed with "24" -- just admit what you're doing from the get-go. If there's one thing that everyone universally hates, it's somebody ripping somebody else off and not admitting that they're ripping somebody else off. That's a recipe for disaster. You have to believe me. My advice would be to have Taye Diggs dub in at least three, "Man, this s--- feels like that movie 'Groundhog Day'!" jokes in every episode. It's the only way.

Anyone else looking forward to Jim and Karen getting together tonight and shoving it in Pam's "I can't, Jim, I'm engaged to a loser" face? :D

Please refer to Jim and Pam as JAM. Thank you.
And as I mentioned to someone in a PM, I want Jim to bang the other chick before he gets Pam. In the end, I want JAM.

I figured as much. Thanks for the clarification.
EDIT: The search "Jim, Pam" in Google led to a ton of links relating to The Office. I'm gonna play a hunch and say that The Office is causing all this consternation.

I must say that other girl is fine. Exotic as Michael would say. ;)
