Daybreak.

Groundhog Day with guns?  You lose.

I kinda' like Taye Diggs, but... come on now.  How can this possibly not suck?

Actually, I saw that ad and said, "Oh look, Taye Diggs is doing TV."  Then I saw a TV spot for it like five minutest later and thought, "God, that's horrible."

Haha, how strange. I was going to just make a reply saying "Groundhog day with guns" but you beat me to it.

That is strange. When I saw the trailer for the first time I thought, "That's like Groundhog day. With guns."

But yeah, it looks horrible. Watched the trailer and I pretty much got the whole plot. His girlfriend dies, he was probably involved with gambling or something stupid like that. No desire to see this one.

Looks terrible to me.  Groundhog day itself was hard to watch because the same stuff kept happening over and over again.  I can't imagine myself willingly tuning into a TV show that is going to recycle the same day over and over again.  Stupid.

Groundhog Day is my all-time favorite movie (don't ask), but... yeah, this doesn't work for a show.

It sounds like a cool idea on paper, at least, but after a few episodes they're going to get old unless they pull some really crazy stuff.

I do think it'd be a cool idea for something like a six part miniseries or something. You know, that's what TV needs to hop on. More miniseries. Do like half a season of some really cool stories. You can get some huge stuff going, but you can also wrap it up and actually write stories that don't have to either last for several years or potientially go on forever.

I hear ya. It's definitely in my top five. The acting, script and everything is pure genius... especially for a suposed "romantic comedy".

I haven't seen it yet, though the trailers on TV always made me interested. It looked tedious in concept though.
