Them & US: E is for Early Edition!

Another letter with not too any 'E' shows that I watched. I used to like this show but the best bit by far was the beginning with the cat. Who doesnt want a cat that miaows when the psychic newspaper arrives? Yes, thats right...my choice is Early Edition.

IMDB says...

His name is Gary Hobson. He gets tomorrow's newspaper today. He doesn't know how. He doesn't know why. All he knows is when the early edition hits his doorstep, he has twenty-four hours to set things right.


I should say that the IMDB rating is 7.4 and it in no way deserves this high a score (imho), I would give it a 6.1 and that would be about the right mark! lol Agree? Disagree?


What I liked


Like I said before I liked the cat and I liked the idea of knowing what was going to happen before it did and also that he was to rescue someone, thinking about it the storyline of how he becomes this hero is really good but I don't remember being addicted to it or too bothered if I missed an episode.
The leading man was inoffensive and easy on the eyes.
His best friend was pretty funny (if memory serves me correctly).

What I didn't like


It had no oomph but that could be a bad memory, what did you think?
Even in the five minutes to save them scenarios the tension never built.

Other 'E' shows


It would be very remiss of me not to mention ER..I liked this show when it came out and if I turn on the TV and they are showing repeats I will always watch. 


What is your favourite 'E' show?

  2. Me too! But more Gotcha era (an early 80's movie of his, so bad, it's good...one of my all time favorites!). I'm also a huge Shane West fan (although they didn't play his storyline out right).

  4. I haven't seen Early Edition, but I loved the earlier seasons of ER with George Clooney and Anthony Edwards. And call me crazy, but I really enjoyed Everybody Loves Raymond. It always guaranteed a good laugh.
