Early Edition watch online HD

There's something wonderfully unpretentious about this show; I'm not sure what it is exactly, it's one of those intangible things which makes a show memorable and leaves a smile on your face when you realise that in the past hour you've been really entertained.

With a combination of good acting, good writing and strong production it seems that it manages to convey its intentions without preaching, without being `in your face' and without screaming out loud. I always think of it as an `unpretentious little show' and find myself going to great lengths to see it; our dreadful local stations see fit to put it on at 3am on a Sunday morning (God only knows why when vastly inferior shows crowd more reasonable times, I wish we had a station like CBS here in Australia that puts these shows on at reasonable times as happens in the US).

The premise of the show (a man who receives tomorrow's newspaper today and has to do what he can to set things right that appear in the paper) is very easy to get into. This alone makes the show that much more accessible, I think that anyone who takes the time will be more than justly rewarded. I am very glad to see that the show is still running on CBS and I sincerely hope that it is with us for a long time to come. It's been going since 1996 and they don't seem to be running out of ideas which is always a good sign…

All in all one of my top ten in the last decade or so, so good to see a show which doesn't rely on pretentiousness and glitter but on its own values and sheer quality of its writing, production and acting. Not only a must see but a must-return-to as well!

The German title of Early Edition is "Alone Against The Future" which would imply a science fiction show. I was disappointed when I found out that it wasn't - for about 30 seconds. Then it caught me and never released me again. Every single episode is brilliant, Kyle Chandler portrays Gary beautifully and very believably, the plots are smart, humourous and thrilling. It is fascinating (and often funny) to see how creative Gary is in solving his daily "Save Chickago" tasks. After watching I always have learned a principle, I feel entertained, my faith in the good im man is strengthened and I am eager to watch the next episode. Parents, this is the show You can have Your children watch instead of all this Pokemon crap.

What's there to say about Early Edition besides the fact that it's the best series on this side of the world. It has everything, good actors, more then enough directors and the plot. The plot, a guy (Gary Hobson) get's tommorow's Chicago Sun-Times today, he knows what will happen in the future, a thing that one should be very careful with. His personal mission, to save the world, or atleast the ones he can save in his territory, the great city of Chicago. Every day, he goes out to save the world, sometimes with his blind friend, Melissa, sometimes with Chuck (Fisher Adams), a friend that wants to place bets with the aid of the paper. Shortly told, a plot to adore, a plot that has a lot of room for different subjects. On the background Chicago and a man who's saving the lifes of his fellow-Chicago citizens.

It's just a fantastic series, don't miss it.

Early edition is a very feel good show. If you don't try to analyze every part of the plot, but rather just sit back and watch,you can't help but to enjoy it. Some super hero shows really are hard to watch, with their bad acting,and poor scripts. But this show is just the opposite,it is very good. When it is over you will get a great feeling,in knowing that there are probably people out there every day who though they might not be super heros they still do super kind deeds that go unnoticed except by the lives of the people that they touch.That is what I get out of watching this fine tv show

"Early Edition" had to be one of the best shows ever made. It tells the story of a man who gets tomorrow's newspaper today. It had such a clever plot and I had nothing to complain about it except that it was canceled. Every episode was interesting and kept me glued to the T.V.

My favorite episode was the one that Gary goes back in time to the Chicago Fire. I also liked the first episode, the episode that started it all. I also really enjoyed the episode when the paper and the cat disappear. ( I love that cat). That episode was very interesting.

I hope one day they bring this show back with new episodes. As for now I watch the reruns of it on PAX. I give this show 10/10 stars.

I was really sad to see that this show had been cancelled. I actually only started seeing this show in re-runs on Fox Family. Here was a smart show, no cliches, no mush, no garbage. Here was a show that you would actually feel comfortable watching with everyone from your thirteen year-old son/daughter to Grandma. Here was a show that caught my family's attention, and, for once, kept it. The acting was great, the storyline was original, and the setting for this show was perfect- Chicago. All you need to know is that it's about a guy (Gary Hobson), down on his luck, who starts getting tomorrow's paper today. Unlike most people, he uses the paper to save lives, not to win the lottery. This becomes his life. The show's got morals. How many shows on television today can you say that about?

So many shows these days are just dumb. I like this show because sometimes, i can't even guess what gonna happen next. I wish that they hadn't gotten rid of it, but i love watching it on PAX. (go PAX!!) The stories are interesting without being gross or sick. It's one for the whole family!

I first saw this in 1998, and I'll just say it again. This is brilliant. Trust me, almost anyone who can understand the English language will love this. The concept has been explained a thousand times by other reviewers, so I won't say it here. I will say, that this show is one of the most thought-provoking TV show I've ever seen, without making people feel uncomfortable. Again, you must see this if possible. You will love it.

CBS didn't give a damn about but it stole our hearts anyway! Kyle Chandler is Gary Hobson, a mistreated stockbroker who gets an unusual gift.His wife dumps him on their wedding anniversary and he moves to a run down hotel where he starts getting tomorrow's newspaper today delivered by a cat.Oh it's funny,it serious, Gary has two friends who can steal the show since they're both excellent too.

S*P*O*I*L*E*R for movie "It Happened Tomorrow"

Having said that I had read a post saying this show was based on the movie "It Happened Tomorrow" (1944)starring Dick Powell.I bought the DVD and the poster is right.I don't why isn't mentioned in the background of the show but it's more than just a similar idea.In the movie the old man brings the newspaper instead of a cat.He appears mysteriously like the cat at a unusual time and he's dead just as Snow is. The guy that gets the paper is named Larry instead of Gary and he works at the paper writing obituaries.Actually if the show had had Gary working at the paper he would have had an easier time of getting to his appointments. Larry also does what Gary did in the pilot.Used the paper for quick money by playing the winning race results at the track to get a large sum of money quick.Only Gary's motive was different.Larry was a combination of Gary and Chuck.He also saved someone after he asked Pops to read him the story.One other thing in the movie and done on the show-A want ad is read for a job.When the party inquires he is told no job exist,then a person is fired right on the spot and the boss says put an ad in tomorrow's paper!Oh, and Pops worked at the paper just like Snow,only he kept the obituary records.Little things that go on in the movie have been used in the show.Like the episode when Gary reads his own obituary.That happens in the movie too but it's done better.Much more lighthearted and clever.There's also a connection between Larry and a hotel in town.The movie also had the trio-Larry(Gary),a lovable con man,the Prof(Chuck)and a romantic interest who knew about Larry special paper,Sylvia(Marissa).I have always said Marissa was Gary's love interest and I think had she not been African-American the show would have gone that way. I still love the show but someone should have given credit to the person who's idea the movie was based on.Here are the credits from the movie.

Rene Clair's "It Happened Tomorrow" Screenplay and Adaption by;Dudley Nichols and Rene Clair

originals by:Lord Dunsany,Hugh Wedlock & Howard Synder and ideas of Lewis R Foster

I just started watching this after 10 years gone by. I had originally only seen a single episode of Early Edition.

The idea is not exactly an original idea but I believe the writing and production quality of each episode is great. The episodes continue to some canon; so you find later episodes referring to previous episodes, rather than independently written episodes.

You'll spot a lot of 'to be famous' faces in there and I do wonder what ever happened to Chuck and Gary as they were great actors.

As with many TV series of the 90s this is an honest and heartwarming series with much stimulation of your own thoughts and experiences, leading you to realise that hindsight is often just as powerful as foresight.

10/10 as this is one of the best series I have seen in a long time, even in 2008.

This show was perfect for everyone. Exceptional entertainment. This show had it all; action, comedy, suspense. Although it seemed to be a bit directed toward teens, adults and children would have no problem getting caught up in the story. Engaging and addicting, I had to watch it every week. It doesn't require you to catch every episode, like many recent action adventure television shows(Alias and Lost).

An original plot and script that broke free from the lot of modern stereotypical TV series. Recently, Television has run dry with shock factor. All that's on any more is "reality TV", raunchy comedy, cheesy soap operas, sex, educational TV, advertisements, sex, and advertisements. It's hard to find a good time in front of the screen anymore.

This show was awesome while it lasted. I truly hope it comes out on DVD. If it doesn't I'll give up faith in Television all together.

'Early Edition' is another 'Quantum Leap,' although it's slightly different since it doesn't involve time-traveling. Instead, our hero, Gary Hobson, gets the paper one day in advance. By getting tomorrow's news today, he has no more than 24 hours to prevent the bad news from happening.

The series has a lot of charm. I watched this show sporadically throughout its four-year primetime run, but began watching it more often during its last few months on the air.

The addition of Kristy Swanson (the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer) for the show's third season was a perfect one. Her character Erica, a single mother, was a nice match for Gary. To me, Swanson is an underrated talent, and fit into the show very well. It's just too bad that she was out of the picture for the show's fourth (and final) season. I would have liked to see her remain on the show until it was cancelled.

Of course, EE was cancelled in the summer of 2000, after four years. That is generally a good run for a show like this. While the chances for a fifth season are extremely slim (despite the best efforts of its loyal fans), reruns of the series can now be seen on the Fox Family Channel. But if you don't have cable, all is not completely lost: You have a good chance of finding EE reruns (whether daily or weekly) on one of your local stations.

Some reviewers mentioned this show had an indefinable 'something" that made it great. I would offer this show had heart. Meaning great characters with human interaction and emotion that is so lacking in most shows on the air now. That same quality is seen in old movies and shows from the past like Emergency, Adam-12, or St. Elsewhere. The idea of Gary getting the newspaper and changing the past, although interesting, only gives a platform for the great character development and human drama that revolved around Gary helping the citizens of Chicago and forming great friendships and relationships. I would recommended anyone to get this series on DVD, and I hope writers will bring back this type of character development in the future. I really miss shows like this.

A very solid tv programme about a guy named Gary Hobson who gets tomorrow's newspaper today. I liked watching it every week , but now it doesn't come on anymore which is very disappointing and sad. I liked many episodes especially "Run Gary, Run" and "Time". It was a great tv show and I wish they made way more episodes. Probably the best thing that came on tv.

This was a very entertaining TV show, and was produced well. You can't help but put yourself in the place of the main character (Gary)...like how would you stop the catastrophe that Gary is trying to "fix". The other thing that's great about the show is how much of a nice guy the main character is. The only thing that bothered me about the show is how much hard work Gary went through in his daily run. He had this massive responsibility of saving people's lives, but he never took steps to optimize how he handled doing that. If I had tomorrow's newspaper today, I would set up and orchestrate a small taskforce of dedicated (and very well paid) workers that went out on different "errands" everyday to ensure that everyone was saved. Saving lives with a future newspaper is really too much responsibility to rely on one man to do. The taskforce could be well funded by using money raised from lottery wins or sportsbetting, etc. No one would need to know how the information was gathered (they could just pretend that a clairvoyant was supplying the info or something like that). There has been episodes where Gary was not able to save someone. In fact, I remember one episode where Gary felt guilty because he didn't save someone in time, and some mystical character had to show up and tell Gary that he should "count the living" and not to count the dead (i.e. he saved much more people than the ones he couldn't save). It's too bad the show never evolved to a stage where Gary took the "taskforce" route (like maybe Gary injures himself and is stuck in a wheelchair for 6 months, but the paper still comes)...that would have been a good twist.

This story, set in Chicago, takes a remarkable look at the characters and their motives. From the north side to the south, Gary is taken all over the city (and occasionally the suburbs and Indiana), showing great views of the skyline and lots of local area architecture and attractions. Gary's friends are honest and likable, and the dialogue is fine. The cat always makes me smile, knowing that he's leading Gary on his next adventure. I liked this series when it first came out and was delighted to find it syndication has been picked up by PAX TV (soon to be I-TV). It's Monday - Wednesday nights at 9 PM. I highly recommend this.

Why "Early Edition" never got much attention I'll never know, because it was brilliant. I mean that without exaggeration; if ever a show deserved to be called brilliant, this is it. The concept alone was genius, because it was an attention-grabbing idea that didn't need much explanation... a guy gets a peek into the future each day through the local newspaper, and it's up to him to set things right. The writing was amazing, alternating between comedy and suspense. Some episodes were hilarious, and others were downright scary.

The thing I most admired about the show, I think, was the way it never ran out of ideas. A concept as simple as this one could get stale fast, and to tell the truth the show probably would have gone downhill if it had run longer, but during its four years it was always coming up with new twists and variations on the central idea. What if Gary had to save someone he didn't want to save? What if Gary had jury duty and couldn't leave his hotel to save people? What if Gary's paper was accidentally destroyed? What if Gary's not the only one who gets tomorrow's paper? Each episode had a cool new story that always made it fun to watch.

The three cast members were great, too. Kyle Chandler's Gary is probably the nicest character in TV history, and he had perfect chemistry with his friends Chuck and Marissa (how many shows have a blind black woman as a main character)? Even when Chuck left the show and other characters came and went, the two leads held it up all by themselves. I used to watch this every weekend on CBS, and I still miss it. Ah, good times.

(P.S. I can't believe this isn't on DVD yet. CBS, what is wrong with you!?)

Once you shift through all the worthless TV shows, there's a handful of decent shows left. Early Edition happens to be one of them.

Perhaps the idea that the show is based on may come off as silly, but upon watching the show, anyone would want a Gary Hobson in their neighborhood. Watching Gary run through the streets of Chicago, charge in on random activities, and come up with brilliant plans to save people is amusing and can keep one's attention for the whole hour.

The rest of the cast successfully adds variety and more amusement to the show

Catch it if you can (its worth it).

I've loved this show from the very first episode I watched, which was not the pilot, darn it all! The concept is fun: A guy who gets tomorrow's newspaper...today. He's the only one who knows what will happen and can do something about it. And when he changes things, the paper changes as well to reflect his actions. So, Gary Hobson is a modern-day superhero without flying abilities or expensive gear. He's just a regular guy who has a big heart. It's weird sometimes the situations he gets into. It's almost like the paper has a mind behind it, because it seems Gary is often pushed into situations that he doesn't really want to be in, but he NEEDS to help someone, so that's where the headlines take him. I'm always amazed by his ability to zoom right to the most relevent articles. Maybe that IS his superpower... I often feel sorry for the guy, though. It seems his job will never be over. And he may never have a love life...

I have to say, though, I was quite disappointed when they got rid of Chuck Fishman. I mean, he was the comic relief! He was the wacky sidekick! What superhero couldn't use a sidekick? Chuck was my second favorite character! And, I always did enjoy how every episode ended with a voice-over of him giving us a few words of wisdom related to the episode. Whatever happened to those? I always loved those little life's lessons at the end. But, I guess, with Chuck gone...

By the way, you think the CAT is cute? Come on! What about Kyle, aka Gary?

This is the best drama ever. I have seen these new ones that come out like Orange County and North Shore and others and there just not entertaining or touching or anything. Early Edition has all that. It was a fantastic show. Kyle Chandler was perfect for the role. I liked the way the show started out. He was just kicked out of his home by his wife and he hates his job and one day a cat with tomorrows newspaper comes to his hotel room door and thats how the whole show started. I like his two friends, Marissa and Chuck, as well. I just wish Fisher Stevens didn't leave half way through the series. He was the funny guy. The situations Gary had were always pretty cool too. Sometimes you just felt sorry for him, but at the end when he saves someone's life he feel good and they feel good and you feel good that those characters feel good. This show goes first place as my favorite drama and Touched by an Angel as second. This show should have a reunion special. Come back Gary, come back.

Now THIS is a show that can be called magnificent. Early Edition surely is one of the best drama TV shows on Earth.

The plot is awesome. A guy that receives the next day newspaper. He doesn't know why, how, and why him. Each episode is better than the other one. It´s wonderful to watch the development of the episodes. Everything he does has a consequence. And those consequences develop the histories. This episode is just amazing. If you don´t watch it, it´s a shame. Sorry...

This is one of my favorite shows in 1990's. Aired on CBS from 1996 to 2000, the show follows the adventures of Gary Hobson (Kyle Chandler) who mysteriously receives a newspaper before it is actually published and with this knowledge tries to prevent terrible future events in Chicago, IL. Sometimes he would need the help of his pals such as stockbroker Charles Fishman (Fisher Stevens) and blind girl Marissa Clark (Shanésia Davis-Williams). Charles Fishman is the glue that held the show together in my opinion. He was funny, and somewhat had depth in his character arch. He like helping people, but he also would like to make profit out of knowing events out of the newspaper. While Gary Hobson was the Boy Scout superhero of the group, Marisa acts like Gary's self-appointed conscience in the show. The characters were likable, and all too human at times, making them even more likable. The show was more likable with the Chicago atmosphere. Each episodes was pretty different from the rest, as some episodes tend to follow the same repeated patterns. One week it was humorous and the next heartbreaking. In my opinion, from all the four seasons, there are a few episodes that do stated out. The first one is the Season 1, Episode 2, "The Choice", where Gary faces a difficult decision of choosing between stopping a fatal plane crash or saving the life of a young girl. It was such an emotional episode that deals with Sofia Choice dilemmas. Any dilemma where choosing one cherished person or thing over the other will result in the death or destruction of the other makes great watching. Season 1, Episode 3, "Baby" is also a pretty good episode, rather than being emotional and intense. This movie shows the funny side of the show, with the newspaper telling Chuck that we will delivered twins on the L and him trying to avoid any pregnant women throughout the whole day. It made me laugh. Other episodes that were interesting were when Gary travel back into time like Season 2, Episode 21 "Hot Time in the Old Town" & Season 4, Episode "Everybody Goes to Rick's" where Gary witness events such as 1871's The Great Chicago Fire and 1929's St. Valentine Massacre. A great deal of guest stars came into the show such as Coolio, Robert Ebert, George Takei, and probably the best one of all, Louis Gossett, Jr. who gave an amazing performance in Season 2, Episode 2, "The Medal" playing a Vietnam Vet with Posttraumatic stress disorder. I didn't like the cross-overs episodes like the one with the cast of 'Chicago Hope' or 'Martial Law'. I thought those were really dumb. Some of the Season 3 and Season 4 episodes got really childish and extremely repetitive. Still, writers Vik Rubenfeld and Pat Page did a great job on the show, not only in bringing new modern day fantasy concept to television, but also making it entertaining. I don't believe that the creators based the show, on the 1944 feature film 'It Happened Tomorrow' a film that centered upon a newspaper reporter who received a newspaper a day in advance. I think it just happens that two people in two different eras had the same idea. It was a bit funny, how the show came to be. The creators pitch the show to Tristar by having mock newspaper created just for the meeting, and didn't tell any of the producers about it. When the producers read it, they found out that they were reading tomorrow newspapers. Thus, that is how the show was created based on the accounts of the writers. In the end of season two Chuck (Fisher Stevens) leaves the show as a regular character, leading to some major changes in season three. He left to do some movie roles in New York City. While Fisher Stevens did the voice opinion during the opening and closing of each episode. The device of his voice-over narration was shifted to at first Gary and then Marissa in season three. Soon the theme song was changed. The addition of Kristy Swanson was add to Season 3, to add a love interest to Gary Hobson. She does her role alright, but it's not a ground breaking performance. Despite that, the show still had strong ratings and loyal fan base but, CBS pull the plug in Season 4. At less, Early Edition was able to wrap the show up with the final episode unlike other shows, explaining the backstory of the newspaper and why Gary gets it. Plus, it made room, just in case if anybody willing to reboot, a story explaining why Gary give up the newspaper to somebody else. The show was canceled to make room for reality shows that CBS is coming out. With canceling Early Edition, Survivor (2000) became the hit show that year. While Season 1 & 2 might be easier to find, sadly as of this writing. Season 3 and 4 hasn't been release to DVD sells. Since Sony Pictures Home Entertainment owns the international DVD rights to the show, people in other country might not see any releases for a long time. I like how the show is titled in some of these countries. In Canada, it's known as Dinsdale's Folly and in Hungary, it's known as the chosen - The American prophet, In Germany, it's known as Alone Against The Future and wow, these titles are way off. Still, the show can be seen in reruns such channels like TV Guide Network as of this writing. It's appropriate for nearly everybody. Plus, it had a cute cat. So get out there and find the Early Edition. It's would watching.

this show was about a guy who got the newspaper a day early and instead of using it selfishly and using it for his own good he saves peoples lives. this was an amazing show!! it really caught my attention when i first saw it because it was funny and it most of the time it kept you on the edge of your seat. if you liked the show as much as i did,you Pax now has the repeats airing Monday through Thursday and 9:00pm.

Hey! Early edition is a wonderful TV show and you don't watch it? What a shame..!

Okay, it's the story of that guy who, I don't know why yet, get the newspaper of tomorrow but... today! I really like it and I don't even know why..! It's just... Powerful!

Kyle Chandler is really great! And the cat is..so cuuuute!!

WATCH IT!!!

This show is about as original and impressive as it gets! Everything from from the theme music, to the writing, to the superb acting is grade A. The show's premise alone is enough to hook you. The show maintains a very real view of life while presenting a fantastical concept (Gary Hobson getting tomorrow's paper today). The writing is sharp, the characters are well-defined, and the drama is intense, yet the comedy aspect is certainly there. Appropriate for families, yet enjoyable to all, "Early Edition" is a winner.
