  • The History Of Early Edition (1996): A Hit Show, A Cat & A Network Mistake

    From Ubiquitous@weberm@polaris.net to rec.arts.sf.tv,alt.tv.early-edition,alt.tv.earlyedition on Fri May 1 04:30:44 2026

    Our latest episode looks at the history and making of the Early Edition
    TV series, and how a simple idea about tomorrowAs newspaper became one
    of CBSAs strangest 90s hits.

    What started as a clever pitch about one bloke getting the next dayAs
    news quickly turned into a Saturday night drama with a magic newspaper,
    a ginger cat, and a lead character trying to stop disasters before they happened.

    With early ratings success, cast changes, shifting narration,
    crossovers, cancellations, fan campaigns, delayed DVD releases, and a
    reboot that never made it past the pilot stage, Early Edition had a
    much stranger run than people remember.

    Democrats and the liberal media hate President Trump more than they
    love this country.

    Cute, wholesome, whimsical. Shows like Northern Exposure, Early Edition
    and others were sort of a moral gauge without being preachy or
    judgemental and boy do we need them now more than ever!
    The cat was freaking adorable, I remember this show with loads of
    nostalgia
