That really sucks. This show is very well done and its a shame that it's not getting the ratings it deserves. It's going on my list of ABC shows that died undeservedly, along with "Eyes".

God damnit. This pisses me off. Why can't they just let it run it's entire course (which is only half a season anyways!) I really love this show and i really want to finish it! And if they go the 'put it online' route i'm gonna scream! Since i live in Canada i can't view any online episodes from TV shows.

Cmon ABC. Don't let down the couple million people who ARE watching it.

If they are going to pull, I hope they at least have the unaired episodes on their site or iTunes.

I would suspect that ABC would air the last five episodes of Day Break in the same timeslot they are moving Lost to instead of Primetime, which they are airing now. That would make sense, to me, at least. Wait, a network making sense, what am I thinking? Anyway, I still can't believe how few people are watching Day Break. It is actually a pretty good show. With all the serial TV shows dropping by the wayside so far this season, this is one where you are actually promised a resolution in just 13 short weeks. A good action-mystery show with an ending that wraps things up and nobody is watching is something that doesn’t make sense to me. I for one really hope they don't pull it. Watching a show stream over the Internet is fine on the occasion that you missed something or forgot to set your TiVo but for general viewing I would much rather sit in front of my television.

Well, that sucks. It's a well-written show (surprisingly so), and deserves better than to be The Show Everyone Pouts About Not Being Lost.

Don't know about anyone else, but that does it for me. No more watching these serialized shows. I'll wait til they come out on DVD if I want to see them. The networks continue to blow it- no wonder they keep losing audience share.

Not a surprise since it's just never acheived the numbers they've wanted. It's a pretty safe bet that we won't see a second season but, I'm sure ABC will show the remaining episodes one way or another.

I have been watching it and I enjoy it - I hope that we are able to find out how it ends.

Not surprising.

Can't Daybreak move to Men In Trees old spot? They promised us they would finish it.

Jonathan, I live in Canada too. There are ways around that problem. You can view the site through a US based proxy server and it works fine.

If they're going to finish this really good show on the web, I'd love to see ABC do the unexpected and torrent the final episodes. At least that way Jonathan and others in his situation can watch the conclusion, too.

Couldn't they just drop Day Break to 10 pm until Lost comes back. Lost doesn't come back until Feb 7th. Day Break is supposed to be in Lost time zone and as of Jan 3rd, Lost's time slot is 10 pm.

Now that is just ridiculous! It was only going to be like 13 episodes anyway. The whole reason I started watching it was because it was going to finish in one season and would stay on!

DAMN YOU ABC JUST LET IT FINISH!

I'm with Mark, I am done watching these new serials when they air. I am going to let at least half a season que up before I invest my time in anything. That way, if they get canceled stupidly, I can just delete them all and not get worked up about it.

ABC's affiliate website states that the new line up for Wednesday night will not begin until January. And since Lost isn't supposed to be back until then, ABC will most likely run all of DayBreak's episodes.

ABC is really disappointing me with this. "Day Break" is turning out to me much better than I anticipated, while "Six Degrees" is a cheap gimmicky melodramatic show I had hopes for but failed miserably. Someone should switch these. I'm just waiting for them to pull "The Nine" and "Ugly Betty" which are the only two shows left of the new ones this year I'm genuinely excited for.

Daybreak is too intelligent and too complex to just be shown once. The problem with the low ratings is the fact that the "Lost" regulars are not interested in a different show. If the producers had shown the Pilot on 2 differant nights they would have gotten a bigger following. Personally I saw the previews and thought it was a concept of "Groundhod day" as did most of the viewing public. But after realizing it wasn't a movie in the theaters (way too long for that) but a TV Series, my first thought was this show was worth seeing. After viewing the 2 hour pilot, my first thoughts were "Im glad I taped this" because this is too complex of a concept to be on tv. There are Details that the average person will easily miss when they just plunk themselves down and lethargicly watch, much like some of the other shows that you can miss a 10 minute clip and still know exactly what is going on.
If the producers want a bigger following, they should show the Pilot on an alternate night and show the same episode on consecutive nights like they currently do with both "Grey's" and "Desperate housewives". The average viewer who didn't see the pilot will be lost if they walk into the subsequent episodes. Perhaps a "Daybreak" Marathon would bring more viewers and interest. Daybreak may be one of the best written shows television that have been broadcast in quite a while. Because of this it should be given its due.
The cast is well put together with few minor exceptions. Taye Diggs is a very likable character which is a great premise. Every woman on the show is exceptional and attractive. There's no reason why with a little more exposure this could be the biggest hit of the season.

This is crazy! This is the best show I have seen since Lost began. This show needs a fighting chance. If I recall, 24 did not do that great at first (I know it is a different network, but still) I don't know why ABC cannot just let it finish out at the 10pm slot and do more advertising for it. The network did not stand behind it enough, they should be doing the repeats on the weekend or another day, 'IF YOU MISSED THE DAYBREAK PREMIERE, WHY DO YOU GET CAUGHT UP BY WATCHING IT FROM THE BEGINNING" They did that with Grey's Anatomy. Ratings are very important, but you have to invest it something as great as this for it to be as big as LOST, Grey's Anatomy, 24 and so on. What is wrong with these people. It needs to stay so that I can watch Lost and Daybreak on Weds. This is just wrong!

Somebody mentioned Canadian viewers can watch ABC's online episodes via a U.S. based proxy server.

Can anyone enlighten me on how that can be achieved??

Thank you.

Great Show .... but GREATER Shame On ABC.
This network has done this over and over.
Here are a few very good shows that come to mind (cancelled):
- 10-8
- Eyes
- Commander in Chief (the writing from all the internal chaos did cause the show to deteriorate .. but still decent)
And now DayBreak!
I don't understand why this network acts in such haste??!!!
Why would networks choose to air repeat programming in place of new and exciting dramas is beyond me. Not to mention (as have others here) there were only a handful of episodes left.
A complete and utter waste of resources.. and what about the viewership? We have invested our hard earned time here. Don't we matter? I guess not.
We've been used and abused way too many times!
Network television gets less and less impressive by the minute!
