    Anyone remember this series? It went four seasons before being canceled. Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights) played Gary Hobson, a divorced bachelor who had nothing going right for him. His ex-wife (a lawyer) managed to get everything in a divorce settlement, was stuck in a dead-end job as a stockbroker, and forced to live in a hotel. His life changed when one morning tomorrow's newspaper ended up at his doorstep (along with a mysterious orange cat). Like most people, he used his newfound gift to win money at the races. However, when he realized that there were major catastrophes going on as well, he barrels down on his ethics & morals and believes that the paper came to him for a reason. Hence, he spent his days changing the future headlines by saving people and making a difference in their lives.

    Along the way, the hotel he lived in was burnt down, but he managed to inherit a bar where he now is co-owner of. Romantic relationships are hard to come by, due to the fact that the paper manages to interrupt his daily life by mysteriously appearing at the most inappropriate times, reminding him of the job he swore to take. He also finds out that he was not the first person to receive the early edition and he most certainly wouldn't be the last. Only his best friends (and his parents) know of his secret for if it were ever to be revealed, he would no longer receive it. Although sometimes he thinks of it as a curse, he realizes that the paper doesn't control his life and he is free to choose what he does with his life.

    The series is canceled a few episodes within the fourth season and an official DVD set was never released.

    So, what do you think?
