Early Edition

Early Edition was a television series on CBS that ran from September 28, 1996 to May 27, 2000. The show dealt with the life of Gary Hobson (Kyle Chandler), a Chicago man (initially a stock broker, later a bar owner) who mysteriously received newspapers (specifically, the Chicago Sun-Times) a day ahead of time, effectively giving him knowledge of the future. His newspaper gets delivered by his cat no matter where he goes every morning, except on some special occasions. He would then try to prevent tragedies from occurring, whereby the newspaper will reflect the outcome of his actions.

Within the course of the series, Gary discovers that another person, or maybe even a few people, share his gift of receiving the newspaper "early". The only people, besides Gary, who know about his gift are his parents, and his two friends Chuck and Marissa. On some occasions, he is given the ability to wake up in another time (such as in the early 1900s) to change the past. People Gary encounter in his life often know that he has a secret, but do not know what specifically it is.

Since the divorce of his wife, he mostly devoted his time to saving people, thus rarely having time for his own personal life.

The show co-starred Fisher Stevens as Chuck Fishman (1996-1998), and Shanesia Davis-Williams as Marissa Clark. Regulars in the series include Detective Crumb, Erica and her son Henry, Detective Toni Brigatti, and the new waiter at McGinty's Patrick Quinn. After 27 May (end of its fourth season), CBS decided to end the run of this series, much to the dismay of fans. The series is only broadcast on television and has not been released on DVD/VHS yet.
