    Anyone remember this.
    His name is Gary Hobson. He gets tomorrow's newspaper today. He doesn't know how. He doesn't know why. All he knows is when the early edition hits his doorstep, he has twenty-four hours to set things right.
    Was a great show from what I remember of it, had a 4 season run.

    Can anyone remember if it ends anyway well(I didn't see the end)? I don't want to read reviews and have it ruined.

    Quick look there, seems like it's going to be hard to find Season 3 and 4.

    It was cancelled, but it had a proper ending. I'm keeping it deliberately vague, but Gary found out why he had been getting the newspaper.

    Ending:
    In season four, episode 420, "Time" (the series finale that aired a few episodes early), it is briefly explained why Gary started receiving the paper. Apparently, he was given the responsibility by Lucius Snow (the man who received the Chicago Sun-Times before Gary), after Snow saved Gary's life when Gary was a child. The responsibility is represented by a pocket knife imprinted with the initials of the person next to receive the paper (Lucius gave Gary the red Swiss Army Knife). The initials mysteriously change every time the current person decides on a new person to receive the responsibility. At the end of the same episode, Gary passes on the same pen knife to a young girl named Lindsey Romick who had just lost her grandfather; and it is implied that Lindsey will begin receiving the paper when Gary is no longer able to carry on the responsibilities.

    So LOST basically just ripped off Early Edition:pac:
