TV Show Feature: Early Edition
Monday, December 28, 2009 | Labels: Early Edition tv show | 1 comments | Early Edition is a television series that aired on CBS from 1996 to 2000 and lasted for four seasons. Created by Ian Abrams, Patrick Q. Page, and Vik Rubenfeld, the show revolves around Gary Hobson (Kyle Chandler), a man who mysteriously receives each Chicago Sun-Times newspaper the day before it is actually published, and who uses this knowledge to prevent terrible events each day.
The series dealt with a common theme of time-travel dramas — the theory that changing the present produced potentially adverse consequences in the future. Its plot usually starts with Gary receiving the newspaper, apparently delivered by a ginger tabby cat, no matter where he goes every morning, except on some special occasions. He would then try to prevent tragedies described in "tomorrow's" Sun-Times from occurring, whereby story text and headlines in the newspaper change to reflect the outcome of his actions.
Set in the city of Chicago, Illinois, Early Edition featured many real Chicago locations over the course of the series' run.
