EARLY EDITION MARATHON
Decades, 12:00 p.m. ET
Here’s a show that hasn’t been televised or circulated hardly at all since its original run on CBS – though it ran for four years (1996-2000), and starred a then-unknown actor who would soon become a beloved TV star thanks to Friday Night Lights. Its star is Kyle Chandler, and the premise of Early Edition, in those mostly pre-Internet days, was that the main character, Chandler’s Gary Hobson, would pick up the daily newspaper delivered to his doorstep, and find it was full of the next day’s news. He therefore had 24 hours, armed with that advance knowledge, to either cash in on it or try and change the predicted timeline for the better. Because this was network TV, he went the more noble route… and today and tomorrow, Decades is showing as many episodes of Early Edition as it can make room for in a two-day marathon.
