Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
ooh, Allyson has whet my appetite.
Mine too. Thanks!
Though I think I may have to annotate that a bit for people who aren't us.

Adam Baldwin's pilot, Day Break, just got ordered by ABC. Jeff Bell is supposed to be the showrunner.
ETA for series premise:
Did you ever have a day so bad you couldn't wait to get past it? The kind of day nothing goes your way, and everything turns out wrong. What would happen if you couldn't put this day behind you literally? Today Detective Brett Hopper will be accused of shooting state attorney Emilio Garza. He will offer his rock solid alibi. He will realize he's been framed. And he will run. Then he will! wake up and start the day over again. This time he'll do it differently – and will continue to – until he finds out who's framing him, gets his gang witness to court to testify, and until he saves the lives of his loved ones. Hopper has only one advantage in his favor – he remembers everything he did the "day prior" that didn't work. It's a painful way to learn because he also carries the bruises and battle scars from every mistake-filled day. Hopper must find the delicate balance between doing what's important and what's right to get through this killer day and move on to tomorrow.
It sounds like Groundhog Day meets Tru Calling or something.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Thanks for the news, Kristen. The folks at the Firefly OB will be glad to hear it.

No problem! Though, technically, I should probably call it Taye Diggs's pilot since he's the Brett Hopper character. AB plays someone named Chad Shelton. (HA! Chad!)
ABC also announced 4 other orders, including JJ's pilot (Six Degrees) and Hank Steinberg's pilot (The Nine), which sounds like it could be interesting.

Adam Baldwin's pilot, Day Break,
Umm I presume this eventually moves on to a second day after he gets it right a la Tru Calling? Cause "groundhog day the series" would get old fast.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
It sounds like Groundhog Day meets Tru Calling or something.
Or Groundhog Day meets 24.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm surprised they never tried that concept before. I hope it doesn't become really boring over the course of a season. I'm also excited to see AB stretch to a leading role type. Love him!
