    what tv show had a man ask for tomorrows newspaper today

    from 50's or 60's it was not a twilight  zone episode as i thought it was until i purchased the complete set of the twilight series and it wasn't there. the man as recollect wished for the newspaper for next day so he could take advantage of stock market and sports betting and at the end of the day before the real paper comes out the paper blows away as he waits for the bus and as he runs to get it the bus hits him and under the wheel of the bus is the paper with a news article about a man killed last night by a bus so all the time he had the paper that day he didn't know his obit was in in it.

    I only know of a later one. It was called Early Edition and ran from 1996 - 2000. 

    Thanks to yahooanswers.com and Nancy G., who responded (and corroborates Colleen's answer):


    The name of the series was "Early Edition" and the main character - Gary Hobson - 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.


    Hope this helps!
