Big Day was a dramatic comedy television series that initially aired on ABC from November 2006 to January 2007. The show revolved around the events leading up to a fictitious couple's wedding day. Each episode of the series was named after a specific hour of the wedding day, with the series as a whole taking place over a 24-hour period.

The main characters of the show were Alice and Danny, played by Marla Sokoloff and Josh Cooke, respectively. Alice and Danny were an engaged couple who had been together for several years. They were joined by a talented cast, including Miriam Shor playing Alice's sister and fellow Bridesmaid, Becca, who was dealing with her marriage problems.

The series followed Alice and Danny on their wedding day as they prepared to exchange vows. However, they faced a barrage of obstacles that threatened to ruin their special day. From last-minute venue changes to unexpected family drama and other mishaps, nothing seemed to go according to plan.

Other characters included Alice's parents - her mother, played by Wendie Malick, and father, performed by Stephen Rannazzisi. On the other hand, Danny's parents, played by Kurt Fuller and Stephnie Weir were a more laid back family that meant well but often found themselves in odd situations.

As the wedding approached and the characters' stories developed, they navigated a range of emotions, including anticipation, excitement, and anxiety. Each episode introduced new twists, turns, and surprises, but despite the struggles, the couple continued to move forward towards their ultimate goal of getting married.

The show's unique structure and prolonged timeline created engaging and dynamic storytelling, making viewers feel like part of the wedding party. The show's pacing was also a significant aspect of its success, taking viewers through the day in real-time to maximize the tension and drama.

While Big Day was short-lived and only aired for one season and twelve episodes, it remains a favorite among audiences who appreciated its humor and heart. It was the precursor to several other shows that utilized the real-time concept and tackled landmark events like weddings, The Office and 24 being the most prominent examples.

Overall, Big Day's complex stories, unique structure, and well-developed characters made it an engrossing and entertaining show that will always have a place in the hearts of its fans. It was a smart and funny look at the inherent joys and stresses of planning and executing one of life's most significant milestones. If you are into comedy or want to relive your wedding, then this show is your call.

Big Day is a series that ran for 1 seasons (13 episodes) between November 28, 2006 and on
