After his father's mysterious death, a young novelist confronting writer's block, steals back to his rural roots, in search of inspiration - and answers. On his ferry trip to Glory, a person goes overboard and dies. It seems an accident, but the novelist thinks otherwise. His best-selling first novel revealed the seamy underbelly of his hometown - so the home folks are furious at the prodigal's return. He tries to get help from the strong-willed, beautiful, local coroner (Poppy Montgomery). Glory Days' novelist hero Mike Cahill return to "Glory" has similarities to acclaimed novelist Dave Grubb's life. "Glory" was also the name Grubb used for a fictionalized Moundsville, West Virginia in his writing. Davis Grubb was a descendant of an old prominent family in Moundsville.

from seconds to an Hour

I was flippin' though the channels one day and found this show on the WB channel. I meant to look for a few seconds, and stayed an hour. Nothing spectacular sticks out by itself, but all the parts together make for a fun show. Good acting, good writing, good direction and even the somewhat far fetched plot in most episodes, combine for a good show. I hope being on the WB will give this show a chance to last a little longer.
