There are so many possibilities and problems that I can't imagine the struggle to keep it to movie length. According to the "rules" of the movie, if he left town, he would end up in bed at 6:00 AM just like always.
There, I recall was a show on ABC from almost 15 years ago called Day Break, which was basically Groundhog Day if it was a serious, murder mystery:

Might've got a bit repetitive if it was a TV series of somebody living the same day over and over.
Assuming it was an hour long (or 40 minutes plus commercials), every season there'd be several hours of footage of the same person waking up on the same day over and over again. Far longer than the movie lasted.
I don't see it staying interesting. I didn't feel there was anything that was missing from the movie that would be worth explaining in more detail in a TV show. Maybe if he went looking for what was causing the time hop, but that was never really the point of the movie and I think people would eventually lose interest in waiting to see that resolved.
Only if the person watching the series was Groundhog Daying as well. Then he would never get sick of the same thing over and over because he wouldn't remember he already saw it.
shareNo. Absolutely not. The change and resolution had to come before the viewers got sick of the character and situation, in less than 2 hours.
It'd be deadly dull as a TV show, just episode after episode of that jerk being a jerk in a boring little town.
I'd say maybe if it's a show similar to Black Mirror it might work. Something that has the magic of the day constantly repeating itself for someone in different situations, days, etc..and it doesn't always have to be on a Holiday. I could get behind something like that.
I'd also like a something like what I'm talking about for Last Action Heros idea with the magic ticket that opens up a movies world for the viewer to enter.
