V !!!!!!!
 
Man I never thought I'd see the day when V would get resurrected! I loved that show back in the mid 80s. Now the producers have brought quite the epic non-cable sci-fi series back and modernized it!

Who all caught the show?

They have some recognizable sci-fi actors. The pilot guy from Firefly; that queen of the O'rai chick from Stargate; the female doctor Juliet from Lost; the blonde guy from 4400; Kara from Smallville;

This remake is very promising...now that Defying Gravity got yanked. I hope there will be cameos from some of the old actors/actresses.

I caught part of the marathon over the weekend. Definitely not what I remembered, but good to watch it nonetheless. :)

Just watched the new version. I must say I am impressed. Acting wasn't half bad and the plot was engaging.:tu

Yes, yes it is.
They like to remake things but forget the things they remake were once original and really good!

I've been layed out with a bad back the past few days and watched almost the entire thing. Very cool series, but I missed the new episode tonight.

SyFy or Hulu should have it streamed by now.

I caught a few episodes this last week. I also thought it was a good miniseries when it came out.

I just watched Alf a couple weeks ago!! I don't remember what station it was on, though. WGN maybe? There was a whole block of old shows - WKRP in Cincinatti, Alf, Newheart ...

You can watch it on hulu.com or abc.go.com

We watched it last night. Unimpressed enough to ignore the rest. Can't understand the buzz. I was amused by the references to the blind adoration of a certain politician by his over-emoting devotees though. I guess that makes it a horror series.

I finally watched last week's premier and also think it looks promising. Can't wait to watch upcoming episodes.
