V !!!!!!!

tchariya · 11-03-2009, 08:21 PM

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.

SyFy re ran the old mini series and regular series Sunday thru today.

Still watching it, but the new one is recorded!

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

Any bets on Alf getting resurrected??

Is Hollywood REALLY this crippled???

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

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 ...

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

I enjoyed it!! I will keep watching

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.

ya... no ABC

Sometimes it SUCKS up here

SyFy or Hulu should have it streamed by now.

TonySmith · 11-04-2009, 06:32 PM

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

Kreth · 11-03-2009, 09:05 PM

The first episode looked promising. I can do without a Beastmaster cameo...

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.

ucla695 · 11-09-2009, 08:25 PM

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