invasion - will it be back


does anyone know? i signed a online petition a little while ago but god knows who you need to speak to, it was wrong to not do a second series, especially when we have crap stuff on tv with less ratings and get to see them on tv every week

You're performing CPR on a corpse, folks. It's gone.

There's an online petition? Where do I sign. Those ALWAYS work.



I don't know, they were jammies. They had Yodas and s**t on em.

well the petition thing worked for jericho so who knows , but then again invasion has been gone for a while now , id love to see it back i really enjoyed it .






Victims...........arent we all.

The online petitions should get zero credit for Jericho's return. It was the legwork behind the 60 tons of nuts and and the 60 million phone calls and postcards that convinced CBS to bring it back. Even so, it's only coming back for 8 episodes.

well its better than nothing isnt it ? oh well i still hve heroes to watch so im not that fussed








Victims...........arent we all.

The location of the online petition is http://www.petitiononline.com/33030/petition.html (I had signed this form back when everything just got shut down.)

There used to be a website called Save Invasion but it's gone now...unfortunately this lost a lot of steam as ABC just wasn't interested it seems, at all, on keeping this show & they weren't getting enough monetary support to keep it running. I absolutely loved this show & still miss it. But feel free to sign the form - I am sure the website owners won't mind. :)

Thanks for the link!

I just voted.

Wrong, if ratings are good, it'll get more episodes for season two, perhaps 13-16 (depending on schedule and a few other things) and a full season three.

See why fans are NUTS about Jericho - watch it from the beginning - July 6, CBS 9/8c

I was disappointed that it was cancelled, but I'm not naive enough to expect a ratings turnaround. I'll wager that it doesn't last beyond 13 episodes. I predice a slight uptick, which prompts the ordering of another 5 and then CBS won't pick up the back 9.

reply

After being dissapointed at Invasion's cancellation I had a forboding sense that Jericho would endure a similar fate. Especially given the fact that both shows were poorly advertised.

Now with Jericho returning (I agree it was the nuts and phone calls that did the trick. The damn fax machines over at CBS were breaking down for crying out loud). It has been too long for Invasion to come back the same way. I just pray for at least a two hour wrap-up special.

reply

Yeah - if you can't get ratings in the time slot right after LOST - you can't get ratings. Too bad though.

as long as it doesn't end and leave you totally hanging the way john doe did. Which shouldn't discourage you from watching John Doe as it was genius and highly clever but the ending lets face it sucked. There ought to be an entertainment law wherein if a company produces and addictive show and ends it badly they are bound by law to produce a wrap up movie.

<i>as long as it doesn't end and leave you totally hanging the way john doe did.</i>

That's exactly what happened with Invasion. It left a knot in my gut for some time knowing that Larkin's thing would never be resolved. Personally, I feel Invasion would translate well to other mediums such as novels, comics, or video games. Anything to wrap up the story and perhaps extend it...

Invasion moved too fast. It killed itself. Honestly by episode 13, everyone seemed to be possessed by the aliens

Jericho has nothnig to do with anything. It came back because CBS was stupid and knew it. It will only be canceled again after the next 7 episodes anyways.

It got 10 million viewers and that's a lot, I don't understand why it was canceled.

Be careful what you wish for! Even if this worked and the show was to be revived on another network, it would be a completely different show. After a few months like the case of Jericho, a show can get its cast and production staff back together because they are ready to continue with producing another season, but after one year, most of the actors have moved on and can't do this project, and a lot of the writers are gone too. Some of you might be too young to remember, but in the case of the original Battlestar Galactica, it came back after a year off with new production crew and few of the actors from the first season and a lower production budget, it was for all purposes a completely new show that sucked beyond belief! All of us fans at the time that wanted it back were so disappointed after the first episode we lost interest and only this decade got what we really wanted back, the original idea.
I think in the great scheme of TV things, what doomed invasion was the competition, there were 3 new alien shows the same season, and most critics liked the CBS show more. All 3 of these shows failed, because there just isn't enough sci-fi interest to give them all support in ratings to the point they can overcome their high production costs. If any of these alien shows had started in a season by themself, maybe they could survive, but not with all this typical network TV copy-cat mindset. Don't feel bad, not being able to make enough money happened to much better sci-fi such as StarTrek, the original Battlestar Galactica. Sorry invasion fans, get over it, your show is gone, find another one

if Family Guy can come back on the air after 2 and half years of being canceled, and Jericho can come back, then why not Invasion. More people need to sign any and all petitions for the show and hopefully it will help and the show will come back for a second season. Hey, maybe we should start sending in postcards, emails and such to ABC and get them to notice us fans and realize that we want the show back on the air. It's not too late for the show... it can come back still!

Well that's not a fair parallel. The Family Guy was animated and many of the writers also did the voices and had other projects in common. Its a different deal with a live action cast and crew you have to remember these are mostly working actors and professionals they HAVE to move onto other projects to pay the bills and feed their families. So getting everyone back together after such a length of time is problematic.

reply

Also, with Family Guy being animated, the people never age. Rose, Jesse and Kira are all 3 years older now. While you wouldn't notice this so much in the adult cast, the younger cast members could have changed quite a bit.

That's okay. We need to know what happened.

There should be at least a graphic novel.

I agree.

reply

yes especially since it ended on a big cliff hanger!! i mean c'mon at least tell us what happened! since Larkin was pregnant does that mean she's gonna give birth to crazy aliens n eaten? or will the baby be aborted? or will the baby come back born? not to mention how the heck they're gonna find the grounds to "exterminate" all of the aliens that are bad... or will they all be good?

reply

Just to let everyone know on video.aol.com's web site in the in2tv channel they have the whole first season available to watch online for free. I just recently watched this series and loved it. I also recently watched Roswell and thought it was great. At least with Roswell they were allowed to create an ending. Although I also wish that show would return. With both of these shows there was so much more story to tell.

reply

I just watched it to but, there was one episode missing. Episode 19 The Son Also Rises. I have looked several places but can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know where I can see this particular episode?

reply

At this point, I think it's doubtful that we're even going to get a TV movie to wrap things up.

Seriously though guys, the show's been off the air for what? Over 3 years now? The stars have moved onto other things, don't you think it's time you did the same? Let's face it - outside of a small community of fans, the show's been forgotten.

And please spare me the Family Guy/Jericho examples. Family Guy is an animated show and easier to produce. Jericho was brought back less than 6 months after it was canceled.

The lights have gone out and they aren't coming back on again. Accept it!

reply

That's true! I had forgotten about this show, but on my Netflix it was recommended that I watch it, and I said to myself, "WOW, SOUNDS INTERESTING", then I read the reviews, just to see, and I said to myself, "CLAUDIA, YOU DUMB
ASS, YOU'VE SEEN THIS SHOW BEFORE!!! and I thought, I remember now, it got canceled a while back ago, I loved it, and would've loved to see what would've went down, just like with Tru Calling!!! What's up with these good shows getting canceled?
