V premiered Tuesday night on ABC with lots of hype and praise behind it. After watching it, I’m not quite sure why. For those that don’t know, it’s a remake of the 80’s TV mini-series about a group of alien visitors (hence, V) that claim to come in peace and offer up new technology and medicine to help Earth out. Due to their peaceful nature and wanting to give they gain lots of followers in the world that want to do whatever they can to help out. One of the ways they help out is spray painting red Vs all over the cities to be “A symbol of hope.” Now we all know they are up to something so that’s not a real shocker and when the humans find this out they have groups out to stop them but the followers won’t make it easy. In the original series it wasn’t revealed until later on that they were hostile and were actually reptilian in nature instead of human looking but these two facts are given right in the premiere episode of the remind. This makes me wonder if they have other twists up their sleeve coming in the future because so much is given away right away that I don’t know what I’m “looking forwards to.”

TV Premiere Review: V
Nov 5
If you are a fan of Family Guy you may remember the first episode when it came back from cancellation (North by North Quahog). In the beginning of this episode Peter lists off a long list of shows that “Well I suppose if all those shows go down the tubes we have a shot.” Wonderfalls is one of those shows mentioned, but unlike a lot of the others, it should not have been. The show has been out on DVD for a few years now, but I just recently sat down and watched it all and I enjoyed it very much. The show was canceled before all episodes were aired, but the DVD set contains all 13 episodes.
