Related two-part strangeness from television network ABC:
1. ABC's decision in the first place (which I'm just hearing about) to remake the obscure 1980's series "V" -- which concerned an extraterrestrial alien invasion of the world. "V" wasn't exactly the greatest example of 1980's television. It wasn't terrible, but it was fairly bland and mediocre. As such, it would seem odd to pick that series for a remake.
2. But hold on! A rumor being reported on the first link below is that the remake series, which is currently scheduled to start airing in November, is running into hesitancy at ABC because the series deals with "aliens," even though apparently the show's characters are not allowed to use the "A" word on the show. And if there's any truth to that, then why did ABC send the show into production in the first place (as the same link also notes)? Weird, weird, weird.

I'm looking to the show. V may not have been terribly good, but remember "Lost in Space"?
ReplyDeleteThere have been many bad pieces of Science Fiction over the years, I think, Merlin. I wouldn't even put the original V series in the bad category. Rather it was just pulled off in a mediocre, sort of mid-80's kind of fashion. I would be interested in seeing the new series, which I'll try to catch in November (presuming it still airs!).
ReplyDeleteWhat I'm really looking forward to is the new movie 2012. Can't wait for that to come out. Do some research on the subject. Could make for an interesting post imo.
