I couldn't believe it when I read that this well done, exciting TV show was not coming back in the fall. A friend said it had not been "canceled," but wouldn't start in Sept. I must agree with other reviewers when they talk about the lack of vision and sense of the network execs.when deciding the fate of excellent shows. Invasion had very little press by the network compared to others (Housewives, etc).Even critics loved this show, but the network didn't play it up in advertising.
It seems their answer to a show not doing well in the ratings is to put it up against one that is well established...a sure fire death knoll for many. One major thing the network did wrong was to take it off the air mid season (for whatever reason) long enough for viewers to go somewhere else rather than watch the lame substitutes they DID air in that time slot. Some of us HATE so-called reality shows and are looking for well written fiction...drama, comedy, sci-fi, romance....
We're looking for quality stories and superb acting. Watching people make fools of themselves for money and their 15 minutes of fame is only food for the mindless, not quality TV.
Invasion is entertaining and the characters are well developed. This past season was the best...it was going somewhere, and, darn it, I want to see where Cassidy is taking us!! If they are looking for a night to run it, there are several nights during the week void of good programing. Keep it away from the "new show spoilers" and advertise, advertise, advertise. With the right promotions and some faith in Mr. Cassidy's abilities, this could be a great boon for the network. In case it's lost on anyone, I find Invasion one of the best sci-fi offerings to come along on television in a long time.
