Will check in later. I don’t usually watch network TV until its out in DVD. Making an exception—hoping for some satire and laughs.

My guess is that this will be on HULU or ABC.com tomorrow.

Hoping they post it on HULU fairly quickly PING.

Not even interested, you've been watching too much news dude................THIS IS A SCIENCE FICTION STORY WHICH WAS WRITTEN LONG AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To: SonOfDarkSkies
Well, here it comes.
I don't know if I will make it through the entire opening night...but I hope this is a scathing attack on Obama's hope and change!
But is it really an allegory?

"but “it's also a barbed commentary on Obamamania that will infuriate the President's supporters and delight his detractors,” Miami Herald TV critic Glenn Garvin asserted in a review distributed by the McClatchy/Tribune news service and run in Tuesday's Chicago Tribune, among other papers."

For what it is worth I think the original series was a reworking of Sinclair Lewis’ “It Can’t Happen Here” which was a novel about fascism coming to America. Now I’m not a big fan of Lewis’ but I think it is entirely possible that just because a story of fascism taking root in America was written long ago does not necessarily mean that it can’t speak to our time when just such a thing is happening . . . otherwise we might as well toss the Huxley and Orwell books. Just my humble opinion though :)

Just my humble opinion, of course...but I request a butt-naked interview with the cute alien female with the short haircut.
Just to make contact, of course!
