It'll never be the same. Fingers crossed it's entertaining, though. 'Battlestar' was a remake that worked, so there's always hope.

Let us know what it's like.

Thanks for reminding us buffalogirl! I have the original on dvd which I bought for my husband, and never got around to watching it. He watched the whole thing. I don't know about a re-make. Let's hope it's good.

The original V movies and series are some of my favorite tv programming of all time. I was excited when I learned of this remake, or whatever it is. My expectations cannot and will not be even close to the original series. I'll just take it for what it is and try to enjoy it!

i am sure it will not be as good as the first one but you never know ? i will definitely watch it a few times before i judge it though! i am with you 80'srocked V was one of my favorites too i loved watching it every week i wonder why they never showed those shows again on the tv land channel or somewhere? hell they could show that instead of the old bonanza shows over and over lol

They actually did run all the original V movies and tv series on TV Land a few years back, only once though. I agree that it should be on more often. You can buy them all on dvds too.

I watched some of the original on Syfy off and on yesterday. I didn't remember a lot of it. It had the blonde lady- who my husband loved when he was a kid. He called her "the hot blonde chick" lol.

okay what were your thoughts on the new series? i liked it although i didn't think they would start from the beginning again? i have never seen the actress playing diane's old part has anyone else? i thought the show was pretty good so i will be watching it again next tuesday!!

I thought it was a bit of a let-down. I'll keep watching though. My expectations were too high I guess. The original was so good that I should have not expected this to come close to it. Oh well....

A few actors looked familiar. The lead actress for the V leader was in the "Stargate SG-1" show I watched. The woman cop is in the show "Lost". The priest was in the Speilberg series, "Taken". See the pattern? They all worked in Sci-fi before.

Devolution here,

I thought it was good, they just jumped in a bit differently. They had to, the entire concept of technology never existed in the original series. The woman leader was the escort from the TV show "Firefly'. Short hair now though. I have been revisiting the first V. It's great. But this one has potential. I'll save the spoilers.

thanks for the info 80'srocked and devolution i think it will get better each week myself! last night on one of the entertainment shows they were saying that the leader was suppose to be obama and their were things she said on the show that related to him also like talking about universal healthcare lol wierd!!
 
Posted by buffalo-girl (Member # 7498) on :
 
the last show of the season is on tonight already!! i guess they only made 5 shows or so to see how well it would do? i think it will be back though it has gotten good ratings so far previews look good for tonight so i will be watching for sure! then have to click back and forth to see who wins the finals of dancing with the stars hoping kelly ozbourne wins but looks like it may be maya or donny osmond? lol

I am still watching, but I don't think it will be back.....we'll see. Most people I know stopped watching after the pilot show.
