"Invasion" Tv Series won’t live to see a second season (firefly mention)
Wednesday 1 March 2006, by Webmaster
Question: OK, I’ve come to terms with the reality that Invasion probably won’t live to see a second season. But even if it’s canceled, what are the chances of all 22 episodes eventually being released on DVD? I didn’t get a chance to record many of the earlier episodes (which ABC is unlikely to repeat), and I just want to be able to treasure and keep these wonderful 22 hours forever and ever! - Molly
Matt Roush: I don’t want to be an alarmist about Invasion just yet, although there’s no question that the odds (given this season’s record) are against its return. But whether or not it’s renewed, I can’t imagine it won’t be released on DVD. This is just the sort of well-produced, absorbing cult thriller that will play beautifully on DVD, unfolding slowly and creepily and without making you wait a week between chapters. But officially, I don’t know if or when this will happen. I don’t cover the DVD business, but it seems a no-brainer for Invasion to go the way of Firefly at the very least. 63

MOLLY,
I have all episodes so far, from Number 1 through to Number 17, all on DVD, if you care to e-mail me, maybe I can help you. Invasion is an awesome TV series, I think Its far better than LOST, no disrepect but thats my choice not anyone elses, cant wait for the remaining 5 episodes which means if they do shoot a series 2 atleast i have series 1 on DVD..

Finally I found another great series to follow Lost on my Wednesday and now it ’s looking as though Invasion isn’t going to last another season but to be replaced by yet another CSI follower. "Evidence", although well written is yet another police investigative who-dun-it replacing a series like "Invasion" that was a little out of the norm but a good Sci-Fi for those of us who like a story plot that could make a viewer have to think what could happen next and not have to be about the typical rapist, murder, psycho serial killer that hits more to what really does happen in America each day. It’s nice if only for an hour to be able to escape the reality of the real world and be involved in something else and a good "Sci-Fi" is the way to do it!!!
Please put Invasion back on, isn’t the real world, the news, and reality enough...................................... I agree with the Firefly Mention and would like to know if it won’t be appearing another season when will the DVD’s be for sell or will they?

I LOVE Invasion. I have been confused about what happened, because I didn’t hear anything about it being dropped, ABC just put a new series in its place. I very anxiously awaited the new episodes and was so excited when they finally showed them. I will be so disappointed if the show is cancelled. I think it is one of the best new shows. I think it is just as good as Lost, which I also love. However, I agree that if it is cancelled, they should definitely put the episodes on DVD. I have seen every episode, but would love to have them all.

I can never understand the mentality of American production companys I know you have to cater for all tastes but to see some of the benile shows ABC have decided to keep beggers belief I am so tired of getting into one of your series for it to be cancelled early it makes me not want to start watching it the first place.

I am all for supporting people’s work and not resorting to piracy. But it’s all up on bit torrent. And if those (insert very very very foul language here) guys at ABC canceled the show, and are not demostrating any plans to rerelease it on DVD, what’s the difference if we do donwload it?

I think somebody does not want to keep on producing a second part of Invasion because its content is absolutely true ... something like what happens on the tv serie has really happened in Earth...

I can’t belive this! I am 15 years old and Invasion is the only sci-fi show I watch and for it to be cancelled is (not to be rude) one of the stupidest things ABC can do! I don’t really like lost because i find it to confusing to try and watch it at this piont being that im not a frequent watcher. Invasion was always leaving me hanging wanting more it was an amazing series! Personally I think that it being replaced by "evidence" is crazy we have more than enough csi flicks and don’t need anymore, im not saying i don’t like CSI but theres enough of them on television today and not enough shows like invasion. In the end all im saying is please air the following episodes of invasion well atleast show a searies finale! please!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks and i hope it all works out.
P.S. i wouldn’t mind the (firefly mention)

I really enjoyed Invasion and recorded the show every week during the season. I was unable to watch the
program during its brodcast time and looked forward to watching it at a later time. I thought the show
had a great theme and it got your imagination stimulated. I think the network and producers should at least
give Invasion one more season before shelving the program.....Thank you.....Brad Olson

I am so disappointed that Invasion is not coming back. I kept wondering why I had not seen any advertisement about when the new season would start. This was a great show and totally different. I thought it was better than Lost. It seems that the networks just keep putting on ridiculous comedy programs that are so stupid they aren’t even funny and shows that are full of drugs, killing, and sex. I sure wish ABC would give Invasion another chance or another network would pick it up.

Why, oh why did the powers that be, cancel this great show? It was one of the most interesting and absorbing programs I have seen in a long time ! I was really looking forward to seeing the program included in the Fall line-up. What happened?

This was one of the best series around. It is far better than lost and prison break oh yeah and those crappy reality programmes, that are mindless that just suck people in without no considersation of youth and the next generation. Lets face it reality programmes have no imagination to them other than lets get a load of people and just sick them here and there and do this nd that (its just shit)
i think invasion goes along with Quantum leap like back in the day.
so please let there be another series.

I cannot believe that invasion won’t be back for a second season!! I’m so upset, I really got into it and now are we never to know what happened to everyone in the second hurricane, cmon, i can’t believe they will just be leaving us hanging....I wonder if another channel will take it on....I would like to see the Sci-Fi channel take it.

I dont know what ABC was thinking when it cancelled Invasion, that was one of the best shows on tv. I also looked forward to the next week’s show. The have all these dumb reality shows that are not any good but take a great show like invasion off. Some one must really be dumb.

Invasion was the kind of show people looked forward to seeing each week. Compared to the other crap they put on T.V. this was something that drew you in and had fun with your imagination. Bring back Invasion and take the rest of the reality T.V.shows and "Gilmore Girls" out!

I want to know the outcome of the show. I think the writers did a good job on this subject. It kept me interested and that is saying a lot. I think the cast did a great job as well. I hope to see it back on t.v. It is a good sci-fi show.

ok i have come to term about no invasion but they should put an ending to the whole program and not leave us hanging right in the end with no end to the story
very stupid.

I say we start a petition for a mini series (such as in "Farscape") or a movie (such as in "Serenity"/"Firefly"). I think the problem wasn’t in the show but in the advertising for the show. I wasn’t even aware of the show until part way through; and I wasn’t about to begin watching the show after it had started. Unfortunately there were probably many people like me who did the same-so it had bad ratings. Since then I have rented the show and I absolutely love it and want more. At least they should do up a petition to see if since its cancelation if they wouldn’t get more of a viewing audience. I’ll be there and so will my boyfriend who loved the show. I vote for more!!!

I am usually not one to watch this kind of show but this series kept my attention and I looked forward to the next episode. I think it ABSOULTELY STINKS that they cancelled this show. I would love to know how to send a comment to the TV station/producers of this series.

Please please please bring it back. Invasion is the best program I have watched since was a child (Now 34). Even my wife wife who hates anything skyfi, loved it. Its a travesty if we are not given the chance to see more of it!
I think its in the duty of the TV channels to show it, as they lured us in and now taken it away. Any lawer want to sew em?

My wife and I just finished watching the dvd’s of the first season and they were good viewed one after the other. On the other hand, we came to believe that watching Invasion on a week by week basis would have been tough to watch. No insult intended to it’s fans or professional staff, but it was slow and soon hard to accept the park ranger character could have any doubt once his brother in law got sucked out of their boat!
Nevertheless, the concept was cleavor: marrying different specie cultures as a mirror of our current and real different cultures.
Hopefully some station will give it another shot tho.

I like so many others have only recently got into Invasion but now I am so sad that is never got a second shot. I started watching it on a whim when a friend lent it to me, and while i think i started a little slowly, towards the end there was some fantastic viewing.
This series dealt with a lot of interesting concepts and issues in its own little way and the characters became alive and believable. I would love so much if someone picked this up, I think there is some real potential here. It sucks so bad when series are just cut!

i dont know whether its the right one, but i just found this address for ABC
ABC, Inc.
500 S. Buena Vista Street
Burbank, CA 91521-4551
im going to write to them once a week just to piss them off. they cant go around cancelling shows which people have loved - shows which havent been concluded. its just rude and rubbish. i dont like lost and invasion came on and i found myself not arranging to do other things so that i could be home to watch it. and i dont really watch tv because i think most stuff on at the moment is rubbish. thats how good it was.
so yeah, i think i might start a bring back invasion petition site. ill let people know soon if anyone is interested in helping me rally support and get this descision changed.

Well thanks ABC for trashing what was one of the best shows on TV -Invasion.
Not only do we Brits not have the creativity to produce something like this at home, when we get given it - you take it off us! and leave us wondering if there ever will be a 2nd series.
COME ON ABC - at least bring the show and story to a fitting conclusion, it deserves that.

Absolutely one of the best sci fi shows in recent years-well written, believable , dynamic ,human characters. All the relationships were well developed—time was taken for this. The story unfolded in a natural , thoughtful, creepy way. But,alas, it was just one more tv show that was a little too smart, a little TOO thoughtful, a little too different for the " great unwashed ". But the network didn’t help it AT ALL—the scheduling was sloppy and haphazard, the promotion of the show was poor, and there was obviously little real commitment to keeping the show alive. Television is crammed with too much product, much of it GARBAGE, for people to quickly discover and stay with a new show. A second season would have made this show a hit—especially with where the first season ended. Too bad the network bean counter suits didn’t have the BALLS to stand by this very unique show.

I personally miss Invasion, I wish it would have went a lot futher.
I feel the writers were brillant and the actors where great! Ecspecially
Eddie,who seems to get on great shows that get cancled or he’s
written off,for whatever reason. (ie. Thirdwatch) I’m still upset and
have to settle for re-runs.

I can’t believe that Invasion will not have a second season. All that suspence and then to have no ending. We rented the series and my husband got hooked. We both think it is by far better than Lost.

I still can’t believe it, invasion was the best show on tv, look, Iam from monterrey, mexico, and I rented the whole season, and I was hoping for a miracle to see a second season, or at least an ending. I think that’s a lack of respect. And I know many people who loved this tv show. What a shame!

As a UK viewer, I find it very frustrating that just when you really get to grips with a series you find that the American TV syndicates have cancelled the show!!! Why don’t they have faith in shows like they used to??
Miami Vice was panned after it’c first series but they stuck with it and look what happened... ...it survived for five seasons and became one of the greatest cop shows of all time!
What next will they stop....

why the hell arent they making another series? it was really good. they make loads of crap like 1 tree hill & the o.c but when they make something half decent the american audiences get confused & dont like it, so they cancel it! they cancelled twin peaks b4 it was properlly finished as well. i have to stand by my opinion that americans r stupid & like sentimental shite like the o.c & cant handel anything in which u have to use your brain. except 4 the x files, that went on 4 too long & became crap. they never get it quite right...........
am i wrong 2 think this?

I agree with everyone here - Invasion was released here in South Africa on DVD and I watched it because it was supposed to be the replacement for Surface - remember it? I really loved Surface and I also loved Invasion, but I simply cannot understand the big networks. They start a show, make a first season and then just leave everything hanging. No completion, no mention, no apologies, no nothing. At least give us a 2-hour finale or something, just to wrap up what has been started in the first 13 or more episodes. Do they do it so that they might still pick up the thread at some time in the future, or do they simply not care about us, the viewers, to make it end properly for us instead of leaving us in the dark about how the shows are going to end? I am highly disappointed in this nonchalant attitude.

I know, it been a while, it just confuses me that, they show one season, leave you hanging on for more and BAM, its not coming back. "Invasion" was a different show, not another murder mystery, which I love by the way, but in turn, do we really need the 5 differnt shows about the same thing in 5 different cites. I love all of them, Im just saying that the one good show that was different from the rest, gets taken off. Why??? I dont understand.

Received the DVD set for X-Mas and was reminded how wonderfully written this series was. I miss the show and am happy it is on DVD, but I know there is more to Shaun Cassidy’s story. If it’s not going to ever give us an ending to what happens, maybe a book is the way to go. Millions of viewers would like to know the route the show would have taken if it hadn’t been cancelled.

I watched invasion on the tv, and have also got the dvd boxset, why why why did they have to cancel a fab show, if it was because the ratings went down then i blame the advertising crew. Our local radio station was so impressed with the show they were telling all the viewers about it, getting more viewers. Please bring it back and show us season two. From a devoted fan.

does anyone know if it can be viewed online? i just watched the video "wish you were" by kate voegele and i’m hooked!

The invasion tv series was a a great show .I could never understand why they cancelled the show it is a sad thing.A miracle maybe the show will be picked up by another tv station and we can see the 2nd season.Eventhough it was a couple of years ago,It was a great show.

I am so greatly disappointed that this series was canceled or whatever happened. I was so excited to watch it and really got into the movie. Is there a chance that it will be aired again? If not, I was so lucky to order Season 1 from Walmart for only $21.63 plus tax. I watched it in its entirety...and was looking forward to another season. Oh well, I am very disappointed.
