Throughout the week, if you were to turn on your television you are more than likely to come across a show that has a plot line involving aliens or unknown creatures. What sets a show apart from others similar in genre? Honestly, I believe that it depends upon the night and time that the show airs and what the other networks have for competition.

ABC's new show Invasion is already a hit and why shouldn't it be. Invasion is paired up with one of the most popular dramas on television this season, Lost. With other major network stations only airing crime dramas, CSI and Law and Order. Invasion is sure to see loyal and possibly new viewers every week.

On Invasion, Eddie Cibrian has been cast as one of the main character on the show. You may have already seen Cibrian's amazing acting skills on Third Watch or Tilt. He portrays Russell Varon, a Florida Park Ranger. He is remarried to a television reporter and has two children from his first marriage.

Lisa Sheridan plays Larkin, who is married to him and is expecting their child. Since they both work a lot, her brother Dave has been helping to care for the children. Dave's character is played by Tyler Labine, who I must note is absolutely perfect for this role. Dave is convinced that extra terrestrial beings are arriving and his suspicions are only confirmed when his niece, Rose, informs him that she saw lights over the water during a hurricane. Dave in convinced that the hurricane was just a cover up to hide the fact that others may be among them.

Takeaways
  • Invasion is already posed for success because it airs after Lost.
  • Invasion is different from other alien shows.
  • Eddie Cibrian is an actor in the show with a large amount of acting experience.
Did You Know?
There are numerous shows with alien or unexplained beings this season.

Someone at AbC have some guts and bring back Invasion. STOP! with the brain dead dripble that you continue to air. The only other decent show you have is Extreme Makeover Home Edtion. Please let your veiwers have the show they want to watch.

How can someone make a great show, with a great season finale and just cancel? Bring back the actors, bring back the hybreds, bring back the suspense. INVASIONS BETTER THAN ANY OTHER STUPID SHOW ON TV. Maybe NBC should buy rights to invasion. NBC would make millions off the show.

Please ABC execs, reconsider. I was so looking forward to the continuation of this series this fall. Both creative and intriguing, with a great cast of characters, it really deserves another chance. I was beginning to like this show more than "Lost." It is difficult to find a series I can actually get hooked into this season.

Its to bad the ABC execs can'r read all these blogs. I mean the fan base is here, they just need to cultivate it for one more season. Oh well, as usual the boring, same old same old crime dramas take the lead again. Invasion is such a refreshing show with great acting and a unique storyline-too bad.

this is so dumb that they cancelled this show. as someone else mentioned, it's just more of the same boring stuff on tv (i.e. law shows, judge shows, etc.) and it was refreshing to watch something like this. not to mention that it was simply a phenomenal show with really good acting and storylines. Uuuggghhhh!!!!! why do they do stuff like this?! all the good stuff gets taken off while the boring stuff gets renewed season after season. it makes no sense. I knew something was wrong when I say Tom (Sheriff Underlay) on prison break!

Man alive can not remember the last time i have been on the edge of my seat over a tv show but this one I only get up during breaks. I agree ABC is dead wrong to cancel.

That sucks that it has been cancelled. I couldn't wait until Wednesday's. Now what!!! The ending was such a cliff hanger. I get so disappointed when the hour is over.

absolutely LOVE this show. Where is the petition? When a show can get you SO involved in just a few minutes and keeps you hanging on to your seat, it SHOULD NOT be cancelled

i am a british fan and i am absolutely devastated that invasion has been cancelled.
