Alien Nation Cast Interview with Avi the TV Geek

[bluekrypton1]

Alien Nation and Babylon 5 rule! agree with knoxvilleguy, PumaSweat, and all the fans.

[PumaSweat]

Fox should go to Hell!!!

Think of the shows they've cancelled with huge fan followings...

Alien Nation, Werewolf, Parker Lewis Can't Lose, Firefly, Brisco County Jr,

Sarah Connor Chronicles, etc I can't even name them all.

[UTAOUB]

I didn't buy the set of TV-movies because I thought the SHOW was better. But now I know it has all those great extras, and I WILL buy that set! (Even BEFORE I buy it -- right now -- it's ALREADY freshened my teeth and whitened my breath.....er, I mean

FRESHENED my breath, and WHITENED my teeth, of course! :::: : ) <Tenctonese Smilie

[UTAOUB]

The reason that AN still has fans is because AN is / was THE best show of any genre EVER on TV! EVERYTHING about it was 20 stars out of 10! (If I ever win the lottery........ : ) Lewca!

[CCB5er34]

I loved this show too and we really got ripped off big time. I worked for it to come back, and it really affected my life. I too love Eric, and am known to him and Ken Johnson. Will always be an ANER!

[orlandobabe]

These two are so funny together, I am glad to see them getting along so well.

[torchwoody58]

Loved this show.

[GusF]

Wonderful series.

[alfabeacris]

The best TV series in the world

:-)

[buckiemohawk]

fox canceled it because of budget problems. They got rid of all dramas for the90-91 season

[Reason4Happenings]

Eric Pierpoint is SO yummy :)

[wadagoodgrl]

I was a fan of the 80's show. I really did'nt care for any of the comedic undertones of the show, however. I would love to see a modern remake but with a little more darkness and seriousness to it. The show however did deal with serious issues such as crime, immigration, teen sex and prejudice. I think I would like the show alot more if it had a more realistic feel.

[WhickyQueen]

Thanks for the video, very much. That would be here all the series online.

[knoxvilleguy2]

Fox, in its infinite wisdom, never really gave this show a chance, despite the large fanbase it had.

It had a wonderful undercurrent commentary about racial relations & how America views immigrants.

[maratmasry]

I definitely agree with you. They REALLY didn't give this show a chance and I don't get why. Why did they cut it?? Does anyone know?

[knoxvilleguy2]

maratmasry:

Fox is notorious for not giving some shows a fair chance. They claimed that " Alien Nation " wasn't pulling in ratings, which is 24 - karat BS. Its fanbase would beg to differ with that. I frakkin' loved the show because of the commentary on race relations, the relationshis were great. Very character - driven.

[UTAOUB]

@knoxvilleguy2 Character-driven -- right!  I once read that the difference between "soap opera" and great literature is that soap opera emphasises the situations, whilst great literature emphasizes character! AN IS great "tele-literature"! P.S. When "The Game" first aired, I walked around like a zombie for about 2 months!

(But I was a happy zombie, underneath, because the show -- however chilling -- had a happy ending and was SUCH great drama! "Playhouse 60", like all of AN!

[knoxvilleguy2]

@UTAOUB - I think that AN had both great situations & characters. I wish Sci - Fi / " SyFy " would carry the re - runs ! After all, they still show eps of the original " V ". AN wasn't a " gadget of the week ", " alien monster threat / plot - device of the week " like so much science - fiction - Even the best science - fiction - often is.

Maybe NetFlix or hulu in the US has the episodes, it would be worth a look.

[kccollins62]

I loved this show, and would love to see these two actors work again. It doesn't even have to be Alien Nation.

[warnerbabies]

I recently purchased the box set of Alien Nation movies. They were awesome - the gag reels and extras were a great bonus.

I'm rather new to Alien Nation. Got hooked on it after seeing Gary Graham play Soval in ST Enterprise. A 30 year Star Trek fan, I can't believe I never watched this show before. It's ground breaking sci-fi at it's best!

[kpowers]

Eric Pierpoint also was on Enterprise twice (Once as a human and once as a Alien)
