V on ABC


Did anyone see the pilot episode last week for "V" - the remake of the 80's miniseries of the same name? I caught it on Hulu over the weekend, and I was glad I did.


I LOVED the old "V" miniseries (above) when it was broadcast back in 1983, but I only recall two things from the original. First, the evil reptile leader Diana satifying her HONGRAYS with a delicious Guinea Pig...



And the shocking birth of the reptile "V Baby" ...


Who could forget that?!? V got HUGE ratings at the time, and 40 million Americans gasped in unison when they saw that green critter pop out. And to this day I STILL call ugly infants "V Babies".

The new V airs on ABC on Tuesdays at 8:00 pm. I'll definitely be watcing tonight.
