They're making a new version of the 80's TV show "V" - GoFuckYourself.com

The Lizard Men are back!

"V" Day Coming Again?

Alert the Resistance: The Visitors are back.

NBC has ordered a script for a potential three-hour TV-movie follow-up to the hit 1980s sci-fi miniseries V.

It was 20 springs ago that V first landed in prime time--its four-hour saga of evil, lizard-headed aliens (i.e., the Visitors) versus scrappy, normal-looking humans (i.e., the Resistance) zapping the ratings competition.

That show scared me when I was little.

h0st · 06-10-2003, 03:30 PM

Sounds good to me

That was one of the best tv-series back then..

jact · 06-10-2003, 03:31 PM

V was the shit

stevecore · 06-10-2003, 03:32 PM

screw that, bring back the sleestacks and "Land of the Lost"!

Yo Adrian · 06-10-2003, 03:32 PM

V was great, I remember watching every single episode when I was young

Icy · 06-10-2003, 03:33 PM

Great news, lets see if it comes to Spain, we only enjoyed 2/3 of the serie, the last part was never bought by spanish TV.

SpaceAce · 06-10-2003, 03:35 PM

Man, I hope it doesn't suck. I actually have both "V" and "V: The Final Battle" in my video/DVD collection. They were <B>NOT</B> easy to find, either. Now I see them for sale once in a while.

Edit: Hmm, I just reread your post. They already had a follup to "V" - the "Final Battle" I mentioned above.

That sucks. They get you into it and then don't show the end.

Icy · 06-10-2003, 03:38 PM

Yeah for sure, at that time we had only a gobermet TV here, no competition so they did what they wanted. Luckilly things changed later.

jimmy3way · 06-10-2003, 04:09 PM

V kicks ass! My favorite show as a kid.

I used to rub 'em out to that head lizard all the time, that brunette one? She was sexy as hell.

Just try not to think about the part where the woman grabs a huge rat out of the cabinet and eats it whole.

Oops.

that is exactly the bit I still remember! I mean, geeze I am only 26 now so I was young when I watched it but sticks right in the brain.

Jamdin · 06-10-2003, 06:41 PM

I loved the mini-series & the regular series. That brings back memories. Jane Bradler as the alien leader Diana was to die for
