They should have had the cast on Letterman, Leno or any number of night or day time talk shows, has Scott been on the CW morning show since he started on AiA?

That would have been smart but we are talking about the CW

Ditto that. Anybody in this Forum could do a better job in marketing Aliens than anyone at the CW. Sheesh.

Please! Anyone with an I.Q. of 3 digits or more could do a better job marketing and promoting its shows than the brilliant folks at the CW!

It reminds me of Mel Brooks' The Producers (2 films, Bway show) ... 2 guys decide to produce the worst show ever to defraud investors ... I don't means Aliens is the worst show (quite the contrary) ... but it seems to me that the only shows I've liked on the CW (Gilmore girls, Everwood, now Aliens in America) - all of which have garnered significant critical acclaim - have been driven into the ground ... as if the CW was actively trying to wreck them. Maybe they want to lose money ... tax write-offs or something.

Otherwise ... can these execs really be this incompetent and still keep their jobs?! The only thing less fair than getting paid for these abysmal levels of aptitude and accomplishment is if they get paid every week and don't even have to show up! However, then they would do less damage!

AiA took a while to get on the air, maybe it's just one of those shows that is a great idea but not enough people like it. Kind wish a cable channel had it and could keep it alive.

Maybe you're right, Lancer. Maybe you're right. I sure would like a copy of the series on dvd though. Nice to add to the collection.

Found this on this thread

Quote:

- "Reaper." Critics loved the pilot of the CW's supernatural drama, then griped that the series lost its way. The show returns Thursday night against ABC's "Lost" and needs divine intervention to come back strong enough to make the network add it to its list of previously announced pickups. The chances for the CW comedy "Aliens" look even slimmer.

5 new Aliens stills!

SPA · 03-14-2008, 04:13 AM

Great pictures, Susi. I wonder which upcoming episode it's for?? Notice his dark hair and the ever-so-slight greying at the temples. Nice.

Pasadora · 03-14-2008, 04:15 AM

You're welcome. I think it's 1x14.

crazyboutscott · 03-14-2008, 04:31 AM

Susi, you are a ray of sunshine in my life. I wake up tired and cranky, then boom you share gorgeous pictures and suddenly I'm happy.

lancer1993 · 03-14-2008, 05:05 AM

SNOW!

Thanks for the pic.

No old coat, fingerless gloves or backward baseball cap, I guess Luke is not there any more

Thanks, Susi, for the pictures! It is nice seeing him in a real winter coat with full-covering gloves. I guess he's no longer in California where dressing for winter is a bit unbearable.

My first impression of the photos of Gary and Franny out to dinner with this other couple is that the other couple just asked if they wanted to swing together. I know this is a family show and that is rather unlikely, but that's what the shocked looks tell me.

Elissa, you aren't alone. That's exactly what I thought too. LOL

Elissa5 · 03-14-2008, 08:59 AM

Lulu, I'm glad it is not only my dirty mind that thought that.
