ABC have released the above clip from their V remake, in advance of it’s US premiere on the 3rd of November.
It’s not a bad opening to the series and definitely introduces you to the major characters from the show. By the way, did anyone else notice Bailey Salinger from Party Of Five? Who would have known he was still alive and kicking?

It can’t stage an actual alien invasion, but The Hollywood Reporter reports that ABC is planning the closest thing to mark the launch of it’s new show ‘V’.
This Friday, skywriters will create giant V’s in the sky at 26 different American locations.
Although the network has not yet revealed the actual locations, popular suggestions have been The Statue Of Liberty and the Grand Canyon.
BBC comedy Gavin and Stacey is said to undergoing a makeover for American TV audiences.
The sitcom by James Corden and Ruth Jones will be remade by US TV network ABC, without any input from Corden or Jones….that seems a little strange.
ABC has reportedly ordered a pilot for this series, along with two other sitcoms – one from Cathy Yuspa and Josh Goldsmith and the other from the executive producer of Samantha Who, Don Todd.
Production on the remake of eighties classic ‘V’ has been temporarily halted.
ABC has enforced a fourteen day ‘creative hiatus’, The Wrap reports.
A Warner Bros spokesperson said the studio wants to “take advantage of our November premiere to maximise creative opportunities and deliver the audience the best show possible”.
The break is not expected to push back the November 3rd launch date and though the insider failed to explain the hiatus, he did confirm that no staffing or casting changes have been made.
Iconic Brat Pack flick ‘St Elmo’s Fire’ is to be remade for TV screens and has been picked up by ABC.
Joel Schumacher, who directed the original film, will act as executive producer of the hour long TV show, hoped to become the new Friends. The show will follow a group of friends who just graduated from Georgetown University and are adjusting to adulthood. There will be some minor changes to the format, the series will feature six friends instead of seven and the film’s setting, St. Elmo’s Bar & Restaurant, will be upgraded to St. Elmo’s Bar & Grill.
Dominic Monaghan has been confirmed for ABC’s new drama series FlashForward.
The revelation was made this week at Comic-Con, when the show’s producer David S. Groyer initially refused to confirm or deny rumours surrounding Monaghan’s casting.
However just minutes later fans were treated to a sneak preview of the series, in the clip the Lost actor featured as a character named Simon.
Is anyone else wishing they had tickets to Comic Con?
ABC’s new TV show Cougar Town, stars Courtney Cox as 40 something divorcee trying to find her way back onto the dating scene and opting for the younger guys.
In a press release announcing its autumn lineup, ABC says the comedy will show the former “Friends” star’s character exploring “the honest truths about dating and aging in our beauty and youth obsessed culture.”
We’re taking a look at some of this years new comedies and TV shows and this one with Patricia Heaton is a little strange. It’s one of four half hour comedy shows that will air on US TV network ABC this autumn but it reminds me of one that came way before.
The show is aptly titled ‘The Middle’ and is about being middle-class, middle-aged and living in the middle of the country. However it is way too like ‘Malcolm in the Middle’ to be considered original in the slightest. In fact unless I am seriously mistaken the annoying kid in the clip is Erik Per Sullivan, better known as Malcolm’s little brother ‘Dewey’. Of course he’s called Rick in this show, but who’s splitting hairs?
Kelsey Grammer has made some amazing TV shows in his time. Cheers and Frasier stand out obviously, though his last venture ‘Back To You’ failed to hit his previously reached, dizzy heights.
Not yet ready to retire, Kelsey has signed with US TV network ABC to headline their new half hour comedy ‘Hank.’ Hank” features Grammer as a former tycoon who, forced out of his job, is forced to downsize, move from New York and begin spending a lot of time with his family.
Check out the clip below and let us know what you think. It kind of seems like Frasier with a family to me….
Elizabeth Mitchell is reportedly returning to Lost during its final season.
Elizabeth, who plays Juliet Burke, was last seen in the season five trying to explode a hydrogen bomb with a rock..
Mitchell has signed up for ABC’s V as well as Lost according to TV Guide. You can watch some amazing preview clips from ‘V’ here.
“We’re thrilled to be able to have her do both [shows],” said ABC entertainment president Stephen McPherson. “It was a little bit of a juggling act… and we’re very thankful to the [accommodating Lost] producers, but I think we’ll see her on Lost during the show’s final season.”
