I am from the old school of V, and own the complete DVD collection. Tuesdays episode was so bad that I will not be watching again. The story started out loosely following the story then, then turned it in to a hybrid of Sleeper Cell and Battlestar Galactic with elements of Numbers. For prime time I cant believe that cancelled shows like Moonlight, the Unit and 4400, for this over CGI’ed show if they had kept to the original script,with the latest Special Effects it could have been a fantastic show, instead of another over rated over price “B” rated SI-FI.

V premiering well doesnt give good news for Eastwick or Forgotten. Thr axe can swing at any time for either series.

The show seemed to go a bit too fast through the storyline. I wonder if the show’s premiere was to be two hours and condensed to one hour. You really don’t know that much about Anna or the visitors.

Not only finger pointing, but that article contained a blizzard of incorrect information. Such is the TV columnist business!

Shows like Jericho, Lost and Heroes didnt benefit from the cliffhangers and season breaks. Thats why Lost, 24, and Heroes now run straight through. Lets hope V does well when it returns.

on the heels of the premieres’ success the “ABC treatment of V” finger pointing has already begun by TV columnists. See:

ABC’s remake of V debuted Tuesday to 14.3-million viewers. So why is the network treating it like a loser? http://tinyurl.com/yjqc2ss

The 4 month break might not hurt the show as bad as everyone is predicting. If they end episode 4 with a big cliffhanger, and then do a similar promotional campaign like the one they did for the premiere I can see it doing ok.

Too bad V is taking a 4 month break after its 4th ep.

I’m so glad it exceeded my expectations, because I was predicting it would only get a 3.1 at best. I hope they can keep it up

A great opening for a very good show (so far at least), Considering these numbers and depending on the next three episodes performances ABC should seriously consider not going into hiatus (at least not so long) as a three month lay off could seriously damage an otherwise promising show.

Like I said a few weeks ago on this site, ABC should pair V and Lost on Tuesday night. Moving the Dancing results show to Weds with Modern Family and Cougar Town would actually give them a fighting chance for the night against AI. Move Bros & Sis to Weds at 10 and start up the marketing for a new show after DH on Sun where the comp will be weak after football is over.

You would expect those analogies coming from FOX but ABC and WB WTC.

@ R.G.

NCIS has been on Tuesdays forever and the spin off did not even suffer the tiniest bit from a slightly worse lead in this week. Unless CBS finalle gets fed up with the Wednesdays comedies and needs a night starter there, I do not see them moving those shows ever.

I was shocked by these results. I picked V to be a dud.

I watched the original V and i was excited for this remake. It was great and I wanted more, I cant wait for next weeks episode.

Dan, perhaps ABC should completely rejigger the way it programs Dancing With the Stars, at this point. But I wouldn’t expect to see it happen for the “spring” session. I can’t see them running the results show at 10pm or on any other day besides Tuesdays. I also don’t see them putting results show against NCIS.

I hope V does well, it looked like a perfect TV show.

Looks like CBS needs to move the NCIS shows to another day of the week…

Id say keep V on Tuesdays at 8 and air Lost at 9 tuesdays. Pairing the two would work out well.
