DarcyR.Oct 7, 2006I can't for the life of me understand why such an OUTSTANDING show was cancelled. I feel as though I read a book with the last chapter torn out and will never know the ending. PLEASE bring this show back on the air somehow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's very unfair to take it away when it had so many fans who were addicted to it and miss it so much!!

ChrisCOct 20, 2005I love the cast, but the storyline is too slow for my taste. There is more action in Threshold and I prefer the twist in the Threshold storyline to the "we don't know what's out there or who is possesed" premise of Invasion.

JanineMOct 3, 2006I can't believe Invasion is not coming back!!! It was such an awesome show! I'm so pissed at ABC. Shame on you. You would rather show garbage than an excellent show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LisaGOct 9, 2006I've been looking forward to the season premier all summer and just found out there isn't going to be one. I am so disappointed! I watched it faithfully every week and thought it a great show with a great cast. Another show worth watching bites the dust!

NickCJun 20, 2006Increditble story, believable cast, endless suspense...CANCELLED- that's how much ABC cares about it's viewers. I hope the game shows work out better for them- I know I had enough of that inconsiderate network.

DrewFOct 6, 2005I've watched the first 2 episodes. It's decent entertainment. I like how they haven't revealed really ANY of their secrets thus far. Are these people alien replacements? Are the human? We don't think so, but we're not sure. Hopefully the payoff is worthwhile.

AnnaHOct 9, 2005Enjoying this show more so than Lost.

marshallmOct 9, 2005dont ask me why i like this show, kuz i've seen it all before in movies, and this seasons other television serie's. like threshold and surface. but this show does the best job of not showing us what the alien looks like, just by, as the critics said " the dread and anticipation" of the series that makes us, and me, keep watching.
-
-
HeatherDOct 1, 2006The only season primier I was looking forward to this fall. I used to watch part of Lost just because it was on before Invasion, but now I won't be watching anything on ABC.
-
-
RebeccaSOct 2, 2006WE LOVED THIS SHOW!!!! What in the world are the execs at ABC thinking about cancelling this show??? I think they are idiots.
-
-
JakeFeb 24, 2006hollow characters and stupid writing, but it has a decent premise, which just isn't enough for me. ABC did well pairing it with LOST though.......and by the way, people who complain about not having a new episode each week need to settle down and be reasonable. You act like you've never watched a tv show before. It happens to all shows, that's just the way it is!

sheilasMar 30, 2006i love it

PennieKApr 6, 2006Bring back Invasion!!! What is taking so long? Thought the Evidence show be good, but it's not. They need to give clues that mean something to solving the case not junk clues. Invasion is a far better show, nice try now bring back the good stuff. Cast is great, sci-fi is great, you have a winner, just keep it going!

KariYAug 25, 2006Loved the show...I'm tired of having the shows I watch canceled with no explanation this is the second one and it sucks... they are good shows ...what's up with you people????

criticalgitNov 20, 20051 minute per hour of special effects, weak characters, slow plot, no amusing bits to counterpoint, and a strange feeling of deja-vu... It can only get better, sadly i won't be there to watch the progress.

DawnANov 4, 2005This show is absolutely ridiculous. I can't believe ABC put it on and even worse keeping it on.
-

SirKaplanOct 23, 2005Why do i care about a disfunctional family fighting aliens. I was bored to death and had to turn off the pilot halfway into it.

KIMBERLYBNov 20, 2006How could you cancel this series. It kept me hanging each episode. at least have another few episodes to answer all the questions and give it a good ending. please
-
-
FrankLOct 4, 2006ABC what do you think you are doing taking Invasion away? ITs a great show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
-
NWJan 4, 2006Sooo melodramatic - Will they ever stop playing that dramatic music? The characters have no depth and show no chemistry. The writing reminds me of any day time soap.
-
-
KimHOct 7, 2006Invasion was the BEST FUCKING SHOW! I AM SO PISSED! I was waiting for the show to come on, and just found out that its NOT COMING ON! Thanks alot ABC, im never watching anything on ur stupid network anymore, and im telling everyone else not to ethier. You suck.
-

MikaJMay 19, 2006My favorite show. Best show I've seen from ABC in years!

DeniseBMay 22, 2006Please bring back Invasion, it was getting really good.

S.BarthMay 5, 2006Hope this program returns next season. Great characters and plot.
-
-
PeterDMay 7, 2006I understand the guy who said '5 minutes of anything a show' - at one point my family were giving up on anything ever happening in this show. It ended up building incredibly effectively, though, and by the end of the season was one of the best shows on TV. Unlike Lost - which I like - you actually get to learn some of what's going on. Looking forward to a second season.

BejL.Jun 21, 2006Great show. Suspenseful, cinematic, tremendously well-acted. It's a shame ABC cancelled it.
-
-
JenDJul 22, 2006This was a great series, and dont understand why it was cancelled! Someone should definitely produce another series - there are millions of us out here who would watch it, especially as the first series was so damn good! Please bring back another series, please!
-
-
XeniaJul 22, 2006Since Star Trek, to me this is finally another SciFi series of timeless excellent quality. A shame it got cancelled :-( Maybe ABC finds the guts to shoot another season? There's always hope :-)

NissaNAug 13, 2006I cannot believe this series has been cancelled!!!! My daughter and I were on the edge of our seats waiting for Invasion to start up again this Fall. What were the ABC CEO's thinking?!!! Ugly Betty is going to be a flop as well as The Nine! Both are lame ideas at best. Give us Invasion back!!! I am so disappointed in ABC.

CaroleTSep 12, 2006I caught up with Invasion on DVD just recently. I thought it was great. They can't leave us hanging like that. Pllease bring it back
-
-
DonnaBSep 21, 2006Please come back with a finale. I need to see the ending!!
-
-
PatGSep 3, 2006I cant believe this show has been cancelled. Why would you take off a popular show with such great ratings, to take a chance with new shows that might not make it???? You could have had some sort of ending. I am sick of getting involved in shows that are taken off the air whenever the station feels like it.
-

LJSep 4, 2006I can not believe it's over !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-
AlessioASep 6, 2006Too bad that ABC has cancelled the series...So,at the end we have a mediocre show with dull characters (except for the sheriff),many plot holes and a not very well developed main story;oh,and the ending,even if it was meant to arrange the ground for a second season,is imho totally lame.

DaveKNov 28, 2005I wouldn't call it the next X-files, but it is nice to see another good sci-fi show on TV that gives us some mystery element and some twists and turns along the way.
-
-
SusanNov 6, 2005It started off okay, but now it's gotten waaay too slow. And there doesn't seem to be more than one mystery: Are there aliens, yes or no. That's the only mystery this show has. Not much else. The acting is okay, being the cute little girl is the best of them all, but that's about it. It's just okay.
-
-
JaredProphetOct 21, 2005Very Creepy. I'm not sure if I am supposed to like or fear the Alien People as they seem so charming. Very Cool. TV IS BACK!!!
-
-
SusanSDec 15, 2005Where did Invasion go??? Replaced with Alias?? They can't do that to us! I want invasion back.
-
-
CarolynDec 16, 2005Love the show but miss seeing it. ABC needs to put it on and keep it on for viewers to stay tuned!
-
-
McFlyOct 20, 2005Pretty good show in all. Nothing compaired to Lost though. Some interesting characters to be had but the play is being slow played way to much. Its getting a little tiresome.
-
-
melaniesDec 21, 2005The acting in this show is great with believable characters in an seemingly way out there story line. I loved it. I've been surfing the web to find out when it's coming back but couldn't find the answer :(
-
-
RhiannonDec 3, 2005I love this show and never miss an episode. We needed a good sci fi show since the x files was taken off the air. I think we have that in invasion.
-
-
alanOct 8, 2005considering whats out there today on tv that's called sci-fi including the recent episodes of SG-1, this is like Ozzie and Harriet meet the Twilight Zone. A good show, I hope it remains so, Shaun Cassidy had another several years ago, but it went to a dead end after an interesting start and premise.

SabrinaROct 11, 2006I cannot believe they just dropped it - after waiting through the whole Summer season to find out what happens...and they couldn't do a story to end it for us - not leave us hanging!!!
-
-
CarrieMOct 12, 2006Best show of the season. And as usual they sike us up for a new season with their season finale and then srew us over. Why do we waste our precious time watching shows that get cancelled. No wonder people get cable and Netflix!!
-
-
FredFOct 13, 2006The music seems to be more important than the cast speaking to each other, the music over shadows the speaking parts. This seems like the bigest soup opera in the Sfi arena. On DVD there is no english caption for those hard of hearing.

PatrickCOct 16, 2006They HAVE to bring Invasion back! It was a great show with a plot like nothing else I have ever seen. It doesn't make sense that they would cancel it and not at least show us the ENDING! BRING BACK INVASION!!!!

sherrywOct 18, 2006Why cancel a show with most of the country waiting for the 2nd season?
-

LizW.Oct 19, 2006i am still in shock that they took this show off the air and kept so many other crappy ones! i liked it so much better than lost! what can we do to bring back this show?
-
-
BarryBOct 20, 2006Dont you just love it when ABC sticks you and breaks it off.. like ending Invasion.. I am thinking that was the ONLY reason for me to watch ABC.. now that invasion is gone it looks like I will be watching another channel seeing they have also screwed up LOST as well.. they must have their heads screwed on backwards

mariahApr 4, 2006This show is excellent. Very captivating and intriguing. I actually think it's better than "Lost" and I am huge Lost fan. I hope ABC keeps this series. It's the most exciting one on TV by far at the moment. Everyone I know who watches it is addicted!
-

JonLApr 9, 2006As bad as TV gets, dull does not come close, about 5 mins of anything per hour. Cure for Insomnia.

LeonardoAMay 13, 2006Invasion has me glued to my couch! The actors are great and the storyline keeps getting better and better. Kari Matchett plays detached and perplexed Mariel down pat. She's so good, I find myself rooting for her and not Larkin. The only downfall are the hokey outdoor sets- but regardless, I am hooked.

gabrielrAug 22, 2006Loved the show and have been waiting very patiently to find out whats goning to happen and then i hear this. weds was the best night on tv and I actually think that I was more into Invasion then i was Lost by the last couple months of the season. I mean come on at least finish the show, this is just dumb, I need to know it needs to be completed
-
-
DonnaAug 23, 2006Very disappointed that the show was cancelled. I loved watching lost & then invasion. My night was complete after working all day.

cakAug 25, 2006The perfect wed. line up for ABC. I thought that the Invasion season finale had even more supsense, action, etc than the Lost season finale and shocked when I read it was cancelled.

BDAug 29, 2006Loved the show, can't believe it has been cancelled.

Awards & Rankings
-
Borderline over-the-top moments threaten the sense of verisimilitude usually expected in prime-time drama.
-
Like ''Lost"... the mystery is provocatively open-ended and, assuming the writing continues to be good, absorbing.
-
It may be hard to believe that "Invasion's" premiere could be touching in the context of Katrina, and effective as a sci-fi drama. But that is the power of high-quality storytelling.
