    Years after it has been cancelled It's still hard for me to face it. The best and most exciting tv show I have ever watched. Fantastic actors and the show has a great plot.

    This series is one of the best TV Progams that I have ever seen. I rank this as one of the best, next to Lost, recommended to anyone.

    Clearly the networks don't care what their viewers think or want. I guess they think the viewing public is a bunch of brain dead idiots who will just keep tuning in, regardless of what they put on. Well count me out......first Invasion, now LOST....totally screwed up. Byebye ABC.

    I am absolutely heartbroken. I have waited the entire season for this show. I finally jumped online to see if it was starting later in the season and I have been broadsided by the news it is canceled. I suppose it is just another example of people who need to be seriously re-examining their careers. Who in their right mind would cancel a show in its first season with such great reviews?

Is ABC trying to live up the old saying I heard as a child? You know.....that ABC stands for Always Broadcasting Crap....if so ...they are well on their way to returning to that status in my book.… Expand

    Dont 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

    They 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!!!!

    Best 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!!

    I 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!!!

    I'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!

    I 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!!

    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.
