    My husband and I enjoyed this show, and he is a tough sell. I am sorry to not see it in the 2006 fall line up. It has simply disappeared from radar with so many cliffhangers that I want answers too!

    I just found this sight to see when invasion will start and found out it was cancelled. This makes you not want to watch any new shows on the count of this crap. Please finish the story. What a let down.

    This was a great show and I hated to see it canceled. I was only luke warm on the Lost season finale but was really excited to see the season premier of Invasion. Then I found out it was canceled. This was a really lousey trick - if they were going to cancel it, they could have at least given it an ending instead of leaving it in a cliffhanger!

    Invasion is/was the best show on. I want more. Have another network pick it up if you won't allow the show to go on.Have the scifi channel pick it up like they did with many programs.like stargate sg-1 used to be on shotime now scifi.don't end the show.

    I'm really upset this show got cancelled, I thought it had a good story line; and would have a good run; although it did started slightly slow, but like a book you have to know every details first; before going to the good parts. And was really waiting for the second season, until my boyfriend said "oh it might got cancelled, since the DVD version is out already."

This was one of my favorite show, and the ending was dreadful. Then I saw the premire of Prison Break and saw William Fichtner that played a cop, played almost the same role as an agent for the show. I'm really really disappointed, and really hope that this was not true, untill I google it. Anyway there goes my many other favorite show, that somehow never survive.… Expand

    I really enjoyed the show "Invasion" I watched it every week from the beginning. It has been one of the best shows they have created since the X-Files. They need more of a variety on tv, not just reality and criminal shows. Invasion was a start in a new direction. Invasion had a good plots and twists and kept you wondering what was going to happen. Its too bad that it got cut. They needed I really enjoyed the show "Invasion" I watched it every week from the beginning. It has been one of the best shows they have created since the X-Files.

    I'm really frustrated that they can just interrupt a good show like this. I hope they put it back on soon or I'll quit watching your network. It is not the first time you do this to your viewers, please stop. It is a good show and you should give it a chance to develop.

    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?

    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.
