    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!

    Increditble 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.

    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!!

    Bring 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!

    I loved this show!!! I can't believe it has been cancelled. I want to know the end of the story!!! The least thing ABC should do, is make a 2 hour conclusion movie. I had this show as number "1" to record on my DVR and will leave it as #1 just incase someone at ABC or even another station will continue the story. I am so disappointed.

    I 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.

    This 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!

    Since 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 :-)

I shouldn't be surprised though, ABC seems to be the worst network for cancelling shows with real promise because they don't sky-rocket to the top ten the first week it airs. I rarely watch the first season of shows anymore because they are almost always cacelled, I thought Invasion would be a shoe-in for season two. Someone should take advantage of ABC's greed and stupidity and run with this gem.… Expand

    I 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.

    This show was the best I have seen in a very long time. I cannot believe abc has cancelled this show. I love Lost but could not wait for it to end so Invasion would start. It had amazing suspense, drama, and action. I thought this show was giving abc an arm up. I almost dont want to watch lost anymore because of this.

    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.
