TV: “Invasion” Out – Can It Be Saved?
By stephanie - Tuesday, May 16th, 2006
Well, big surprise – ABC has officially canceled “Invasion.” Judging from the immediate outcry from the TV Guide announcement, ABC has made yet another stupid mistake here.
“Invasion,” as I’ve said before, had some problems, but got better and better as the season progressed. It’s main issue, however, wasn’t with the show itself, but ABC’s moronic scheduling. I had no idea from week to week when “Invasion” would be on! It seemed like the show would air once, then be off for another three weeks, then on another two weeks, then off for two, etc. etc.
If for some reason some ABC executive ever stumbles across my blog: GET A FREAKIN’ CLUE! You can’t expect your shows to build momentum and high ratings when you keep TAKING THEM OFF THE AIR mid-season.
In other bad news, talks of “Invasion” being picked up by the CW are waning. A “Save Invasion” petition has been placed online today, but I don’t know how much good it will do. As of this writing, it’s only got 180 signatures on it.
As a fan of “Farscape,” I remember how much work it took on the part of fans to resurrect “Farscape” for just one measly mini-series. Fans of “Invasion,” if you are serious about saving your show, you have a LOT of hard work to do now. So get to it!

Thanks for the link. I just posted it on the fleX-files and on the ABC messageboard.
