WOuldn't you think SciFi would pick up both of them and run them instead of their shclock Saturday night made-for-cable movies? They could even add Bruce Campbell to the cast, if that would make them feel better about it.

Since everyone appears to be dead on Supernatural,will it be back? And I agree with Jonathan.Invasion is good.It is more of a slow burner,than a face slapper.

Every time I hear something like this, I think Veronica Mars is a goner.

Not again with Surface. Its a good thing its cancelled. It was probably the worst show ever and this includes this season of 24. And yet I couldnt stop watching. I just had to see if the next part would be even worse. It was hard but they managed to do it superbly. Hiring that throat cancer guy that does movie trailers to do a show recap was brilliant.

Anyway..What were the writters thinking. Creating a character that is both retarted and psychopatic. Talk about creating a Hitler / Forrest Gump combination. Those lizard/Jar Jar mutants killed a few people and all he thinks about is if his pet lizard was ok?

I'm watching last week's Invasion now. I still feel rather indifferent when it comes to this show. The first half of the season was so slow that I don't blame alot of people for giving up on the show. The second half has been better but it is a bit frustrating at times. This show might not appeal to everyone so maybe The CW is a good spot for it. It might also bring some new viewers to the network because they followed this show there. I'd like to think that will bring more viewers to Veronica Mars too.

I think Surface is OK; not superb, but OK. Invasion is one of the better offerings on network television. I have a difficult time believing people will watch such schlock as Grey's Anatomy or Desperate Housewives. At least Invasion makes you think. Today's network offerings are probably why so many are watching the live shows, like American Idol or Dancing with the Stars (a network offering, I know). Perhaps CW (the old WB) will continue to offer shows that most people, including teeners will watch and let the network continue to struggle with schlock.

7th Heaven has been picked up by the CW.

I agree with everyone Surface is a great show and Troy Grey's Anatomy is a great show.

But Invasion is god awful. The show is a streched out version Invasion of Body Snatchers. They did the whole mutated-half-formed-alien thing, the army thing and we know how it ended, the aliens win.

Invasion is predictable and the only reason people like it is because the budget is big. Once it moves to CW they will kill the budget and the show will fail.

I like Invasion because it has that X-Files feel, yet it has (mostly) stayed on track. Whereas, after 10 or whatever seasons of X-Files we knew little more than we learned from the Pilot.

Surface, started out crap, and just about when I was ready to tune it out it started getting decent. Still, I much prefer Invasion.

I'm very sad that you are taking Surface and Invasion off the air I never missed a show. I wish you would rethink your decision, The way that surfaced ended I couldn't wait to see what happened next. I'm so tired of the same old thing and these two shows really left you thinking of new things. I can't beleave that the rating were that bad. The way that the network worked this year most likly hurt the shows. I think that the way that the show would not air every week hurt them the most.

I think that the SciFi Network should pick up all three shows... Surface, Invasion, and Supernatural. I believe there is an audience out there for them.
We've been bombarded with "REALITY TV" in my opinion. I personally wouldn't cry one tear if I never saw another "REALITY SHOW" in my whole life. I'm also getting weary of Dramas such as police dramas and medical dramas. Life is too short for that crap. I would rather watch something that is so different it holds my interest every week. Examples: Farscape, Serenity, Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica, The 4400, and The Dead Zone. I didn't plan to become a SCI-FI person. It happened after hours of mindless dribble on the major networks. As far as I'm concerned I can avoid the major networks and just watch the Sci-Fi channel and of-course USA because two of the shows mentioned are on that channel.

Both Invasion And Surface are great shows. I never had trouble being "bored" or confused w/ either ones. I'm very upset that they are both being cancelled.

Invasion is a truly great show. Surface was just an entertaining show, in a "are they serious?" kind of way.

Nim was the only really compelling character on Surface - Invasion has truly superb character development.

E-mail the President of the new CW Network (dawn_ostroff@upn.com) to try to get them to pick up Invasion.

I miss Surface, but I can't see anyone (except maybe Sci-Fi Network) picking up such a cheesy show.

I hope they bring invasion to the CW. It was just starting to get really good. It seems most networks only choose from a small pool of shows. They are either about doctors, lawyers, police or reality. It was so refreshing to watch something else that was different. It kept you guessing and it was a huge disappointment to have it canceled just when the characters were really taking shape. I don't know what they will put on in it's place, but I won't be tuning in.

I am very upset by the cancelation of Invasion. I agree with another writer above. I don't know what ABC will put in its place but I won't be watching. I do hope the CW picks up the show.

I hope a station does pick up Invasion. It would be dissapointing and a waste of storyline and actors if it "goes down the tube." It's nice to see a show without scenes of sex, blood & guts and crude language. Good luck Invasion!

We can not understand why you are canceling
INVASION ! The story line is incredibly relevant for today's times (or is that it?)
and causes one to think about all sides and all possibilities! I will tell you this... my wife Darlene is "non-plussed" by all TV in general, but she would not miss an episode of Invasion ... what does that tell you about reaching the edges of a TV udience ?! Re-Think what you are doing here !
