Invasion...Are you still watching it?

This is one of those shows for me that I keep coming back to every week but nothing seems to be happening. I'm just curious to see who else is watching this show and who gave it up. For some reason, I can't give it up.

I watch it, but I'm not very committed to it (or Theshhold or Surface). If any of them had enough competition in time slot to overload my watching/vcr'ing capabilities, that would be the end.

I gave up after 3 episodes.

I have the rest recorded but I can't bring myself to watch them

I gave it up after about 3 or 4 eps. I just didn't find the characters or the aliens to be interesting. I can handle slow-moving, if you at least hook me with interesting characters and premise, but this show was all mood, no meat.

Still holding on and watching, though I'm not sure why. I guess if there was something better to watch in this timeslot, I'd switch over.

I'm still watching every week. I don't think the show is the greatest thing on TV or anything, but I do think it has improved considerably since the first couple of episodes, which left me very unsure whether I wanted to keep watching. Basically, the show has upped the quality just enough that I'll keep watching but will never list it among my fave shows or cry if it were cancelled (sniff*sniff*ArrestedDevelopment*).

I agree with that completely, clckworang. Hopefully this week's episode gives us some clue as to what's going on like the previews seem to promise.

Still watching.

Interested to see how the characters react as things play out.

I used to ask myself why I'm still watching this show, but now I dig it. At times it seems slower than the latest Gus Van Sant movies...but like someone said before, I am interested in seeing how it plays out and how the characters react. I also find myself really interested in what the Sherriff knows. a bit too much if you ask me.

I watch it because it comes on after Lost and because there's nothing else on at that time.

Yes, but they need to pick up the pace. Although, I'm afraid if they do, they show will shift focus.

Was this the show that was being replayed on Sci-Fi? They don't seem to do that anymore.

Yea, if it wasn't on after lost, and I wasn't already sitting in front of the TV I probably wouldn't watch it. I really hope something happens soon but I have a feeling it's gonna be like this for a while.

I had all the eps sitting on my TiVo. Deleted them all last night due to lack of interest on these boards. I doubt it'll make it to a second season.

Nothing better on after Lost.

The show is interesting in a "watching paint drying" manner. I do think that the sherrif knows a lot more about the situation and I hope the previews are accurate for this weeks episode.

I gave up after 4.

It had one fatal flaw. I hated all the characters and would not have minded if any or all of them were killed by aliens. If everyone dies, I will consider watching again ;-P

Absolutely nothing this week, and that pregnant crusading reporter lady has to be the dumbest character in television. The Alien Children's Services should take her baby away from her.

I quit after 4 episodes and it sounds like I haven't missed anything since.
