The aliens are coming… The aliens are coming… The aliens are here.
That’s the wondrous sci-fi vibe and a truly compelling truth if you love a short lived TV show about exotic extraterrestrial visitors who have been fully integrated into our Earth culture. Alien Nation only ran just one season for 22 episodes, yet it remains a dearly beloved, dedicated cult-powered TV show. It’s based on a feature film starring James Caan and Mandy Patinkin, released in 1988.
Knowing about space borne aliens has basically been our sci-fi tale for decades. Science Fiction fans, much like their passionate hero Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) born of mega television hit, The X-Files, don’t wonder or speculate much on aliens. We watch alien adventures regularly on TV and movies. One creative associated with an alien exploring pastime is writer/producer/director, Kenneth Johnson.
Johnson’s creative credits are found on iconic shows such as The Six Million Dollar Man, The Bionic Woman (he also created Bionic Woman) the classic mini-series, V (remember the shocking guinea pig eating scene?), and many more. Johnson expanded the 1988 feature film to give us a well conceived universe fans still love.
C’mon my Alien Nation series lovers, let’s talk Detective Matthew Sikes (Gary Graham) and partner Detective George Francisco (Eric Pierpoint) and all the inspiring wonder this compelling show has to offer.
