Thanks for the reminder! SP set.
Sci Fi (what new name?) is running the other two miniseries around the same time.

Not so sure about that.
The material scheduled at zap2it for SyFy on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday (both minis and at least a good bunch of the weekly episodes, if not all) are NOT listed at SyFy's own schedule pages for those dates.
Will be interesting to see which set of listings changes between now and the end of October.

TiVo Central Online shows the original mini-series (4 hours) airing all at once Sunday afternoon:
https://www3.tivo.com/tivo-tco/onecl...ivo:cl.372864h
And then the Final Battle afterwards:
https://www3.tivo.com/tivo-tco/onecl...tivo:cl.376589
edit: hmm, yeah, something is wrong with the TCO data for the new series because it shows it as airing on SyFy as well. My TiVo found it on ABC, though, so I scheduled it from there.

I'm not familiar with what this series is about. The commercials look fairly interesting but obviously, they may not be a good indicator. Anything currently on that I can compare this to?

Hard to tell without actually seeing the show. They're apparently going in a different-enough direction than the original that they tried to get out of paying royalties by calling this a completely original series. (But not different-enough that they won the arbitration!)

Comcast Nashville
Comcast here in Nashville, TN has V Pilot showing at 1:36am on Nov 4th. It's been that way since I set it a couple of days ago and hasn't changed yet. No other listings for the new show in the guide. Anyone else having this problem?

When this happens in my area it's usually due to a local preemption. Check the guide and see what the ABC affiliate is airing at 7pm on 11/3. I'll bet there is some type of local news or sports event taking place at that time.

The original show:
Human looking aliens come and say "We just want to be friends". They gain celebrity, kids love'm, there are action figures and toys, they get in good with high society and politicians...
And slowly gain influence and power.
They form kids' clubs and for teens "youth groups".
Eventually the "Visitors" are calling the shots, and some people are still too blind to see what's happening.
An underground forms, and eventually it's discovered the Visitors are actually reptillian, wearing VERY convincing disguises.
Things get very, very bad, to the point where the Visitors are no longer disguising their aims, tho' they still disguise their appearance.
What ARE their aims? Take all of the Earth's resources, including its water and whatever food sources they can get their hands on...which includes the human race.
And still some people are too blind to see what's really happening...
On and on.
(Did I mention the part about the Visitor who starts dating a human girl and makes her pregnant with two human/lizard hybrid twins, a girl almost completely human, and a boy, almost entirely reptillian?)

They are showing the Jeff Fisher show during that normal air time. Like anyone cares about the Titans.

Oops, I meant Defying Gravity. Or was that Invasion? No, I'm pretty sure it was V that has been canceled...

 Crap! Tuesday November 3rd is election day in my area which means the show will be preempted or at least butchered with election results  . I guess I'll have to end up paying to watch this on VOD .

In the original V, scientists were being hunted down and persecuted because they were using computers to determine that the aliens were lizards in disguise and not human. The original V was based on WW II in a German occupied country. I never watched the TV series just the two mini-series.

SyFy has advertised that the minis ARE going to run on Sunday, so their own schedule page isn't even up to date.
I'm guessing now that means zap and TV Guide are correct that the weekly series episodes of " V" will also run on Monday and Tuesday.
I'm going to try and record every single bit of it.
No, I have no shame.

I e-mailed WKRN about this and got the following response.
Quote:
On November 3, 10 & 17, ABC's "V" will air
from 7:00 - 8:00pm on the NashvilleWX Channel (WKRNDT2). You can view
the NashvilleWX Channel over the air at digital channel 2.2 or on
Comcast Cable Channel 245 and Charter Cable Channel 136. For other cable
system, please contact your provider. If you have satellite service,
you can receive this channel over the air at digital channel 2.2.
WKRN/News 2 will not delay this program to air at 1:35am Tuesday night
into Wednesday morning as tv guides are showing. The Titans on 2 With
Jeff Fisher show is not scheduled to air on November 24th, therefore "V"
will air on WKRN.

That's bizzare. I'm glad you asked them.

Uh-oh... I don't like the sound of that. I sure hope the "new" version doesn't screw it up.

The original mini was pretty good, for its day.
The sequel wasn't that bad, either.
The series, though...

I liked it. I was a lot younger back then, but I remember we were all watching it. Kind of a water cooler show. I agree about the series too. That was a major disappointment.

I have not seen the original minis since they first aired when I was a kid. I'm looking forward to viewing them again and seeing how they hold up to my memory or them, and then compare them to the new series.

Just dawned on me. Isn't WKRN's WX channel 480i and 4:3? What a shame we won't be able to watch this in HiDef & widescreen. I think more complaining to WKRN and ABC is in order from the Nashville viewers.
EDIT: Just confirmed with WKRN it will not be in HiDef so I won't bother watching. Too bad. I was getting kind of excited.

Hopefully they will be showing the HiDef pilot on WKRN at 1:36 AM on the 4th. I'm gonna leave my Tivo set for it, just in case. I just saw the commercial with the WKRNWX info superimposed across the bottom of the screen tonight. Comcast doesn't have that info in the guide. If you advance to Tues Nov 3rd 7:00pm it shows "Middle TN Weather", so if you are going to Tivo it then, you have to set a manual recording. Oh well, maybe Middle TN can watch it on Hulu the next day!

Umm...
What part of this did you not understand?
http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb...28#post7575228
WKRN/News 2 will not delay this program to air at 1:35am Tuesday night into Wednesday morning as tv guides are showing.
The station itself says they won't be running it in that overnight timeslot.

I contacted WKRN to confirm this and got the following response.
Quote:
|
No, the network will not allow us to air it twice. Sorry.
|
I asked if it would show up in guides on the NashvilleWX channel, and also asked if would air in HD.
Quote:
We have informed the guides, however, I would manually schedule a
recording to play it safe. Unfortunately this channel is currently not
in HD. Sorry.

I got the same email today. I mounted a grassroots campaign complaining via email to WKRN & ABC. I guess they are listening.
