V is now a 2009 TV series: ABC is resurrecting the “one-hour weekly television series that aired in the United States on NBC in 1984-85.” The plot summary from Wikipedia:

The world awakens to find spaceships hovering over all major cities. Though the aliens claim to come in peace, some do not believe them. Homeland Security agent Erica Evans discovers that the aliens have plans to infiltrate our governments and businesses in a plot to take over the planet. Erica joins the resistance movement, which includes Ryan, an alien who wants to save humanity. However, the aliens have recruited earth’s youth, including Erica’s son, to serve unknowingly as spies.

Personally, I want Battlestar Galactica, the 2004 TV series, back (but everything must end). I enjoyed Battlestar Galactica for its underlying message: Although science and technology is supposed to be a tool that promotes, produces, and results in good things (like religion ironically), it can be contaminated and twisted by people (and I don’t hold anti-science, anti-technology, or anti-religion sentiments). As a result, Battlestar Galactica was more “hard social fiction, [or] a realistic look at the future of human culture” than science fiction, and “the show [ended] with a strong suggestion that humans’ devotion to science and technology will only lead to their downfall – again and again and again.”
