Alien Dawn

Great Action! Great Fun! If everyone had a Mom as beautiful as Hillary Greer the world would be a better place!!!! I thought that moving from the comic world to the real world and back was a great deal of fun. The young cast seemed to be well directed and seemed to be having a great time filming this piece. It was a great story line seeing the main character going from frustration and disappointment with is pre-occupied father to a realization that maybe just Maybe he was the hero that all the"nerds" had the faith that he was. Slowly but surely the mystery builds and holds your interest until our young hero realizes that his Dad was perhaps the special person others thought he was. I can't wait until next week!!!!!!

I viewed the new NickToon series Alien dawn last night. It was the pilot episode but set the stage for the series. I am quite excited to have a show with some suspenseful intrigue combined with real life school situations. I look forward to the show now each Friday night. Boris really made the show for me with his true to life emotions and expressions. It was comical how he kept up the resistance to the bully while being placed head first into a garbage can! True passion! The story line narrated through the comic strip is a great concept. Not sure what to expect in each scene. The story was developing throughout the show. Can't wait for the next episode.

Finally a kids show I can get excited about. This is the first live action series in decades that got my attention. I just hope the rest of the season is as good as the pilot. If it is, this show is going to be a classic. I loved the characters and the fact that it was shot in New York. I love that it's not dumbed down to children. Kids are a lot smarter than the industry gives them credit for! I would have killed to have a cool show like this when I was a kid. I watched it at a friends house and he has an eleven year old son. He recorded it and watched it again the next day. He got super excited about the little clues that seem to be in it. I know he's going to watch it next week to see if the clues pan out. If they do, this show is going to be like the next Star Trek. On a side note, I can't understand why anyone would give this show one star. That's just crazy. They must of thought they were voting on the movie from a which is completely different thing.

I watched Alien Dawn for the first time last week, and I thought it had a great storyline (clever). Kids will enjoy this and no sex/ drugs/ violence! Aaron Sauter's performance (Aaron plays 16 y.o. "Cameron Turner," the main character) was first rate and in my opinion he carried the show.....his character is believable and held my attention (Kudos to the casting director!). I also enjoyed actress Hilary Greer's performance as the character "Ruby Turner," the mother of Cameron Turner; her veritable Tina-Fey-plays-June-Cleaver presentation was both unexpected and fun, and truly in keeping with a comic book persona. Will I watch this again? Absolutely, I am hooked on the storyline.

I think Alien Dawn is really good so far. Nice to see a show that actually gets my boys (9 and 11) away from video games. There aren't very many shows on TV that they are interested in that don't involve bad language and violence. The way the characters speak seemed realistic but I noticed the show is very family friendly. At least it's something I can watch with them! Liked the friendship between the 2 boys and the theme of Dad being gone. Definitely something a lot of kids can relate to. I also like the scenes of New York City and that you can see where the characters live and go to school. The jokes are pretty funny too. I'll definitely be watching with them this week.
