Short-lived entertainment!, 23 December 2001

I remember when my friend and I first heard about this show. We waited for months for it to come on the air and it when it finally did, it was instantly our favorite show. It was about a single father named Doug Brody who was abducted by aliens and then fell in love and married an alien named Cookie. He brought Cookie back down to Earth with him and together they raised Doug's son Adam and his daughter Heather. However, Cookie already had three kids of her own [yes, they were also aliens] and so together there were five kids for Doug and Cookie to take care of [three of which were aliens]. The show only lasted eight episodes and it's a shame too since the show really had a good chance of becoming one of those weird cult favorites. I mean the show was great. It had an incredibly clever and interesting storyline, great dialogue and humor, pretty good acting [for this type of show anyways], and it also a heck of a lot better than the other shows that were being shown on ABC at the time. Hopefully, sometime soon ABC will realize what a big mistake it was to take this off the air and they will put this back on or at least put it in reruns on some other network. It was really a unique show with a bizarre, yet daring sense of humor and decent special effects. If ABC gave this show more time, I think that it would have really lifted off. I mean Fox did it with FAMILY GUY and look how that turned out.
