4400 writer Scott Peters is working on an upcoming television series remake of "V", to be broadcast on ABC sometime in fall 2009 and is based on the science-fiction franchise created by Kenneth Johnson.

As a V fan, im pretty excited about this. The question of course is: will it be of any quality of the original, as it is just a remake? Im gonna keep my eye on this.

Yea, I truly can say that I am old enough to remember seeing first run episodes of this series. It was one of my favorites sci-fi shows ever, along with Alien Nation a little after wards at the time. I did not care too much about 4400 though, but I do have high hopes for the new V reboot. Hey Mighty Atom, if you really want to watch a series that screws with your head and might even scare you, check out "Fringe". The first season just ended, I highly recommend it. All the episodes are still available for download at the "you-know-where" sites. Fringe is like the second coming of the X-Files, but much better and weirder.

So wait... after being on the island Juliet got a job in the FBI? Or was this before working for Ben?

Hey, wasn't there a few paperback V novels that came out soon after the original TV series ended? The V novels were somewhat of a continuation of the TV show, similar to the Star Trek novels that were published years later after the original 1960's TV series was canceled. Also, didn't Marvel published a limited V comic book series? I think I remember seeing those somewhere long ago...

The original series was epic. Partially because of superb design, sets, and story-writing, but most importantly i think because of a great cast.

It's going to be really tough to reproduce the the strength of the original cast imo, but i hope they do it. Since Sarah Connor Chronicles was cancelled, i have no goto scifi show to watch.. = (

I don't know about any V novels, i knew they existed but never really cared about comics based of V. I prefer the watchable format. :)

True that, Captain!
