I actually didn't think it was that cheesy at all. The acting was very very good and the story line was something we should all be paying attention to.

I'm not being disparaging! I was the biggest "V" fan out there! (Well, me and my sweet Granny--we watched it together faithfully!)

Frankly alot of the 80's shows had a cheese quality. The effects were dated compared to todays computer stuff, but other than that the acting and story line were superb through and through.

That's really what I meant by "cheesy". My teenager snorted w/laughter when he first started watching b/c of the special effects. BUT... he was soon enthralled! All of my kids love that series. I can't tell you how many times we've watched V--both the miniseries and the tv series. Good stuff. It's very thought provoking. We have had many good discussions that stemmed from watching V.

Back then they were pretty much the special effects of the day given the venue. Remember the old Japanese monster flicks from the 50's, 60's? We were laughing at them in the seventies. Of course, I'm not sure they ever evolved.

Getting back to the original V, I loved that series.
