SERIES PREMIERE: NBC made some really horrendous remakes of sci-fi shows two years ago, striking out with both The Bionic Woman and Knight Rider. This ABC reworking of the 1984 miniseries and series, about aliens arriving on Earth and promising prosperity and friendship, is much, much better, and much more promising. It stars Elizabeth Mitchell, fresh from Lost, and features Morena Baccarin from Firefly as the alien leader. This series is here for a month, then vanishing for a bit, so make an effort to watch.
