Reunion television movie ?

Since "remakes" now are soooo popular, "V" is coming back to television. Has anyone thought about a reunion television movie with the original cast? The actors are still capable of that now. The original was 1988-89 and season 2 was 1990 and so bad too. Mancuso killed off that show and a lot of other scifi along the way as well.

Fans will suspend cannon if they want to see an actor again. (think Dynasty, Magnum PI, The Search for Spock and others) It would be nice to see "Harrison Blackwood", "Col Ironhorse", "Norton", and "Suzanne McCollough" again. Would be nice to see "Debbie", "Aunt Sylvia", Mrs. Pennyworth, and the "Omega squad" together once again.

So far, the DVD is of season 1 and is bare bones only. It came out after the Tom Cruise remake movie of War of the Worlds. Haven't heard anything about a season 2, nor am I really interested in a season 2 dvd.

I'd like to see it, but doubt the show is high-enough profile for a reunion to be financed.

Sadly true.

I too would love to see a reunion. Perhaps a "next generation" who can be fighting against the aliens. I think if anything happened at all it would probably be a "rebooting" of the series and i am not that fond of "reboots". I hated what they did to Battlestar Galactica.

John kincaid was the only thing from season 2 that made the show watchable. Adrian paul is also the only one that did anything noticeable after War of the Worlds went off air. Except Norton being in Highlander series for a few episodes.
