v ambassador peace program reruns The acting is oh so bad!! The script on the corner of the screen says 12:30- 3:30 A.M. That's it, want to talk more but won't--no spoiler here. Giggles

Spoilers? Well, we could always abuse the spoiler tags, I'm not really a fan of that, but it isn't really my choice {power to the people!!!}
Frankly, I see absolutely no reason why we can't discuss a show that aired over 20 years ago - the differences between the original and the new show will be so major - plus, like I stated, over 20 years gives people MORE than ample time to see the original.
That said.... I am so very curious what this show is going to bring to the table. I am such a huge fan of the original {even if the TV series did just get a bit silly, but hey, it was the 80's}. The major thoughts in my mind are, since this is a totally new character set are they going to hit the same plot points {ex: the pregnancy}. Being in a time so far removed from the past here, obviously it won't be a Holocaust allegory this time round - what political issue will this attempt to tackle?
From everything I have read, and that isn't a lot because I didn't want to get spoilered, this is a loose reboot at best, and not a remake. So I am going to TRY to let it have its own merits - I just hope it pans out.

Dear god I loved this show. It was on after McGyver and I would hunker down in my parents room and watch it while they watched something else in the basement. I am more then a little peeved that I work nights so I won't be able to see the premiere or any of the other episodes on TV, only watch them after the fact online. Darn work schedule!

v ambassador peace program old series Well I have to admit after watching it Sunday, I remembered I saw parts way back when. My second child was born in 1983 and my wife got grossed out at the same point as back then. I said spoiler on this as some people may want to not know what the plot will be...others may have wanted to know all ,see all, like me. Not sure how this ambassador thing will play out as they are asking for participation from the viewers by taking e-mail adderesses. So I guess that would be the big question. (Is this where the viewers come into play?) Also I wouldn't be surprised if it gets hacked by the show's dissidents,as portrayed by Elizabeth Mitchell, etc.
Here's Anna if you haven't seen it already

New Video? I didn't see this posted this yet, so I figured I would:
http://www.hulu.com/watch/106429/v-are-you-up-for-the-challenge
It's another add like Anna's, but includes the enticing phrase "we'll contact you"
Hulu says the link will be dead in a few hours, sorry if you didn't catch it but maybe (hopefully?) this has to do with when the game will start!
On the side - this is my first post and I've never actually done this before, so tell me if I'm doing anything weird

it is just telling you to go join the ambassador program, which is on the main V page on abc.com.... but thank you for the hulu link. I know i myself didn't look on hulu for anything yet.
Oh, and WELCOME to the forums! nothing weird yet, but don't worry when you do - we like weird!

So am I missing something? When I try to go join the ambassador program it takes me back to the ABC website.
