Got to love the incredible investigative skills of the news meda.
failed to report, is the fact that only Fifty-seven of ABC's 225 affiliates preempted the first episode because of protests led by Rev. Donald Wildmon and his American Family Association (AFA). The show's content prompted the organization to take out full page ads in major newspapers, asking viewers to boycott the show and calling it a "soft-core porn" series. The preemptions were mostly in smaller markets, comprising 10–15% of potential viewers which limited the impact of the protest.

weirton,WV Pretty close to Ohio Okay, so the train crashes outside of Ohio. Now we have kids in the mix in period town. Minker's mom's clothes looked 50-60's. The train crash happened 70's. I can see the kids finding the aliens who befriend them and then turn out to be real monsters. Or, it's a group of aliens some good and some bad. The good befriend the kids who rally to save the town from the bad aliens. I expect a lot of CGI and ET like moments. Violent enough to get a rating but nice enough to still be suitable for kids. Think about it, even the film trailer, as violent as it is, is still sans blood, guts or anything really graphic. Kids movie.

Bearing in mind what Will_Quick (welcome, BTW) noted about the Ohio state flag, Weirton residents are no doubt aware that the setting of the movie is not in WV and their hometown. Even if thy learn that it's a flick about how all evil of mankind could be traced to Weir(d)to(w)n, the locals realize that it means $$$ for their town.

The news reporter's description sounds like what was fed to them by the studios, in part to deflect the awareness of the shooting location for the film, and it sounds just like the sort of 'director's underlying message' that both Spielberg and Abrams would like. The fact a reporter was probably led by the nose with that is what's so pathetic.

Weirton,WV Main Street Lillian/Weirton was hopping today with set designers, et al. In addition to the car lot and arcade, it looks like there is some kind of clothing shop or five and ten type store front being created. Hearsay (being what it is) has it that Brad Pitt was in town last week.

Weirton, WV Here are a couple of pics. The one with the massive mill looming in the background is a before shot of part of Main St. where there has been some cosmetics going on. Sorry, don't have the after shot, but there now is an auto dealer sign painted on the bare gray wall in the picture. The other picture is a current shot of a building that once housed an eye clinic. The mannequins in the window are a new addition, and there appears to be a variety of other goods on shelves inside.
