This is a nice basic mystery sci-fi on Earth show. The mystery grows over the episodes. They come at the story from many different angles, oceanologer, obsessed diver, little boy and his "alien", government cover guy who is more than a little gray, etc. There are cliches - if you scream DUMB! at any cliche - watch another show. If you have problems with holes - Why is no one but the goverment noticing? etc - you might want to watch another show. If you are going to nit-pick details of science - you will probably want to watch another show. Or if you do watch it with any of these points of view, don't say that you where not warned - and keep those "flames low".

Is'nt that the kid in the in the movie in Aliens In the Attic

This series may not be the best when it was on the air. But it beats most of the garbage thats on the air now, dances with, sings with, at home with, dreams with, the list is endless.

every one of the characters on this show has an annoying personality.
