Some of you may remember an animated science fiction drama, INVASION 
AMERICA, which was aired by Warner Brothers during prime time last 
summer, usually but not always on Tuesdays.  The show was the brainchild 
of Steven Spielberg (E.T., Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List), and 
was produced by DreamWorks SKg.  Its production staff included such names 
as Harve Bennett (executive producer), Michael Reaves (writer), and 
actors Leonard Nimoy, Edward Albert, Robert Urich, Tony Jay, Lorenzo 
Lamas, Kath Soucie, and Kristy McNichol.  It was a six-part mini-series, 
with elements of Japanese animation.

In case you need a memory jogger, or never saw the show:  INVASION 
AMERICA is the story of a seemingly average 17-year-old, David Carter, 
who suddenly learns he's the half-human heir of a deposed, long-gone 
alien ruler from the planet Tyrus.  He must now lead the fight against an 
invasion by his father's traitorous uncle, the Dragit, while at the same 
time coming to grips with who and what he is.

One of the most interesting things about the story is that so many people 
like it, from kids to senior citizens, even many who don't normally care 
for sci-fi or animation.

At any rate, the series ended with the subtitle "End of Book One".  
Comments from its production staff make it clear a lot more was planned, 
possibly as many as five "Books," or seasons.  Yet WB didn't renew it, 
and DreamWorks has apparently let it die.  Needless to say, quite a few 
folks are extremely unhappy about that!

We'd really like help getting INVASION AMERICA back, primarily through a 
letter writing campaign.  If you want to see the show renewed, please 
write polite but decisive letters to the following addresses.  Postcards 
will do, as long as they mention the show and say it should be on prime 
time.  And, please, SPREAD THE WORD!  The more people who get involved, 
the better!
