This is a Spielberg thing isn't it Rob? Or is it just a very loose association with him?I didn't think this had anything to do with him? Falling Skies was his latest scifi TV waste of space.

Spielberg is listed as one of many Executive Producers, Wikipedia also says

Anyone still watching this? I'm finding it a tough watch but still hanging on for now. It's slowly descended into "story of the week" episodes and the overarching stories hinted at in the initial episodes largely ignored barring a few titbits thrown in now and again.
The special effects for the dinosaurs are nothing short of awful. When Jurassic Park was 20 years ago I would expect by now to have that level as standard but they are well below this.
Also, with the exception of a few, most of the characters are largely unlikeable - ie the wife and son.

I like the wife! But yes there is a lot to go meh about character wise. 
Still watching it, it's enjoyable fluff.

The fishing scene in episode 8...
This show is the best unintentional comedy in years.

I never got to the end of episode 3. The one where they lose their memory.
Too daft for me, gave up. Its still on series link on my Sky+ box, but I can't see me going back to it.

I still like it... kills a good part of an hour when winding down after a biatch of a night shift.
Then again, mebbes I'm just low-brow

You know, it weird. Even though this show is completely uninspired and predictable, and CGI is terrible, and the writing is all over the place, and the plot holes are enormous... I've somehow grown to sort-of like it. .
Maybe I'm just in a good mood when I watch it.
The decision to renew for a second season has been deferred to the new year by Fox. The ratings have been disappointing for the show's budget.

It's been cancelled by Fox, but could live on on another channel.
No details yet, though.
