So, with "Invasion," "Surface," and "Threshold" all off and running, you'd think science fiction is back in a big way on television.
You'd think so, but apparently, you'd be wrong.
The folks associated with these new series seem to be going to great lengths to avoid the scifi tag.
Shaun Cassidy, creator and executive producer of ABC's "Invasion," would rather call his show a "suspense thriller" series, according to a recent news item on SciFi Wire.
"If at the end of the season it doesn't come off as science fiction at all, that would be fantastic," he said.
Meanwhile, Jay R. Ferguson, co-star in NBC's "Surface," told SciFi Wire that he doesn't think of it as science fiction either.
"To me, scifi is Star Trek or Star Wars," Ferguson said.
