I got the DVDs a couple of weeks ago and loved the 4400. Can't wait for season 2!

Awesome news! I can't wait to see what the little baby will be able to do. I imagine its gonna have some nifty tricks up its sleeves.

Anyone else watch this?
Its a great show! Watched the first ep the other day, cant wait until tomorrow!

[D.C.]

Yeah, It aired in Australia late last year. I've got it on DVD. It's a great mini-series. Hopefully you're going in unspoiled.

[Blue Banrigh]

When do they plan to air the second season here in Aus?

[D.C.]

Who knows but there's been ads for it...

i am, dont want it ruined. how long is series 1?

[fair_nymph]

I believe there is already a thread somewhere for this...

Great show, the first 'season' is 6 episodes, I think. Can't wait for more this summer.

[D.C.]

Yeah, there's five episodes - the pilot is a double episode.

USA NETWORK started it off as a 5 part 6 hour miniseries to just test the waters, then once the ratings smashed through the roof they ordered a standard 13 episode season(atleast standard for a pay-tv channel, free-to-air get anywhere from 22-27) so i dont really consider the beginning as a first season, it is more properly a miniseries like the 4 hour miniseries for Battlestar Galactica.

[Darth Buddha]

Yep, but unlike a mini, the hour installments were EXTREMELY episodic, focusing on primarily one of the returnees per show at times.

Looking forward to the new episodes!

[D.C.]

Yeah, but it also had an arc and character stories running through. Half mini-series, half series.

[Darth Buddha]

If they can keep the episodic part strong enough that you can miss an episode, and yet retain the arc that makes it something you DON'T want to miss, they'll continue to have a hit on their hands.

[Scoobing]

Sounds a bit like LOST but the other way around if you know what I mean. Instead of people lost, people return but we still have the mixture of episodic and character-based stories. As a big LOST fan, I might try and catch The 4400 over here.

[Metarock Sam]

Its was all shown on sky one a while back (and is currently being repeated). Its a great mini sereis leaving more questions than awnsers.
