Meine Eltern, die Aliens

I am 15 and have been watching this show since it began, nearly five years ago. Since then, almost every thirty-minute episode has been of consistently high quality - now in it's eighth series, the show has lost none of the hilarity it started out with. The show is very amusing; it caters for all levels. The acting here is absolutely superb from everyone involved. I can honestly say that, as far as I know, this is one of the only shows on TV with child actors who can act. Not only that, but they are all very good actors. The loss of Barbara Durkin in 2001 led to a lot of people thinking: "Well, that's it." She cut a highly amusing figure as Sophie, the mother. The casting of the very different Carla Mendonca was, however, masterful, and I commend whoever thought of it. There is not a single weak performer in the show, the writing has sustained unbelievably high quality - although some of the humour can get rather crude at times - and there is little to criticise. The only thing I would advice they dropped in the next series is the canned laughter, which removes the sophistication of the all-round masterful show.

Well where do i start, There's only one word to describe this TV-Series and that is Fantastic, I Love it, it is absolutely brilliant. The Characters are brilliant, the casting is super and the locations are superb. I would really really really really love to see this brought out on DVD/Vidoe. So please whoever is in charge of this show. Please bring it out on DVD cos its well good. no1 TV series I LOVE it. MY PARENTS ARE ALIENS is about 3 orphans(Mel, Josh And Lucy) who are fostered by 2 aliens (Brian And Sophie). Brian And Sophie turn themselves into normal human beings so that there true identities are revealed.

I think you will find this series funnier when you see the repeats, next year. CITV have made the mistake of showing classic episodes on Monday followed by the new series on Tuesday and Wednesday. Big mistake, the new series should stand alone. Yes I miss Mel but give Harry a chance. It is still worth watching for the brilliant performance of Tony Gardner as Brian. The episode where Brian and Sophie fell madly in love is a classic.

The actress who plays Tania Thomas in the current series is Sasha Tilley, not Emily Fleeshman who played the part in series 3 & 4. Please can someone amend your records in the cast listing.

I really liked this show. I watched it on DVD in America. I recommend it to everyone. I wished we could have ITV on our telly here, so I could watch it free.

While most shows on after school are either silly game shows, soppy teen dramas or unfunny cartoons- 'My Parents Are Aliens' is a real gem! Despite being 14, I still love this show and will, on occasion, laugh out loud at the jokes- something which I don't do very often while watching the kiddies telly. The family on their own make for an excellent show, but what really makes this worth watching are their friends namely Trent and Pete, two good looking lads who deserve more screen time!

All in all, this is a really good programme- spoiled only by the added laughter track during the later episodes. The show is usually seen on CITV at around 4:30-5:00, although I am unsure of the days.
