    It Just Gets Better and Better!

    My Parents Are Aliens. Is it the best children's TV program of children's television today? This show has been running for seven series' so far and has been commissioned for at least another one. Most shows don't even make it by three, which highlights the strength that this show has. The characters are complex, each with varying backgrounds and good/bad qualities which make them easy to empathise with and over the past few years, we've grown to love each and every one of them. So it was a massive shock when the last episode of Aliens as we know it was broadcast on Wednesday and many a comment on this 'ending' have been voiced over the last 48 hours. Everything, from what I can gather, will be all change apart from the formation for this show: Brian and Sophie who will be continued onto the next era of Aliens. Over the years, Tony Gardner and Carla Mendonca/Barbara Durkin have brought the characters of Brian and Sophie Johnson to life and for those two to have the difficult task of maintaining the high standards set by the current actors is a challenge, but I'm sure they'll pull it off magnificently. For anyone out there reading this who has never watched the program, I would urge you all to give it a shot. The canned laughter track introduced in Series 4 is the only downfall of this piece of comedy genius and for old and young people alike, it's certainly not a waste of half an hour once or twice a week. To argue the point against this though is the introduction of the new children. I have nothing against the actors or the characters of Harry and CJ but to introduce new children so late in the game was always going to have its risks. CJ was too much of a Josh copycat and Harry was almost identical to Mel, personality wise. And to attempt to replace a much loved element of the show such as the lovely Mel was a bad mistake. However, the high standards of the show didn't slip and Harry and CJ gradually became part of the whole routine. My Parents Are Aliens Series 8 should be broadcast around about this time next year and previous series' are being continually repeated on Nickelodeon and CiTV, so if I've convinced anyone with this review then please do watch it, you wont regret it. And now all there's left to say is good luck to those staying, good bye to those leaving and welcome to those arriving. We've been with you every step of the way and intend to keep following, because you're all stars!

    Simply splendid kids entertainment

    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.

    What i think about this TV-Series!!!

    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.

    MPAA Series 7

    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.
