The Resume

    (September 9, 1998-February 7, 2001)
    Science fiction TV program, ran on the SciFi Channel for three seasons (1998 - 2001)
    The story of a man and his friends fighting an underground war against a secret attempted alien takeover of Earth
    Aided in their struggle by previously undiscovered prophecies of Nostradamus
    Starred Sebastian Spence as Cade Foster, Rob LaBelle as Eddie Nambulous, Roger Cross as Joshua and Traci Lords as Jordan Radcliffe

Why First Wave might be annoying:

    It was a ripoff of the sixties series 'The Invaders'.
    With the notable exception of Roger Cross the acting was embarrassingly bad, particularly Traci Lords'.
    It won no major awards.
    Despite its constant low ratings, the SciFi channel was contractually obligated to run it for three seasons.
    In a ripoff of 'The X-Files' it had a government agency trying to stop the people trying to stop the alien invasion.
    The cast has pretty much disappeared since its cancellation.

Why First Wave might not be annoying:

    It kept the special effects to a minimum.
    The writing at times was quite good.
    It did manage to win two Leo Awards.
    In an interesting bit of trivia, 37 different actors/actresses made exactly two guest appearances on the show playing the same characters and none of these appearances were due to being in two part episodes.
    It had some very good guest star appearances including Sarah Chalke, Graham Greene and A. J. Cook.
