New York City gets invaded tomorrow morning by ABC at 9:30AM
Cities being subjected to the campaign include New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, and Philadelphia. Both New York and Los Angeles are set to be “V’d” several times.
There’s been so much turmoil around the release of V, an ABC sci-fi series based on a 1980s NBC show and mini-series, that I started to dismiss it. ABC broke up the premiere so that the show would debut as a mini-series before going to full series in the spring. That news came after production came to a halt for a complete series overhaul. Something was going very wrong.
At least ABC’s marketing team seems confident enough in the show to pull out all the stops, promo-wise. THR reported yesterday on a skywriting promo that will feature a red “V” over US cities. Now ABC has released the list of cities, including New York, Boston, Minneapolis and Los Angeles. (Not shockingly, Cleveland is absent from the list. Oh well.)
Check out the complete list of cities after the jump.

Uh, why does Photoshop not suffice for the promotion of a show that is going to blow chunks anyway?

Is anyone else depressed by this?
Marketing is invading our lives in the midst of an economic crisis.
"Don't worry America, you're probably all fucked, but you can still watch our dumbass tv show!
Here, we'll terrify you into thinking consumerism is cool!"
It would be different if this was actually something people cared about, but honestly who actually does care about this show?

i never saw a V in the sky here yesterday....
-
I wonder if the original V miniseries had any influence on those reptilian humanoid conspiracy theories.
But anyway, can't say I'm looking forward to this remake.

I enjoy the original series. However, I am totally not stoked over a remake.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't help to throw this in there :P
Other than that, I can only question the success of this show... I hope it does well, anyways!

Concept behind the show seems ok. There aren't any good scifi or scifi based tv shows since the end of battle star galactica. dont think this show will be as good. as for the marketing, iwish them luck because people are tired of storylines like these. we will see.
