*I probably shouldn’t call the pranksters “kids” seeing how most likely you don’t exactly know what V’s about if you didn’t see the original show, which kicked Nielsen butt in the 80′s. **And for those who didn’t know the surprise reveal, I suppose the spoiler might not be that funny — I wouldn’t worry about it though, knowing that going in isn’t going to ruin the show for the rest of us. In fact it almost made Matt’s Top 5 Fall TV shows.

ABC has ordered 13 episodes of the 80s reboot V, with plans for a four-season series with a beginning, middle and end. Seasons are expected to be 13 to 22 episodes each. Elizabeth Mitchell (Lost) will star as an FBI agent whose son is involved with the aliens, with Joel Gretsch, Scott Wolf, Logan Huffman, Morris Chestnut, Morena Baccarin, and Lourdes Benedicto rounding out the cast.
