Is there anyone else, recently affected by a hurricane who watched this show?

Am I the only one with a bad taste in my mouth? :scratch: I've watched both episodes, and for some reason, I find the show in poor taste.

It's just a bad coincidence. Maybe they could have delayed it a bit, but it still would have come out.

Invasion is a show about a Hurricane that hits Florida, but it's only a cover for some military operation. It's on ABC Wed nights. Of course it's not meant to be offensive to anyone, but anyone who's been through one, especially those still struggling, probably don't want to see some of those images. I know the TV has a 'off' button... but it's just a little odd.
I guess it seems a little too soon since the main story on the 6 o'clock news is about all the people who died and/or lost everything in a hurricane, then at 9 o'clock we watch a show about people struggling after a hurricane for entertainment.
Just kind of surprising. Normally in todays ultra politically correct world they wouldn't do that.

I know I am not offended and found the show rather interesting. You have to remember, the show was already set to air last night, and was planned way before the hurricaine season. I think that is no different than some people being offended when the movie "Twister" came out at the theatres during tornado season. You can always plan when to air a show, you can't plan on what mother nature has up her sleeves.
