I don't, for exactly the same reason....

Falling Skies just seems like another lame-assed show( sci-fi or no )from that network.
I don't actually watch anything else on the network, with the exception of Franklin and Bash, which is sort of goofy but fun. I would say Falling Skies is okay for what it is. And I gotta give them some credit just for having the balls to put it on the air in the first place. I probably said it already, but it's not like we're awash in post-apocalyptic sci-fi right now, with or without aliens. It's not Battlestar Galactica, by any stretch, and I don't think it's as good as the early press word was, but it's not bad, either.

As far as comparing it to Jar-Jar, there's nothing even remotely Jar-Jar on the show. It's a family show, sure, but there's none of that Lucas being desperate for kids feel like the Ewoks or the Special Edition BS or (I think the worst) all the bullshit groundhogs in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. They do go overboard with the touchy-feely family moments but there's no forced kid garbage. Thankfully.
