HOT TRAILER! Watch the first trailer for Falling Skies, 2011's first big buzz TV show.

You will want to watch this. (''I was in school when the ships came. . . They were really big. We weren't gonna attack them with nuclear bombs because they might have wanted to be friends. But they didn't want to be friends. . . )

And here's something even I don't know yet: Will South African TV viewers get to see Steven Spielberg's awesome looking new science fiction drama Falling Skies first on TopTV's FX (TopTV 110) like The Walking Dead, or on DStv's M-Net (DStv 101) like The Event and V?

The very first trailer for this new drama starring ER's Noah Wyle is now out, and the mesmerizing post-apocalyptic show that will start in America in June is a combination of The Walking Dead (minus the zombies), The Event, Lost, V and Independence Day.

The show calls itself ''a tale of endurance, committment and courage in which everyday people are called upon to be heroes'' and starts in the aftermath of an alien attack (aliens called Skitters and Mechs and they're still here and we see them) that has left the world incapacitated. Noah Wyle plays professor Tom Mason who leads a band of  survivors and tries to find his family. Falling Skies is produced by DreamWorks Television.
