Though not picked up by FOX for the fall line-up, producer David Eick (Battlestar Galactica) says that Them, is still very much alive. "They are talking to us about perhaps spending money on it and trying things and getting it into play I guess for midseason. All I know is it's still in play and something the network is very actively talking about," said Eick.

 

Them, which seems to bear no resemblance to the 1954 radioactive ant film of the same name, focuses on the U.S. government's efforts to break up sleeper cells of aliens operating out of Los Angeles.

 

This new show sounds cool, but I was kind of hoping it would be about radioactive ants. Or maybe FOX should reconfigure it into a sitcom called "U.S. and Them." It would center around a suburban American family and those noisy alien neighbors who are up all night because there are four moons circling Navoor II, their home planet, thus giving them different sleep cycles. FOX, call me.
