The red-hot alien drama, which premieres tonight following glowing reviews, has nonetheless made a change at the top. Original showrunner Scott Peters has been replaced by "Chuck" alum Scott Rosenbaum, ABC confirmed Tuesday. Peters will retain an executive producer credit on "V." But Rosenbaum, an executive producer on "Chuck" (and "The Shield"), will now be at the helm. The showrunner shift had been anticipated in Hollywood circles for weeks, since ABC and Warner Bros. TV made the joint decision to halt production on the series in order to get scripts in shape. According to USA Today, which broke the news of the shuffle, Peters was removed from his post last Thursday. "V" begins a four-episode run tonight at 8. It's scheduled to return in March for the remainder of its first season.

I am looking forward to it. I LOVED the original when I was a kid and tried to watch it anytime it came on as reruns. From the commercials it looks like they've dumped a bunch of money into. Scott Wolf looks bad, like his face is caving in on him, though.

I'm a fan of the original miniseries and the sequel, V: The Final Battle, not so much with the tv series that came after that. I haven't watched the new pilot yet, but I'm excited for it. That said, I think they should have just done a mini-series event, like they did with the original or they should have done a 13 episode order a la Harper's Island. Who knows how this will play out though.

Hopefully they don't derail the show with too much network meddling.
