The Pilot (Season 1) - December 4^th, 2001

Description:

Debut: This engaging sci-fi drama focuses on three teen survivors of the famed 1947 UFO crash who have quietly lived in Roswell, N.M., for 16 years. In the intriguing opener, the aliens' secret is jeopardized when Max uses his powers to save the life of Liz, a girl he has secretly admired for years. His actions lead Liz to discover the truth about Max, his sister Isabelle and their friend, Michael. The promising series is more than a science-fiction show, says executive producer Jason Katims. "At its heart, it's a love story," he says. "The love story is the glue that holds everything together." Jeff Parker: John Doe. Deputy Blackwood: Michael Horse. Jennifer: Wendle Josepher. Larry Trilling: Kevin Weisman. Mayor Sandler: Vance Valencia. Paramedic: Joe Camareno. Ms. Hardy: Volanda Lloyd Delgado. Liz at 7 years: Channing Carson. Max at 7 years: Daniel Hansen. Isabel at 7 years: Zoe Nutter.
