Sci Fi Channel Commission Pilot from Fox TV

Dan Waters (of Heathers and Demolition Man) is writing and executive producing the pilot. Aaron Geller will be an executive producer and Darryl Porter will be co-executive producer, under their PorterGeller Entertainment first-look deal with Fox Television Studios.

The comedic pilot is about three humanoid aliens stranded in middle America, and explores the themes found in such classics as Stranger In A Strange Land, The Day the Earth Stood Still, and Starman, but with a dose of South Park-like satire.

 Stranded on our world under false pretenses, the trio - a woman and two men in human form - must figure out how to escape, while navigating the confusing social conventions of present-day Earth. Despite their extremely advanced technology and intellect, they find themselves naïve in the commonplace things that humans take for granted, such as falling in love and paying bills.
