Like most people who grew up in New Mexico, I've laughed at all space alien jokes and thought all touristy things were awful, so i watched this show the first time fully expecting to be embarressed for the real Roswell. But i wasn't. I'm definately not into SciFi or horror shows, zombies or any thing like that, but I love this show! My husband and I have all the episodes recorded and have watched them again and again. We're hooked.
