A few years ago Metz�s book, Roswell High, which was [part of] a series of teen novels, was brought to the attention of my partner, Lisa Owen. For some reason I am associated with all things alien, the official spokesperson for the paranormal, [so it was passed to me].

This show appealed because it was not rubber headed aliens, it was, in fact, quite attractive intelligent teenagers who just happened to be aliens.

So, the premise of the show, that there were in fact aliens from Roswell who had infiltrated the public, I thought was very intriguing and very sellable. We attached Jason Katims, which has been a real blessing on all fronts, and the show was sold.
