I assume someone else is watching this TBS comedy about a therapy group whose members have all be abducted by aliens. The aliens are also around for the fun.

It is not an uproariously funny show, but not very serious either. The case is quite good and consists of various people who were ‘taken’ when they were young and their interactions.

The aliens consist of a short ‘grey-type’, a tall thin Nordic looking guy (Bjorn, I think, is the actors name), and a few lizard types.

For more information, [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_of_Earth_(TV_series)) is the Wikipedia entry for the show.

I don’t know whether it will be renewed for a second season, but I will definitely watch it if it is.
