Not really odd, but odd TV related…

The devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina prompted ABC TV Thursday to pull its commercials for the new sci-fi series Invasion.

Invasion begins with aliens invading Florida during a hurricane, TV Week reported on its Web site.

So far, ABC has not said anything about changing Invasion’s Sept. 21 premiere date. But the network released a statement saying adjustments are ongoing across the board to make sure all programming is sensitive to Katrina’s victims.

First and foremost, our thoughts go out to all those affected by this tragedy, the network’s statement read. As with anything as serious as this we are taking great efforts to assess sensitivities with regard to our series. We are currently looking at all our programming and marketing efforts with this in mind. Our changes and adjustments are ongoing.
