Although staged as science fiction, the story-lines generally revolved around thinly disguised morality plays on the evils of racism, and bigotry against ethnic minorities, women, and gay people. For example, during the run of the series, George became pregnant (the male of his species carrying the fetus for part of his gestation) and the series often offered social commentary by illustrating the differences and similarities between humans and the Newcomers. Morality plays are a type of theatrical allegory in which the protagonist is met by personifications of various moral attributes who try to prompt him to choose a Godly life over one of evil. ...

The show ran for just one season, from 1989 through 1990, when a financial crunch at the fledgling Fox Network (it was one of the network's first dramatic series) forced the show's cancellation. A second season was clearly expected by the producers, as the season ended with a cliffhanger. The show built a strong fan base, and popular demand led to "Dark Horizon", the episode that would have begun the second season, being novelized and adapted as a comic book. Several years later, the story of Alien Nation was continued with several television movies, including the long-delayed "Dark Horizon".
