I posted an article a while back on ATSNN related to this subject. It basically said how there is a huge jump in the amount of alien and paranormal-style programming on the major networks this fall. Of course, it was voted down by many of the morons on here as they couldn't see the connection between this and eventual disclosure. But oh well...
Let's at least hope that most of these programs are half-way decent and actually last more than one season!
no jokes please.

It really depends on what is shown thou.
For example, i've noticed a lot more Alien reference in shows, if not complete series or documentaries about the subject but that isn't enough to spell disclosure as these things always travell in waves.
BUT, the thing i've noticed is that the presentation of Aliens is becoming a lot more consentrated and precise. We're seeing a lot more similarities rather than just unique imaginatory ideas of Alien life.
The Mayans said we are going to move into a new phaze of consciousness circa 2012, they think the world will change so much that it will be a new place. Now people think that could be a metor or a nuclear war but i don't think that changes our consciousness as much as an introduction to a new entity.
There's nothing that could change the human race and it's entire belief system more so than an undeniable Alien presence in the world. Religion would be shaken to the core, answers would be needed on so many levels that we'd be forced to accept a new way of understanding our existance.
I'm hoping that's what the Mayans were expecting, Nuclear war is just way to out of style - what a dissapointment if that's all we get in 2012!

Doesn't this line of reasoning imply that the studios are in some position to actually assist in the process of disclosure, though? I mean, for this to be true, the studios would have to either know something about the truth behind alien visitation themselves or have been told by some government agency to produce programs dealing with aliens as the subject matter. In all honesty, I just can't see either of these as reflecting the reality of the situation.
Television studios are interested largely in making money. I would argue that the reason we may see more programs concerning aliens is not as a precursor to disclosure, but simply due to the fact that the studios have seen other successful alien-related shows (Taken and The 4400, for example - yes, they're not technically aliens, but we didn't know that for the first season) and wish to hop on the bandwagon. When a formula or a concept works, it is natural to want to use that formula repeatedly, since it obviously reflects what the public is attracted to at the time, therefore generating increased profits. If shows about aliens are proving to be popular and are therefore generating advertising revenue, it is natural to expect the studios to produce more shows that have to do with aliens.
As for disclosure coming from the mass media rather than through official channels, how long are they going to wait to "prepare us"? There have been shows and movies that deal with aliens as the subject matter, both fiction and non-fiction, for decades. I think that the general populace is as prepared as it is ever going to be. I think that if disclosure ever does occur, it must come from some official, government source. I simply don't believe that other agencies, like the media, know the reality of what is going on.
these shows are pointing to something specific
Wish I had a link, but the commericial showed a crop cirlce yet to be debunked (circles radiating from a center point. (famous among crop circle researchers.)

What is it you think they are pointing to? How is it that you think the television studios are in a position to know anything about the truth behind alien visitation and disclose it to the general public? Unless you think that the television studios are being utilised by the government in order to pave the way for disclosure?
Also, I'm sorry but how does the portrayal of one crop circle point towards anything specific? I'm not trying to be argumentative, but I really think you may be reading more into this than there truly is. The studios' motive is money. They see the success of other alien shows and copy them.
I agree with you completely about studios wanting money, they are jumping on the bandwagon of Lost... but with aliens.
Do you suppose that entertainment and news is indirectly controlled by the government? Of course it is, just ask Howard Stern.

I think the conspiracy here, would be more about maintaining the notion that UFOs are just imaginary things talked about by people who watch too much T.V.
I just can't see fictional T.V. shows as disclosure material, but they have been used in the past to discredit peoples claims , Betty and Barney Hill for example, were said to have seen a T.V. show episode about an abduction.
