Alien Nation - The Series was a television series based on the 1988 film Alien Nation starring James Caan and Mandy Patinkin. The Series ran for 22 episodes on the Fox network but was resurrected for several made for TV films. In the series, Detective Sikes was portrayed by Gary Graham and Francisco was portrayed by Eric Pierpoint.

The following guns were used in the show:

Colt Detective Special

An odd choice, but in the Pilot Episode, LAPD Detective George Francisco (Eric Pierpoint) carries a Colt Detective Special. It would have been more correct for him to carry a Model 27 Snub nose (.357 Magnum) which was more common for LAPD detectives in the 1970s-1980s. But upon careful examination of the front end of the barrel (when compared to all of the other Smith & Wesson Snub nosed revolvers in other calibers, this does appear to be a Model 10.
