I remember watching reruns of this show when I was a kid in the late ‘70s & early ‘80s. It fell somewhat in line with a Marvel comic I collected at the time...ROM:Space Knight. | |||

I grew up watching it. It was very good for the time And it shaped what i expected from a subtle alien invasion in my mind for the rest of my life. David Vincent was my hero. Early invaders could not bend their pinkies. 0-0 "OP is a troll" - Flashlightboy, 12/18/20 | |||

I recall watching it back when it was aired. "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system,,,, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe "If we let things terrify us, life will not be worth living." -- Seneca the Younger, Roman Stoic philosopher | |||

I remember the show well. Nobody would believe the guy that these guys with the altered pinky were aliens. That sort of theme was popular then. Robert Kimble MD, in The Fugitive, falsely accused of murder looking for the one armed man who killed his wife. Of course with the Cold War at the time everybody was a little paranoid. | |||

A few friends and I started a 4pc band in Junior High, we named it "The Invaders" and had business cards printed courtesy of 2 of the guys in the bands Dad, was a Commercial Artist. We made a lot of loud racket (err music) and hours of fun. That was a great show and watched every episode. I loved their saucers, and Vincent played the part very well. It fueled my interests in ufology. Regards, Will G. | |||

I believe the show was banned in Iowa at the time. There was fear it would upset the farmers. Instead the program Barn Dance was featured on Iowa television. It had Geritol commercials and adds for hybrid corn seeds. Hope this helps. | |||

I first saw it when the local station showed reruns of it in the afternoons circa the mid-1970s. Currently it is on Saturday nights around midnight on MeTV (what they call "Super Sci-Fi Saturday Night.") Then and now, I can take or leave it.This message has been edited.

I was born in 1961 and I remember watching this show when it originally aired in the mid 60's. I could not tell you anything about the episodes, other than I watched it. Enjoying watching it now on MeTV on the weekends.

Great show. Hearing or reading about someone suffering from a Cerebral hemorrhage always brought back memories of the show along with suspicions. | |||

Being a big fan of Extraterrestrials in general, your thread inspired me bendable, to snap up a couple of alien T-shirts, you know...in case they return someday   Regards, Will G. | |||

As mentioned by a couple of you, I caught it in afternoon reruns in the ‘80s. I got a kick out of it. "The sea was angry that day, my friends - like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli." - George Costanza | |||
