No, it doesn't, Tracey. They cycled it out in favor of 'The Virginian".

I miss the days when television was loaded with cop, cowboy, western, suspense, and scifi shows, and you saw the same actors showing up all over them in various roles. most of the folks I've seen appeared on at least Twilight Zone or Outer Limits back in the day, not to mention Gunsmoke, The Big Valley, Bonanza, Police Story, or The Six Million Dollar Man. I'm seeing a bit more of that guide of journeyman work for character actors on some of the TNT, USA, SyFy, and A&E shows like "Burn Notice", "Eureka", etc. Lots of actors from the cableverse are appearing on each others' shows. > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Keith Johnson" <KeithBJohnson@ comcast.net> > To: scifino...@yahoogro ups.com > Sent: Monday, January 18, 2010 4:47:46 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern > Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] Re: "The Invaders" on SyFY > > > > Actually, watching the show again, i find it to be fairly sophisticated and well done, as I said earlier. This was scifi done the way it was in the old days: where many of the showrunners/ writers/actors had decidedly non scifi backgrounds, and simply brought the standards of action and drama they'd learned from cop shows and Westerns to the scifi genre. It's why I love the early eps of the original Star Trek: they're very dramatic, full of good acting and deep themes. > And like I said, I'm enjoying this forty-year old "Invaders" more than ninety percent of the SyFy Originals dreck we get each weekend! > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Mark Ellis" <jaxl...@yahoo. com> > To: scifino...@yahoogro ups.com > Sent: Monday, January 18, 2010 12:59:54 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern > Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] Re: "The Invaders" on SyFY > > > > > It's interesting that "UFOlogy" was in its infancy at that point, but the writers had obviously done their research, particularly with the Men In Black. > > MarkEllisInk. com > Site of best-selling author Mark (James Axler) Ellis > > --- On Mon, 1/18/10, Keith Johnson <KeithBJohnson@ comcast.net> wrote: > > > From: Keith Johnson <KeithBJohnson@ comcast.net> > Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] Re: "The Invaders" on SyFY > To: scifino...@yahoogro ups.com > Date: Monday, January 18, 2010, 12:51 PM > > > > Agreed, I watched it religiously when I was a kid. I dig the vibrant colors of the sets, and man, i've lost count of all the familiar guest stars! Still, it had a good core of plot and acting, so it's aged well. > This goes back to my earlier questions: why doesn't SyFy show more stuff like this? I had no clue they even owned rights to this show. i'm always looking for Land of the Giants, Time Tunnel, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, etc., and instead I get SyFy Originals crap and Ghost Hunters. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Kelwyn" <ravena...@yahoo. com> > To: scifino...@yahoogro ups.com > Sent: Monday, January 18, 2010 11:53:06 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern > Subject: [scifinoir2] Re: "The Invaders" on SyFY > > > > I love, love, LOVED this show when it was on (but then I was a sucker for the whole Quinn Martin ouevre: "Twelve O'Clock High," "The Fugitive"). Watching it now is kind of like watching old "Wild, Wild West" episodes (fake-looking sets, bad wigs, extremely fake-looking fight scenes and strident, god-awful music!).

SyFy is running an all day marathon of the classic TV series "The Invaders". This was the original "aliens walk among us plotting to take over the world" show, the forerunner for aspects of everything from "The X-Files" (on which the lead had a part, I believe), to "Third Wave". This was a classic '60s scifi series, with the look and great guest stars that distinguished shows of that era. So far I've seen Roddie McDowall and Suzanne Pleshette.
