As someone who worked from home, I watched all that stuff. They also showed some cancelled scifi shows from the 80's and early 90's. I also remember something called pilot playhouse, which was basically failed scifi pilots.

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!). The aliens did die "cool," though. ~rave! --- In scifino...@yahoogro <http://us.mc375.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=scifino...@yahoogroups.com> ups.com, Keith Johnson <KeithBJohnson@ ...> wrote: > > Well, this is odd. 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.
