I loved all those old shows. Scifi has shown them from time to time. Perhaps they do not do well with ratings. Because as Rave says, they do not hold up well

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: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.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 scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com <mailto:scifinoir2%40yahoogroups.com> , Keith Johnson <keithbjohn...@...> wrote: > > Well, this is odd.
