As I recall, a dozen or so years ago Sy-Fy nee' Sci-Fi filled most of its daily programming with not just The Invaders but Lost In Space, Land of the Giants, Voyage to the Bottom of The Sea, Time Tunnel, Star Trek, Buck Rogers, Battlestar Galactica, Galactica 1980, Kolchak: The Night Stalker, War of the Worlds, V, the original Outer Limits and even some more off-trail stuff like Thriller.

I almost jumped for joy when I happened to surf across the channel and saw the synopsis for the ep. Good stuff, long past...

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 ups.com, Keith Johnson <KeithBJohnson@ ...> wrote: > > Well, this is odd.
