Title: Slightly OT: TV Show "The Invaders"
Post by: Ed, Ego and Superego on October 23, 2005, 11:23:07 PM
Anyone remember this one?  A 1960's show about aliens slowly and secretly taking over the planet.  One guy knows the truth and the alien establishment discredits him.  It was sort of a Fugitive, but with space stuff.  I have seen about 4 episodes, they used to be on at 5:30 AM and I could catch them if I was up early or late enough.  I'd love to see them again, I really liked this show.  They tried a remake on FOX or UPN a few years ago (I think with Scott Bakula, don't hold me to that), but it wasn't the same.

Yes, you could tell the aliens because they couldn't bend their pinky finger and they vaporized when you killed them, thus destroying the evidence (an idea later stolen by the SciFi series First Wave).

I remember the remake idea, but I don't think it got past the airing of the pilot.

I did not know about the pinky finger.   My great aunt would have been toast had she met him while drinking.

And the weird saucers, and the "Immolator" guns they used to toast people. Ah, the early days of my paranoia....what fun.
