May not be as important as a senate election, but good television is pretty rare too. If this series has ever been rerun since the 1960s its not been on stations I could watch. I've just seen a few vhs tapes.

Actually it’s just like an election.. the Libtards are the INvaders!.

Great series though (at the time).. I’ll be watching a few episodes !

This series ran in reruns, during the day, in the early 1980’s on the local ABC affiliate in Santa Barbara, California....KEYT. I hadn’t seen the series since I was a kid, so I tried to watch it whenever I could.

The local news even did a piece about the re-airing of the original series. I was surprised when the reporter mentioned that David Vincent saw the original saucer land in the Santa Ynez Valley, in the mountains above Santa Barbara. Vincent wasn’t in a “ghost town.” None exist, to my knowledge, in that part of California.

Great action packed series. Who can forget Suzanne Pleshette, an alien who took human form, working as a stripper in one episode? Or the shocked face of David Vincent as he watches the alien spacecraft land in the middle of the night at the beginning of each episode, with the voice-over saying, “Now David Vincent knows that the invaders are here, that they have taken human form. Somehow he must convince, a dis-believing world, that the nightmare has already begun.”

“The Invaders” series has a lot of similarity to the later mini-series “V”; aliens in human form on a nefarious mission to overtake the planet. It even has the alien rebels who don’t want to destroy the humans. Come to think of it, even the latest “Battlestar Galactica” series follows much the same plot of a hidden enemy. It does make a good plot device.

Thanks for the heads up...been avoiding Sci-Fi because of all the bogus ‘ghost hunters’ BS.

The SciFi (ScyFy) channel ran the television series “First Wave” for three years from 1998-2001, which was somewhat similar to the “Invaders” of the 1960s. When I saw the ‘aliens’ in “First Wave” dissolve into a red dust if they were kill to prevent detection from Earth authorities, I immediately thought of the “Invaders” and how those ‘aliens’ also dissolved into a red dust...

“First Wave” has a great opening narration, which ends with ‘Cade Foster’ intoning “I will stop the First Wave”.
