That was a pretty creative montage sequence during the first War of the Worlds narration, showing the telescopic technology of the "martians", and using a frog eye to represent a martian eye.
@legoflamb Considering this was made in 1980, I expected a soundtrack that consisted of the worst of the 70s and the worst of the 80s combined. I'm *so* glad that didn't happen.
It actually seems like they put a lot of effort into making this timeless, not tying it into any era.

If I had to watch one television series for the rest of my life, it would be Carl Sagan's Cosmos. Hands down.

It is a TV trick. You only ware one or two outfits when on camera so when they edit the footage you don't keep changing.
