The Invaders was my absolute favourite show of all time. It was popular during the late 60's when interest in ufo's was at fever pitch. It was incredibly well done with eerie incidental music and lots of paranoia. One of the first of the "adult" sciece fiction programs, it was far ahead of its time and deserved a better fate (cancelled after 2 seasons)...
Great show and great concept. Every time one of the invaders was killed or died their bodies would disintigrate into nothing so he had no physical proof that he show others
My brother had a slightly bent pinkie from playing the guitar, and one of my childhood friends was born with a bent pinkie! They used to laugh when we called them Invaders!
Great opening titles - those sounds, that speech -it all comes back. Due for a remake me thinks, let's hope it isn't too PC when they do. These aliens were 'hard core' and 'nasty' (for a Sunday afternoon) I expect they'll give the lead to a women so she can 'express her feelings' whilst being on the run.......still it could be worst - just look at the crap remake of V for things to avoid.
The thing about all of the QM series is that they were set up like a stage play on film where the cast was introduced. Also, The Invaders was probably the greatest influence on guys like Steven Spielberg. In the 60's T.V.s series were very different and inovative such as Twilight Zone, Outer Limits and The Invaders.
They did an Invaders miniseries about 10-plus years ago, but it just did not capture the magic of the original. One has to be in a late 1960s mindset to appreciate this show.
The invaders have infiltrated our society,assuming the identity of average Americans, they look and act the same as us, but are not,and have infiltrated the highest levels of government,working toward the ultimate goal of enslaving the human race, and only a small group of people that are not fooled by their phony disquise are the heroes trying to save the rest of the people from doom. Kind of sounds like Obama and the Liberals.
@federalwarhawk oh dear get over it............ The democrates and the republicans are two sides of the same coin. Don't tell you that on Fox news propaganda channel though do they!
This was a great show.I used to watch it as a kid in the 60's.But now there is another sci fi show on that has the same storyline,of aliens coming to earth taking on human form and plans to inhabit our earth because theirs is dying.What is it you say?It's called The Event! Yep! That's it!it's an awesome show and it's the same as the Invaders just modernized.I love it and if you want an awesome sci fi with a good storyline and plot,watch the Event.Hope it doen't get cancelled.I heard it might.
The exception rather than the rule. An intelligent science fiction. The guest stars were top-notch, the writing was first rate and Roy Thinnes was exceptional. With all of the herky jerky camera work, juvenile dialogue, profanity laced scripts and gratuitous nude scenes, today's "quality" television (it's called "quality" because the networks like HBO,etc. tell us so and if we disagree, we're unsophisticated oafs who just don't get it) it's a pleasure to crank it back and see true quality.
This programme and also the Outer Limits scared the hell out of me too when I watched them as a kid in the 60's. Thank you for all these intros as well - -they are brilliant!
@stigotron The Outer Limits with David McCallum with the large head from gaining so much intelligence haunted me forever. There was a guy with a condition where his head had enlarged at the bowling alley where we went in San Antonio back then. That was creepy.
@mousearebec That was the sixth finger he evolved into the future he wanted to push the lever to infinity he said to his girlfriend you wouldnt want to go back to being an ape but she pulled him back at the last minute
@spacepatrolman Strange how so many shows in the 60's had some space reference, suggesting how they were usually the enemy... what earthlings you people are.
Has there ever been a more beautiful man than Thinnes when he appears here with the red light flashing on his face 1:06 to 1:21? Leaves me breathless.
Brilliant! I had forgotton how much I enjoyed this as a kid , I will immediately look for DVD'S is it any wonder , I'm bonkers being brought up on a diet of this ??????LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was my favorite television show of all time without question. It was so far ahead of its time.So many movies and tv shows have copied its idea and theme. I also loved loved the opening intro to each episode with its spoken update by the moderator. However I was not happy when they removed the creepy signature background music that was a part of each opening and ending. I still can't figure out why they changed it after the first 5 or 6 episodes. It was so unique to the series.
Good idea to have a fortress! I'd love to visit Argentina one day,It sounds like an exotic place.I have read there are many reports of Flying discs. I wish that Obama would come clean on the flying saucer evidence but maybe the whole world cant handle the truth.Thanks for replying and best wishes from Australia.
I used to stay up late 9.30 to watch the Invaders.I was absolutely terrified when the titles came on.Now we are living on a dying planet! This was in Australia in the 1960's I was about 8 0r 9 years old and even had one of the model spacecraft .They dont make em like that any more my kids wouldnt even bother! The nightmare is coming true.......
@TheGrunge619 My brother and I used to watch it in Argentina and just the music alone would frighten us. We would watch from under our dining table and place all 4 chairs strategically around it as a sort of "fortress" !
My Father was one of those people who described most TV Sci-Fi series as rubbish, but this one was one he would sit down, watch and totally enjoy. I have bought the entire DVD set - twice, sadly, I would prefer it on cassette since my DVDs seem to get scratched too easily. I understand that they made a sequel to this with Scott Bakula at the helm and one episode has Roy Thinnes in it, but I do not know how good it was as it has, as far as I know, never been shown in the UK. Perhaps one day.
@frank47hammer Mine to. I did my best not to miss it. They tried to remake it but failed very badly with Scott Bakula as the main caracter with Roy Thines as a watcher. It totally sucked. No imagination what so ever. All they had to do is just build on what was before. May be some one will come along and do this classic show justice.
I love how every Quinn Martin show had to let you know who produced it and the openings may have had different themes but every opening on his shows were the same. I miss those great theme songs though, music on tv today is so boring and generic.
If I remember correctly, didn't the invaders used some sort of round device and push it on the back of their victims necks to make them also "of the party". And the way you could tell it was a invader was his pinky finger stood up. Sorta what the republicans do now.
I love how most "alien invasions" are always alien spies who infiltrate the population in human form. Other than War of the Worlds, and Independence Day, why don't the Aliens just come swooping in with big lasers and just start blasting everything?
Of course many of these shows were cold-war era, and the "aliens" were really a synonym for communist spies and such...
Theres was always something special about a quinn martin production and this intro is just as good as the first time i seen it old i know but still has its magic.
Remember the pinky extended? My father used to get drunk; and before he prepared to get wasted, he would pour his booze with PINKY EXTENDED!!!!!!!!!!!
the invaders one of the best series for his scripts dark and good performances together with the twilight zone and the fugitive series of high quality
Boy do I remember this... I used to think everybody who had a dislocated pinky was "one of them"... especially the Vice Principal at my school... now THERE was a guy from another galaxy!!! Thanks for posting!

This was one of the creepiest TV programmes I saw as a child (only the BBC's DR WHO was creepier). It's atmosphere was one of dread and foreboding; paranoia rampant; and aliens around every corner.
Years later, as an adult, I still have an unease about driving down "lonely country roads"...
Awesome show that capitalized on the cold war era fears and was truly imaginative. Well-written plots using difficult and expensive (for its time) special effects. Even though the various outdoor location shots cost much more than the in studio scenes, it gave the show a sense of realism. Like, it could've been filmed in your town. The producers went to great lengths the scare the audience. I remember hearing the eery music at night and would sneek a peak from the stairway. Great show!
Does anybody know if the DVD has substitle in Spanish. As far as I know the soundtrack is only in English but I would like to know the subtites available. Thanks
I`s unbelievable to see the invaders again.I used to watch this TV series when I was a kid and I still enjoy watching every show since this series is one of my favorite of these classic TV series.I also enjoy seeing these old commercials of products I don`t remember even existed.
Actually, the episode titled 'Beachhead' was the pilot. Too bad they didn't remake this series instead of doing 'V', though at least it brings sci-fi back to network TV.
@jupitr2 TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH I HAD TROUBLE LEAVING A MESSAGE.IT SHOWD ERROR.I CANT SEE THEM SHOWING THIS......EVER . THERES SO MUCH CRAP GOING AROUND IT PROBABLY CAUSE MASS PANIC........................I LIKED IT TOO WHEN I WAS A LITTLE KID SCARED OF THE DARK. SOMETHINGS NEVER CHANGE .BUT NOW IAM WEARY.........
@jupitr2 actually they did do a remake just seen it ,starring scott bakula from quantum leap and enterprise .but dont look for it ,it was absolute sh**e, nowhere as good as the original
@whiteknightgb11 Yeah, I was excited to hear about the remake and remember Roy Thinnes made a cameo appearance in it. I remember watching it and then saw John Boy Walton (Richard Thomas) as an alien and thought to myself, "Now this is a POS!" Story was all F'd up too. With something as well done as what 'The Invaders' was, it will be hard to hit paydirt twice with any sort of reincarnation of it.
I remember watching this show when I was a kid, it scared me as a child and was exciting. When I got older I wanted to see the show again. I got some of the videos from GoodTime Videos, however only 8 of them. So its great to see them on YouTube. Thanks
Despite the archaic direction styles and effects, this TV show is still highly regarded by TV sci-fi fans.
It is unique in that the aliens are taking over the world by subterfuge and by undermining the social network. It was never made clear what the aliens ultimately had in mind for the human race, but they were cold and unsympathetic in almost every case. Because of their very sinister peculiarity alone, it made the show even more engaging.
yep i remember this great series well,we all used to walk around our school with our little finger straight ,just like those hidden aliens did.....lol great memories
I don't think the color in which the aliens died or any other detail on the show had anything to do with the Cold War, yet it was part of the time. For God's sake, they were aliens, not russians. I was akid when this show originally aired and I loved it. Those Quinn Martin's shows were great!
Yeah, I agree with the comment, this show does have a meaning that can be translated into real-world events - especially nowadays in the Age of Liberalism. I think they should remake the series, to be set in the present day globalized world. The only alteration I would make would be the distinguishing feature of aliens: large beak-like noses and oddly positioned ears - just to let people know who the modern day invaders really are!
David Vincent los ha visto. Para él todo empezó una noche en un camino solitario cuando buscaba un atajo que nunca encontró (...) Ahora, David Vincent, sabe que los invasores han llegado, que se han adaptado al aspecto humano. En alguna forma, debe convencer a un mundo incrédulo de que la pesadilla ha comenzado.
The tear-away screens (especially the black ones) used to scare the hell out of me! They look like they're swallowing up your TV screen and about to eat your face!
he was called malachi throne, he was on star trek as the commodore in the court martial episode of menagerie, when spock takes the enterprise to talos iv to return capt pike to the talosions...
This show scared the hell out of me as a kid. Its great to relive it now on DVD in real color, not colorized. I always remember the aliens had crooked fingers, and me having nightmares after watching it every week. Creepy stuff.
Don't give much thought to the details. Just enjoy the program as it was meant to be. I used to enjoy the reruns as a kid in a local station (WRIK-TV Channel 7). Was this colorized? I don't remember watching it in color.Maybe it was TV receptor. Just remember,they're out there.
Or it could be a metaphor about how ignorant bigots like yourself are using youtube to invade the thoughts of people who aren't sub human redneck dicks. It must be comforting to know that your warped belief in a conspiracy will keep you company throughout your brief and tawdry existence.
Magellan wasn't spaniard,but portuguese (Magalhaes).Spanish,anyway,was the money,and the ships,and also Juan Sebastian Elcano,who took the command of the ship that completed the first circumnavigation of Earth after Magellan's death.
Actualy (if memory serves) this cracking series ran for a hell of a lot of episodes.I do remember that the pilot movie for the remake of the Invaders starring Scott Bakula was absolutely boring.A shame.
Boring as all the remakes. If ain't broken, don't fix it.The remakes of Lost In Space and My Favorite Martian were a shame. They relied too much in the special effects available at time verssus the special effects the original producers had. However,I liked The Fugitive movie from the '90s.
It began one lost night on a country road......it began with a closed deserted diner......it began with the landing of a craft from another galaxy and it finally ended when it was axed!!

una serie pionera en el genero. mucho se ha realizado y creado en ficcion luego de the invaders. Legó al cine de ficción un espíritu único y marcó a toda una generación. Quien no recordará al luchador solitario David Vincent ?
Solo la música te transporta nuevamente a la época.

This was one of the creepiest TV programmes I saw as a child (only the BBC's DR WHO was creepier). It's atmosphere was one of dread and foreboding; paranoia rampant; and aliens around every corner.
Years later, as an adult, I still have an unease about driving down "lonely country roads"...

Awesome show that capitalized on the cold war era fears and was truly imaginative. Well-written plots using difficult and expensive (for its time) special effects. Even though the various outdoor location shots cost much more than the in studio scenes, it gave the show a sense of realism. Like, it could've been filmed in your town. The producers went to great lengths the scare the audience. I remember hearing the eery music at night and would sneek a peak from the stairway. Great show!

Actually, the episode titled 'Beachhead' was the pilot. Too bad they didn't remake this series instead of doing 'V', though at least it brings sci-fi back to network TV.

@jupitr2 actually they did do a remake just seen it ,starring scott bakula from quantum leap and enterprise .but dont look for it ,it was absolute sh**e, nowhere as good as the original
whiteknightgb11 6 months ago
@whiteknightgb11 Yeah, I was excited to hear about the remake and remember Roy Thinnes made a cameo appearance in it. I remember watching it and then saw John Boy Walton (Richard Thomas) as an alien and thought to myself, "Now this is a POS!" Story was all F'd up too. With something as well done as what 'The Invaders' was, it will be hard to hit paydirt twice with any sort of reincarnation of it.

Despite the archaic direction styles and effects, this TV show is still highly regarded by TV sci-fi fans.
It is unique in that the aliens are taking over the world by subterfuge and by undermining the social network. It was never made clear what the aliens ultimately had in mind for the human race, but they were cold and unsympathetic in almost every case. Because of their very sinister peculiarity alone, it made the show even more engaging.

The only way that you knew that someone was an alien was by the position of their little fingers - always in a crooked position.
january301973 2 years ago
I don't think the color in which the aliens died or any other detail on the show had anything to do with the Cold War, yet it was part of the time. For God's sake, they were aliens, not russians. I was akid when this show originally aired and I loved it. Those Quinn Martin's shows were great!

Yeah, I agree with the comment, this show does have a meaning that can be translated into real-world events - especially nowadays in the Age of Liberalism. I think they should remake the series, to be set in the present day globalized world. The only alteration I would make would be the distinguishing feature of aliens: large beak-like noses and oddly positioned ears - just to let people know who the modern day invaders really are!

David Vincent los ha visto. Para él todo empezó una noche en un camino solitario cuando buscaba un atajo que nunca encontró (...) Ahora, David Vincent, sabe que los invasores han llegado, que se han adaptado al aspecto humano. En alguna forma, debe convencer a un mundo incrédulo de que la pesadilla ha comenzado.

Don't give much thought to the details. Just enjoy the program as it was meant to be. I used to enjoy the reruns as a kid in a local station (WRIK-TV Channel 7). Was this colorized? I don't remember watching it in color.Maybe it was TV receptor. Just remember,they're out there.

Or it could be a metaphor about how ignorant bigots like yourself are using youtube to invade the thoughts of people who aren't sub human redneck dicks. It must be comforting to know that your warped belief in a conspiracy will keep you company throughout your brief and tawdry existence.

Magellan wasn't spaniard,but portuguese (Magalhaes).Spanish,anyway,was the money,and the ships,and also Juan Sebastian Elcano,who took the command of the ship that completed the first circumnavigation of Earth after Magellan's death.

Actualy (if memory serves) this cracking series ran for a hell of a lot of episodes.I do remember that the pilot movie for the remake of the Invaders starring Scott Bakula was absolutely boring.A shame.

Boring as all the remakes. If ain't broken, don't fix it.The remakes of Lost In Space and My Favorite Martian were a shame. They relied too much in the special effects available at time verssus the special effects the original producers had. However,I liked The Fugitive movie from the '90s.
