War of the Worlds 1988

War of the Worlds is a television program that ran for two seasons, from 1988 to 1990. The series is an extension of the original 1953 film The War of the Worlds, often incorporating aspects from the film, radio adaptation, and original novel into its mythology.

Though the original film's producer, George Pál, conceived of a TV series from the same film sometime in the seventies,[1] it wasn't until the late eighties that a series was finally realised, this time by television producer Greg Strangis. The show was a part of the boom of first run syndicated television series being produced at the time.

This series had nothing to do with the 2005 Tom Cruise remake, did it?

[Prometheo1]

I don't think so. But the War of the Worlds TV series itself does seem to be inspired by Scientology.

a very underrated series.

This show was great. I watched it until it stopped being syndicated. So happy to see it again.

@MusicOfAdam u get some shows that dont even run 2 episodes unless it s a mini series

First season was fantastic! Second season was crap. But that was because they got rid of all the good writers and others. Sort of what happened to The Outer Limits during it's first run back in the 60's.

@Prometheo1 I was a huge fan, I loved the movie and this series was a must watch with my parents.

COULD. NOT. WATCH this as a kid, those alien scenes scared the shit outta me…even in the daylight. I was seeing things for years after that (it certainly didn't help that my grandfather's old workshop was extra creepy at night and I had the only window facing it). Even now, if things are too quiet, I turn on the tv or the radio. I own both sets of DVDs now, and I'm braver than before, able to recognize the cheesiness, but part of me is STILL afraid of the dark because of this
