@EvanQuinn, @cathridge Ok kids, recess is over. You're blocked.

This was a brilliant conspiracy show acted out by a great actor who never got the top film jobs that he deserved.

@paleblue498 Sorry folks, I meant the voice wasn't William Conrad (which has become an urban legend about the show)...

@paleblue498 Also featured probably the greatest intro to a television show of all time with incredibly eerie Dominic Frontiere opening theme and wonderfully creepy narrative intro by William Woodson (no it wasn't Robert Conrad). The very unique title intro and guest line-up voice was supplied by Hank Sims

@NOBULLANDNOSPIN Don't think so. I was a huge fan of the show (15 years old at the time) and for those of you who weren't there, interest in ufo's worldwide was at fever pitch. It was great to see a science fiction show not aimed at 7 year old kids (no bug eyed monsters, no robots, etc) and featuring themes (again tapping into the times) of conspiracy and paranoia.

In 1995, a 3 part mini-series aired named "The Invaders" starring Scott Bakula. His character, Nolan Wood, discovers the invaders and finds they breathe carbon monoxide. He tries to warn people but no one listens, accept a former architect named David Vincent. Vincent tells Wood he found out all this 30 years previously and he passes the torch to Wood.

@ImaniHekima - Not to forget but Dominic Frontiere also did the music for another Quinn Martin production, 12 O'Clock High. -- watch?v=JkON4X4op_Q -- I guess Mr. Martin like the way he captured the WWII drama with that theme and asked him to score this show as well. It is strange that this episode aired on January 10, 1967 and the last episode of 12 O'Clock High was on January 13, 1967. I guess 12 O'Clock High got too expensive since QM was also producing The FBI.
