A fun trip in the time machine 
2008-08-15
I was a huge fan of this series during its too-short run. I was about seven, so I was a little worried that it would not be as much fun as I remembered.
But it is!
It's pretty basic science fiction, with inexpensive sets and what might be considered laughable effects. Sort of The Fugitive, with aliens. (Same producer did both.) But there's lots of familiar faces, fine acting, and some real issues that still prompt discussion today. There's real chills and suspense, and you'll never look at people's pinkies the same way again.
Another thing I didn't expect was the way my husband and I marveled at the way people lived in 1966. He makes calls from a pay phone! The cars are huge! The suits are baggy! They listen to records!
If you were a fan back when, ya gotta have. If you weren't, it's still a charming example of a thoughtful science fiction series at a time when this was very rare. Perhaps it paved the way for Star Trek.
Good, Not Perfect 2008-08-14
I don't know if it's my DVD player, but the "prologue" before the main titles is "skipped" on one episode on each of the discs, so I have to fast reverse to pick up that portion of the show. Otherwise, a great set. Roy Thinnes does look a bit odd these days.
invaders first season 
2008-08-13
higher quality color and format than the old copy that i bought a couple years ago. looking forward to season two.
Highly dated, but good! 2008-08-11
Don't fool yourself: this is an extremely dated TV show. From the cartoonish special effects, stand-alone episodes, no character development, through the almost unbearable never-ending pounding sountrack, it's dated in every aspect.
But it's good. Acting is very satisfactory, Roy Thinnes as the leading actor is solid, plot line (although pretty simple and sometimes altogether obvious) are enjoying. Transfer for DVD coul be better, but both sound and image are highly satisfactory. For the price they ask for it, it's a fair purchase.
There's only one unforgivable flaw, in my opinion: the lack of English subtitles for the hearing-impaired. I know there's a budget and a profit assingned to each product, but I think it's almost an offense to not inlude (at least) English subtitles. Other old shows (or even older, like RAT PATROL) have them. Shame on the producers of this DVD set for this flaw.
They're Finally Here ! 2008-08-06
It's been a long time coming, but worth the wait. The best sequential science fiction TV series of the last 40 years is finally here! Paramount has gone above and beyond in this release of Season 1, with beautifully restored episodes, cool extras including the original length unaired pilot and intoductions to each episode by David Vincent himself - Mr. Roy Thinnes!!!! Not only is this labor of love an answer to every fans' dreams, but it's reasonably priced to boot! If you've never seen this series, you're in for a major treat! Thank you one and all involved, and I hope we'll soon be hearing news of Season 2!!!

Invaders DVD Review 2008-08-01
Excellent collection and glad it's finally available! I watched the original TV series when I was a kid; haven't seen it for over 35 years. Although the props, scenery and technology are dated, the story lines are great and the episodes are still fun to watch if you're a Sci-Fi enthusiast. The picture clarity of these DVD's is crystal clear with great color. The re-mastering is very well done.

Let the good times roll ! ! ! ! 2008-07-28
This is one of my favorite TV shows of the 60's after 12 O'Clock High... The 1990's remake did not do it any justice even though Roy Thinnes made cameo appearances...Roy had an encounter of the third kind just 3 days before the shooting started back in '67 and it flipped his whole envisioning of what was fiction and what was a "real" possibility. This experience helped hime appear more convincing in his paranoial personification of David Vincent...too bad they cancelled it after just 2 seasons...by the way.... when is the second season going to be available....can't wait....
Excellent series 2008-07-26
I missed this when I was growing up, but I am glad I purchased this set. They sure do not make shows like this anymore that do not need to rely on overdone special effects. The acting is superb. I hightly recommend this show to SciFi fans.
