Sam Wrote:Sounds like a cool show but I'm pretty sure I've never seen it. I remember Roy playing an alien in an X-Files episode.
For some odd reason, which is normal for my brain, another show popped into my head while I read your post - The Greatest American Hero. I loved that show but can barely remember it.
Ah, Sam, THE INVADERS was a show-and -a-half. The aliens could take human form, but their pinkies couldn't bend. (I believe that's where the band Stiff Little Fingers got their name.) And when you killed one, they'd burn up. There was a great episode where David Vincent--reviled as a crackpot--shoots one in public in a small town. The sheriff and his boys shout, "Freeze!"
Of course, Vincent takes care of business. The look on the lawmens' faces as they watch the invader sparkle and disintergrate was priceless. As was the look on David Vincent's face: "Crazy, am I? You believe me =now=?" Then there was the show in which Vincent captured one of their saucers... Ah, where's the like today? I remember watching THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO when I lived in Brockport. Was it the late 70s? The theme song was corny/good. There was a great scene in which the Hero is being shot. Of course, bullets couldn't hurt him, but he didn't really believe it. He did what any sensible guy would do--raise his arms up to protect his eyes! :p
