Agreed, it's one of the classics that inspired the popularity of our little genre along with Kolchak a little later. I saw the 90s miniseries that was going to bring back The Invaders to a modern audience...it was more in the modern style, X-Files-ish if you like, but that's probably why the series wasn't brought back fully. A very nice moment in there where Roy Thinnes from the original series hands over his big book of evidence to Scott Bakula, who was clearly going to be the protagonist of the new version. However, he was offered the command of the Enterprise instead
