I thought “Invasion” was among the best of the genre and it only lasted one season.

Even I lost interest in Invasion pretty quickly. The acting was pretty weak and the story didn’t hold up very well over the episodes. I still own the VHS and Laserdisc versions of the entire V collection (minus the TV series) and, to this day, I still find it fun to watch. I haven’t watched the new series yet, but the original one was more about “big brother” and communism than aliens. You think it was a coincidence that the aliens were wearing red? The cold war was still in full swing at the time, so the real fear was there in the public’s eye, but they instead focused on what the Nazi’s had done.
