One of the things I've found most enjoyable about watching the old 60's dramas and sitcoms is the plethora of familiar faces that made the rounds back then. One week you see a star on Bewitched, the next he/she is on The Invaders. A couple years back it might have been Bonanza or perhaps Leave it to Beaver as a youngster. As much as seeing the show and it's cast, I love seeing those interchangeable guest stars.

Solid actors who you'll see on SEINFELD, then LAW & ORDER, then HOUSE, then... Great holiday, -Craig W.

Haven't seen this show since I was a teen, but have fond memories of it. Glad to see it's finally coming out and treated respectfully by Paramount (hero to fans of vintage TV-on-DVD). Transfers look good, too.

Menus have music...they retained the "Next...the Invaders In Color" intros.....Roy Thinnes interview is a lot of fun. The extended pilot has a couple of scenes NEVER SEEN BEFORE! It's a very clear transfer also....for those who have seen the Canadian TV bootleg version of the extended pilot. I read that the "regular" version of BEACH HEAD on disc one is time compressed to 49 minutes resulting in audible pitch shifted voices but I haven't watched it yet. Apparently all the remaining episodes are normal....51/52 minutes in length. There are also 3 ABC promos for the series. The picture and sound quality of the shows I've skimmed thru is great.

In fact, he reminds me somewhat of David Vincent, for some reason! Also, his wire-rimmed glasses and bow tie give him an amusing professorial air. He did make one blooper, though, in one of his episode introductions. He said Burgess Meredith played the Joker on BATMAN. Well, very obviously, everyone knows that Meredith was the Catwoman and... uh... wait a minute...

I could pick apart problems with continuity, but there's something about the overall impact that impresses me enough to make me overlook the flaws. One question occurs to me: Was there ever another series that had such a high mortality rate for its guest stars? (Maybe COMBAT?) I mean, not to give too much away, but they were knocking guest stars off left and right. Read my DVD review here: http://cinefantastiqueonline.com/2008/05/31/dvd-review-the-invaders-the-first-season/ It doesn't get into technical stuff as much as the DVD Beaver review, but otherwise provides more detail.
