I can always remember watching "The Invaders' when I was a child in the 70's.And marvel at that time the TV graphics of how the alien beings were destroyed.
A good benchmark I feel for any TV series to stand the test of time relies on two main factors: 1-A plausable and continued story line that keeps the viewer coming back for more (in other words tuning in week after week to see the programme). 2- A first class actor that can immediately project his on screen charactor in such a way that he quickly gains the support of the viewer as the hero.
