Man I just saw the first episode of the miniseries and remember watching that whenI was a kid. I loved that show. The visitors kinda remind me of the Democratic party of today. Promising us a utopia. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5tUsB5UmjI&feature=related

I remember watching it and enjoying the show when I was young, but I somehow have a suspicion it would not be so good to watch now. But yeah, the Visitors are running the DNC. I wonder if you tugged hard on Obama's head if you would pull it off and reveal a lizard?

I loved that show. I remember bringing toy guns to school and playing V at recess.

I remember watching that show and just having really unsettling feeling in my gut as a kid.

I still have not gotten over my suspiscion of people who are wearing red jump suits with large sunglasses.

Kinda campy, but fun to watch.

Didn't Freddy Krueger play the friendly, nerdy visitor?

Don't forget the inimitable Michael Ironside ... he was probably the ARFCOMmer before there was ARF!

Yes, he did. Robert Englund is his name.

Quite a difference in roles.

Best line out of the V series: "You sure don't look like a lizard."

If you saw it, you'll remember it.

Actually, despite all the hardass, gun toting characters he has played, he is very much anti-gun.

Yes he was.

BTW I have the series on DVD. The TV show wasn't as good as the mini series.

Didn't know that. I guess he and Stallone are one and the same.

I was totally hooked on that show - but it has been a long time since I have seen it.
