"War of the Worlds" [TV-Series 1988-1990] - Did anyone else watch this show?

I remember watching that show back in elementary school and thought it was awesome. It was on KCOP 13 in L.A. and it wasn't UPN then so it must have been a syndicated show.

It only ran 2 seasons and the first was much better than the second. After it went off the air I don't recall ever seeing any reruns, not even on Sci-Fi Channel years later.

To this date I haven't met a single person that has heard of this show so I guess it's no surprise that it didn't last long. I figured maybe here at least one other person would have seen it and remember it.

I saw the movie

 

[BooGiMaN]

i saw it...kinda cool but the plots i think wore thin

 

[JeffreyLebowski]

the 1st seaon was good, but the second season had almost a complete cast change and show restructuring if i remember right, and that is what killed it.

Now a show that most prob don't remember was Kindred.

I think you are right. It was almost another show in that second season.

Yea I watched that show when I was a kid. It seemed to have changed between seasons - at first, a lot of emphasis was put onto the aliens that jumped from body to boy like they were suits. But I remember in the later season, they were more just people that were possessed with alien intelligence I think, who were focused on finding ways to infect more humans with these spore things that would grow into more aliens.
