Loved this series and others like it, they were great then and it's just fabulous to get to revisit them here. Hey, watch who you calling old! I'm 56 this year and I ride horses every day, motorbike on weekends, very active in many sports and skills and I feel like now, right now is the best time of my life. To many younger people I'm ancient at 56 I guess but as far as I'm concerned I'm still fit and healthy and I still turn heads. Admittedly ~ it's generally an older head that turns nowadays tho 😂
I never had but two channels in 1970's lived in the country. Resentily I discover "Circle of Fear", and "Ghost Story." Never knew they existed. I so am loving these TV shows. The music, clothes, hairstyles takes be back.
The bridge where David Birney's and Lynne Marta's characters are having a discussion is the old Center Street Bridge in the little town of Piru in Ventura County in Southern California. It's still stands but is no longer in use.
Thank you for these shows. I'm 57 But when these came out. We only could recieve 3 channels. So now For the 1st time I can see them and I LOVE THESE SHOWS.
My favorite episode of this anthology series. There's nothing like a good alien invasion story. This was one of the creations that set the concept of Quinn Martin's THE INVADERS back into motion again.
The music to shows like this (and including this was) was fantastic. They really employed professionals. The composers and performers were as good as it gets. It's another example of how much things have gone to shit (in American pop culture) since the '70s.
InsertName125 Yes, your right. They orchestrated the theme all the way through the show instead of just a catchy intro and prerecorded generic segments to be used on every show. Very professional and more like a full length feature film. Also costly I’m sure paying an orchestra and composer on union wages in studio. I can sadly understand how that would be one of the first changes to be made for lowering the production budget of weekly programs in general. I’m kind of surprised anyone even noticed or bothered to comment on that. You’re showing your age. Take care.
FANTASTIC !!!! I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS GREAT EPISODE SINCE IT WAS FIRST BROADCAST BACK IN 1977. AT THAT TIME I WAS A COLLEGE SOPHOMORE AND WHILE ALMOST EVERYONE ELSE IN MY DORM WAS OBSESSED WITH "CHARLIES ANGELS" ON ABC-TV ME AND A FEW OTHERS WERE WATCHING "QUINN MARTIN'S TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED" EVERY WEEK ! IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE FOR ROY THINNES TO REPRISE HIS ROLE FROM HIS TV SERIES, QUINN MARTIN'S "THE INVADERS" IN THIS ONE, BUT HE HAD ALREADY STARRED IN THE FIRST EPISODE OF "TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED" A FEW WEEKS AGO. "THE NOMADS" IS A GOOD REMAKE OF "THE INVADERS" FIRST EPISODE (BEACH HEAD). THANK YOU Michael Harris FOR POSTING THIS RARE GEM !!!! THANK YOU YOU/TUBE !!!!
I LOVE '70s TV. Now, all I need is a thick germy shag rug to lay down in, and my parents back. Sometimes, the forward motion of time, really sucks - especially when things seem to DE-evolve with time.
Punk kids, not even 200 years old yet, still wet behind the ears. Never ate one of the Caesars in Rome, Never ate one of the royalty of a noble spanish family in the middle ages, just young whippersnappers. Have to admit I don't look a day over. 52 , that was the age I was, yes No wonder I haven't aged in all these Century's.
I've been looking for this since 1976!!!! And finally I found it! I remember this cause it freakin traumatized me as a 4 year old. I saw the episode with some dogs and the intro just got to me! Even years and years after the the thought of seeing the intro freaked me out. And NOW? LOOOL! Thanks for this!
@@Tracy-ej5rp No, I couldn't find the full chapter. This was just a small snippet on the Spanish channel where it was broadcast years ago. If you find it please upload it or send the link. Thank you.
@Olivia Bordley More like a TV show from 1977. As to the original poster's "how life was back then," the majority of the individuals we see are aliens, or humans altered by the alien beings. So, it's hardly a good gauge of what life was like "last century."
I think this may have been a back door pilot for an updated version of The Invaders. Two years after this episode, QM produced an NBC movie called The Aliens Are Coming... which was another attempt at reviving The Invaders.
Nothing like the British series I've watched in reruns, but I used to watch this late. Way too young to be watching now that I recall😂 Thanks for the uploads
@Maureen Longthorne ....Tu Bailey appears in her thumbnail as a beautiful young woman! She looks absolutely nothing like a ''he''! It seemed obvious to me that she was talking about a British version of ''Tales of the Unexpected''! Why bring up a totally different series and not said so? Just saying....
This is a remake or retread of the pilot episode for The Invaders (1967-68). That series was also made by Quinn Martin. This story is very similar to "Beachhead" in which David Vincent encountered a flying saucer landing and then went on to fight the insidious invaders who looked just like us. They have changed the plot slightly, and the nature of the aliens, but it is quite obvious where this story comes from. Check out The Invaders first episode after watching this and compare them :¬)
Yes, this is a remake of "Beachhead", the premiere episode of THE INVADERS. Quinn Martin used elements from his earlier creation to form a good alien invasion story that he could add to his anthology series here. Quinn Martin also produced THE ALIENS ARE COMING, which was a movie that had some similarities to THE INVADERS. The 1960s television series was also continued in a 1990s mini-series that was also entitled THE INVADERS.
Yes but here was another UFO series about a Airforce officer and lawyer who investigated sighting called like Beyond The Unexpected. It lasted for two season and was suddenly cut.
I was a kid in the 80s (born '75). The Invaders used to both scare the shit out of me and also drain the life out of me If I ever tried to watch a whole episode. I get what Quinn Martin was trying to do, but none of his stuff, with its 60s stylistic flourishes, ever really landed for me, when syndicated in the 1980s. That's what one generation does.
By the way,Thank you for posting this short lived NBC series,which from the looks of it,is an original NBC broadcast,making this,exceptionally RARE,and very appreciated! thank you,again! 1977 was an interesting year on Primetime,especially with ABC-TV's Emmy winning mini-series "ROOTS",and short lived shows,like this,and "THE FANTASTIC JOURNEY",and the pilots to "QUARK" and "MAN FROM ATLANTIS"-and i may add,that this was a year before the debut of "PROJECT UFO",which was also a great TV series!
I watched TV during the 1960's and 1970's, and liked a lot of Quinn Martin shows, but I don't recall Tales of the Unexpected at all, and I always enjoyed scary shows and movies at any age...so it's weird I never watched this.If I had watched it, I'd have remembered it. LOL.
...Love those Charlie's Angels like graphics, and ABC Movie of the Week type mirror special effects in the opening title sequence. The opening theme is cool too.
Cannon was an original Quinn Martin show produced and made for CBS-TV. Other shows included Barnaby Jones, this short-lived version of "Tales" was produced for NBC-TV.
This was one of the very few Sci-Fi/Horror/Fantasy anthologies that I *really* liked. (That theme music is quite the ear-worm -- it bores into your very soul like some sort of demonic being...)
Is there ANY way to upload all eight episodes? I remember watching as a young'un "The Final Chapter" where the journalist wants to get the "real" feel for what a prisoner's life must be like on death row and the warden & others take it too far, strap him into the chair and he's literally scared to death before 'the joke is over'. I've been searching for that one FOREVER.
Ohhh, what a jewel! Please, can you find and upload the episode "The Masks of Adonis", with Robert Fox? I´m in Hungary and it´s IMPOSSIBLE to get here...
I'm french and this programm was broadcast at the end of the 70' but only a few episods. At that time I was very young but so many years after I remember the title theme. I don't have the souvenir of this story but the one with Ricky Nelson in in my mind. Of course I watched it with the french dubbing, too young to understand a single word of english. Thank you for this sharing Michael.
Posting while I'm watching. I'm waiting with baited breath to see if his wife meets the same fate as his architect partner... Anyway, thanks for the upload :D I love anything and everything Quinn Martin, but we're limited over here in the UK in terms of what was released on DVD (2 Seasons of SOSF, both seasons of The Invaders, 1st season only of The Fugitive [yeah I know there was all the music etc issues but I'd have lived with that rather than have nothing], 3 seasons of The Untouchables...
My sci-fi nostalgia thanks you. Also, regular people see bizarre things all the time. I’ve had my share in over sixty years. Life is peculiar and I no longer doubt that just about anything is possible. There’s a definite woo factor of high strangeness. You may wish you would see something very strange, then what do you do with that? It’s more of a problem than you may realize. Hope for a normal boring life, you’ll be better off.
Quinn Martin's 'The Invaders' was made 10 years before this. This programme is very much like 'Beach Head' Season 1 Episode 1 aired in 1967. A bit of lazy recycling of material if you ask me...
Beth Faulkner....''Stop with that old stuff.'' Like this story? But, why?? Perhaps you should go to another channel if this is so painful to bear watching because it is older!!
That was excellent, it was like an episode of the Invaders to begin with. James Best was a good surprise actor choice just before he gained popularity in the Dukes of Hazzard.
Much better than the english namesake series that followed from 1979. Unfortunately only 8 episodes were produced by the talented and renowned Quinn Martin, but it's a real pleasure to see great names such as Lloyd Bridges, Bill Bixby or Roy Thinnes in this short-lived quality show !
@@gerrydooley951 I have been looking for it too and have never found it in special The Final Chapter. If you ever find it please let me know. Thank you.
Awesome. Never seen this before (from UK). Instantly recognisable plot points from the Invaders pilot with the fire and checked into the hospital under assumed name, even the sound of the craft at the start is lifted straight from the pilot. Don't like shoe horned air force believer though, takes away impact of lone man fighting the impossible odds, just like it did in Season 2 of the Invaders, in Season 2 they had a whole series of episodes to get that to work, tough to do that in 50 mins
Anybody who has any full episodes- if you can upload them on thepiratebay, or any free torrent site for the matter- that would be immensely helpful thanks in advance
Isn't that something you share with friends and relatives on Facebook and NOT on RUclips? WHY even bother posting such a meaningless comment about the episode most everyone else is commenting on?
I used to watch this every week. Didn't last long, though. Seems like it came on at 9pm Thursdays on Channel 5 in DFW. The only episode I really remember is the very last one with Bill Bixby.
Michael Harris I'm EXTREMELY interested in getting this one ("No Way Out" with Bill Bixby) and would be willing to pay you something to get a copy of it, as well, maybe on DVD. Though if you do post it here, I have a utility that will create an FLV from youtube and then I can create a DVD with another utility from there. I pretty much don't care which media type it's in, in the beginning. As long as I can get some output easily watchable. Let me know about the "No Way Out" ep please! Let me know what I can do for you, as well, in exchange. Thx, SRE
That might have been at NBC's insistence; all the other QM shows prior had been on ABC and CBS, who seemed to support Quinn Martin Production's main title philosophy. Or, it might have been a creative decision by Mr. Martin and/or his people. What is a change, and not a good one, is the guest stars' names accompanied by an image of them in the episode. THAT is missing. There were many guest stars here, not household names, with the possible exception of David Birney. No negativity intended, but I would not be surprised if lots of viewers wondered, "Which of the ladies is Katherine Justice and which of the ladies is Lynn Marta?"
@@scvandy3129 If I wasn't such a fan of Barnaby Jones, I might not know the difference. They were both in episodes of Barnaby Jones & Cannon, both Quinn Martin productions.
Christopher George is really very awesome. he has came in the most legendary, scariest thrilling spookiest the most weirdest and the most creepiest shows of all times.
Oooh the 70s....how we all miss them...and how lucky we were to be teenagers then...all the best from uk.
In 1977 I was 18 years old and on my own. I didn't have a tv set in my rented room, and at 62 I'm getting caught up. Thank you for the upload. 🌹

David Birney's character is driving a 1976 Ford Elite.
David Birney's character drove a taxi in another TV series Bridget Loves Birney.
They must have not had a budget for vehicles. No way are Air Force and local sheriff going to travel together in one car.
David Birney drove Meredith Baxter to women.
Kinda reminds me of a movie version of the 1960's series The Invaders.

I don't think these were aired in Australia in the 70's. This one was very good, I look forward to the other episodes; thanks for the post.
Is there anyway to find the full series? This was one of the best Horror/Fantasy anthology series of that era.
The invaders ran two years and enjoyed 92% popularity 1967-68 luved it too
Bonkers!!
24:56 reminds me of boystown Nebraska, circa 1980.the Franklin cover up.
I seen this when I was sitting in my beanbag chair eating jiffy pop popcorn. 🍿
I used to watch this every week. Didn't last long, though. Seems like it came on at 9pm Thursdays on Channel 5 in DFW. The only episode I really remember is the very last one with Bill Bixby.
I have the episode with Bill Bixby in my collection of old tv obscurities. It is a good episode. I will get it posted on here as soon as I can.
Michael Harris
What about the ep. called Devil Pack? any chance of posting it?
Michael Harris I'm EXTREMELY interested in getting this one ("No Way Out" with Bill Bixby) and would be willing to pay you something to get a copy of it, as well, maybe on DVD. Though if you do post it here, I have a utility that will create an FLV from youtube and then I can create a DVD with another utility from there. I pretty much don't care which media type it's in, in the beginning. As long as I can get some output easily watchable. Let me know about the "No Way Out" ep please! Let me know what I can do for you, as well, in exchange. Thx, SRE
U no it's on here now. just watched it.
Thanks!!
Where'd the flashlight go??
It's strange to see a QM production without a narrator reading the opening credits.
Right!?!?😂
That might have been at NBC's insistence; all the other QM shows prior had been on ABC and CBS, who seemed to support Quinn Martin Production's main title philosophy. Or, it might have been a creative decision by Mr. Martin and/or his people.
What is a change, and not a good one, is the guest stars' names accompanied by an image of them in the episode. THAT is missing. There were many guest stars here, not household names, with the possible exception of David Birney. No negativity intended, but I would not be surprised if lots of viewers wondered, "Which of the ladies is Katherine Justice and which of the ladies is Lynn Marta?"
@@scvandy3129 If I wasn't such a fan of Barnaby Jones, I might not know the difference. They were both in episodes of Barnaby Jones & Cannon, both Quinn Martin productions.

William conrad
did the narration
Not the usual guy
Would be nice if you could put what episode this is, i want to start watching from the beginning, but have no clue what ep this is.
Not to be confused with the British TV series with the same name.
What about The mask of Adonis, is it possible to get that episode? I remember having seen it althouhg obviously i cannot remember the plot very well.
Christopher George is really very awesome. he has came in the most legendary, scariest thrilling spookiest the most weirdest and the most creepiest shows of all times.
Yes, Christopher George has. But THIS actor is David Birney.
Strange; I doubt too many audience members mix up George for Birney and vice versa.
I don’t think anybody would repay violence with violence I’m sorry.
