OK so this is not what real life is like, guess what I have never been chased by aliens whom have come to invade earth but I love War of the Worlds and The Day the Earth Stood still. Watching this series makes you feel good, it brings back fond memories of TV family and when things were just simpler. Great viewing for the whole family, even better for those of us whom saw it when it first viewed, it will put a spring back into your step and a smile on your face.
