This is the Tobe Hooper directed pilot episode that established the show's X-FILES-in-the-Sixties premise. Although it had oodles of flaws, I think this was by far the best of the glut of wannabe shows that bubbled to the surface in the wake of Mulder and Scully and had the potential to having something interesting to say over several seasons. Unfortunately, viewer perceptions that it was simply a knock-off kept audiences low and ended the run after a single season.
A second VHS tape followed with episodes two and three.
TRIVIA: Sony didn't want the show to impinge on the potential big screen success of the impending MEN IN BLACK. So they demanded that none of the government operatives wear black suits.
