In 1983, the NBC network aired a scifi-thriller miniseries called "V", which I really enjoyed watching as a youngster.
The premise of the original show was about aliens calling themselves "Visitors", coming to Earth in the name of friendship and promising to help society progress, bringing great gifts of advanced technology and cures for medical diseases. They immediately form friendship associations, and even a youth movement, and soon even begin integrating themselves into governments around the world - all to better expedite the new era of progress, they claim. Some soon discover that the Visitors have a more secret, darker agenda.
Now the ABC network plans a re-imagining of this scifi classic, which it will begin airing in January:
Here is a clip which re-caps the original series:
And here is the intro for the old series, with its menacing theme:
