Summary
Architect David Vincent (Roy Thinnes), lost on a back road late one night, pulls into a closed diner to sleep and wakes to see a spacecraft landing in a nearby field. The beings aboard have come from a dying world and already move through the population in human form, betrayed only by a stiff, malformed finger on one hand and by the way their bodies glow and disintegrate at death, leaving no proof behind. Vincent spends each week trying to convince disbelieving officials, scientists and strangers of what is happening while the invaders work to discredit, isolate or kill him. Quinn Martin produced this two-season ABC science-fiction series, created by Larry Cohen and built around Vincent's solitary, largely unsupported campaign.

Only 47 of its IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 48 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 1 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. The cohort it is ranked inside is 1960s television series — 154 of them.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where The Invaders lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against TV Series · 1960s (154 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 47.
