Shows like this one had a unique pattern to their openings that set them apart from the rest of TV.

This show tried really hard.

I hated those ugly ass aliens.

When everyone thought Roddenberry's shit didn't stink.

And by "Created by Gene Roddenberry," we mean "based off a random sentence fragment Gene wrote on the back of a bar napkin one night which was later discovered by his wife after he'd been dead for years and she was looking for new ideas of his to sell for a quick buck."

Alternate tagline: "From the man who brought you Wesley Crusher and Space Abe Lincoln!"

What the fuck was this show about? I remember watching a couple episodes and I couldn't figure it out at all. Aliens contact humanity, but they obviously have some weird, ulterior motive, yet a bunch of humans willingly help the aliens with their weird shit so long as there are vague, mustache-twirling promises that the aliens are SWEAR TO GOD not up to anything weird.

It greatly confused me.

I liked this show precisely for the reasons outlined by StanleyPain. As a 13 year old who never seen Alien Nation or V, the first few episodes it had this pretty cool sense of mystery and paranoia. The aliens had some mystical hippie ideas but they were more-or-less amoral about humanity and fuck you this show was great.

I watched this a few times. The one thing I remember was that all the aliens had names with apostrophes in them, and their merchandise selling website was called the st'or.

V has the same premise as this, except it has lizards instead of these bald headed hos.
