War of the Worlds is a Canadian/American science-fiction television series that aired for two seasons, from October10, 1988 to May14, 1990. The series is an expansion of the original 1953 film The War of the Worlds, employing the same War Machine and frequently incorporates elements from the film, radio adaptation, and original novel into its mythos. Though the original film's producer, George Pal, dreamt of a TV series based on the same picture somewhere in the 1970s, it wasn't until the late 1980s that a series was ultimately achieved, this time by television producer Greg Strangis. The show was part of the era's surge in first-run syndicated television series. It was later aired on the Sci Fi Channel in reruns. The show was shot in Los Angeles and Toronto, Ontario.
