This may seem weird but I need some help. I was born in 85' so when I watched this show I was EXTRMELY YOUNG. My parents would watch it, and I was in the room, and I guess they thought I was sleeping, but I remmeber catching parts of it. Is this the show, where the was a small girl (blode hair?), and I guess the aliens were kept in barrels and there was a tpye of ozze inside? Soemthing to this effect anyways.

For some reason I started thinking about this show. I asked my parents, but they can't remember, so I did a search, found this, and it seems about right. I just want to know. Thanx is advance.

Yes, that would seem like the pilot episode. You can buy season 1 on Playusa or Amazon.

definately this show. barrels of tar like material and those three fingered hand always poping out of it. :)

I have another question of mine. This is about another show. It also had some tripod kind of machines and these three or four friends are funning away from it. and then i remember that there was some kind of big city where these some machines rule or something like that. I cant remember seeing any alien but there were definately tripod kind of big big machines. I cant remember but they could be 4 legged too. but definately they looked like the one in war of the worlds.

This was an early 80's or maybe even late 70's. please give some idea.

was there a war of the worlds show before 88 show ?

I think the show you are thinking of is called 'Tripods'.
