It was good for it's time but by today's standards it would be lame. I remember watching one episode with my little brother who was about five years old. It was about aliens to exiled their prisoners to Earth. The prisoners looked like spiders with human-like heads. It scared the heck out of my little brother and gave him nightmares.
