- "In 1953, Earth experienced a War of the Worlds. Common bacteria stopped the aliens, but it didn't kill them. Instead, the aliens lapsed into a state of deep hibernation. Now the aliens have been resurrected, more terrifying than before. In 1953, the aliens started taking over the world; today, they're taking over our bodies!"
- ―Harrison Blackwood
The first season of War of the Worlds premiered on October 7, 1988 and ended on May 15, 1989.
