Page "The Invaders" Paragraph 4

The series was produced by Quinn Martin, who was looking for a show to replace the immensely popular The Fugitive, which was ending its run in 1967.

Larry Cohen, the show's creator, had conceived two earlier series with similarities to The Invaders.

Chuck Connors starred in Branded ( 1965 ) as a soldier court-martialed for cowardice, who traveled the West searching for witnesses and proof that he had acted valiantly, and Coronet Blue ( 1967 ) about Michael Alden, a man suffering from amnesia who was being pursued by a powerful group of people.

All he could remember were the words " Coronet Blue ".
