I was not allowed to watch V when it was on back in the 80s. Too scary, according to my parents. I had totally forgotten that until just now.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

well, if it makes you feel better, my parents were fairly TV-restrictive. All my friends were able to watch V, just not me.

OMG, I LOVED V. (didn't really mean to asscap the whole thing, just the "loved" part) But, I loved that freakin' show. Remember when Diana unhinged her jaw to eat the rat? Good times.

The original V miniseries was awesome. It had echoes of Nazi Germany in the persecution of scientists and a very real sense of what it would be like to organize a resistance movement in the U.S. The second miniseries and the series had their moments, but they're also what gave me the conviction that "human-alien baby" equals "jumped the shark."

I liked the flicking lizard tongues.

yes, they even had the elderly neighbor who'd been in a concentration camp. He was the one who started the "V" symbol.

The only thing I really remember from V is that the rats were made of chocolate.

One of the actresses in an interview got asked about having to eat the rats and she said they were actually made of chocolate so it was fine. That's the detail that stuck with me.
