Did anyone have lizard theories before the TV series V?

Edit:

"Inspired by Sinclair Lewis anti-fascist novel It Can't Happen Here [V] was presented to NBC [...] but the NBC executives rejected the initial version, claiming it was too "cerebral" for the average American viewer. To make the script more marketable, the American fascists were re-cast as man-eating extraterrestrials"

Pity they thought the 'average American viewer' couldn't handle seeing Americans as fascists. I liked V, but having them as human would be far more interesting and (obviously) realistic.
