That opening scared the crap out of me every week as a little guy in the 60's

The first episode with Cliff Robertson has always been my favorite one.

I remember seeing the episode" it came out of the woodwork" in 1972, when I was 12 years old and it scared the crap out of me, so much that I still remember it now...

What used to scare me to death was anything related to vampires on TV. I didn't get a chance to see Outer Limits until I was older.

I remember watching the Outer Limits in the 60's when I was a kid in England. I was terrified at the opening titles because I thought someone had actually taken over the tv channel ! BBC2 I think it was.

6th finger and OBIT are great fun!!

Best Sci-FI Anthology ever. The first season was clearly the superior one.

You're right. Sources say producer Ben Brady, brought in to replace Joseph Stefano, made it clear to the ABC that he hated science fiction and made drastic changes to the production. And it showed.

Trivia: Helmet worn in "Soldier" was also worn by Robin Williams in Mork & Mindy.

the episode where scientist try to find a rich mans dead son in another dimension was a favorite of mine

One thing you missed was if you look at the ADAM the robot he's got two strips of siver duct tape they used to hold the tow halves of his suit together . You can see it in the scene here where he falls & the car runs backwards . Still my favorite TV show as a kid in the 60s. One reason it was as good as it was is they always used the best writers around which gave the stories meaning & a moral.

Timing is everything! This just dropped as I was looking for something to watch! Awesome! These are so good! Love this dudes accent! Oh and his attention to detail is out of this world! 🤣😂

That is a bummer. It seems like moms were always throwing away cool stuff that would one day be highly collectible.😀

The creatures were sometimes cheesy, however, the black and white film, the story lines, and the music were usually so powerful that I for one could see past the silly creatures in some episodes. Other episodes, I thought they did a great job with the creature effects for the time. I remember as a kid watching these reruns, always getting creeped out, yet always coming back for more.

Oh man, I was in first grade when this series first aired. I watched it faithfully and then related the story I had just seen to my teacher (who was horrified that my parents allowed me to watch sci fi). The Monday, November 18, 1963 (Corpus Earthling) aired just a few days befoer JFK was shot in Dallas. The series was temporarily suspended the following week fresh on the heels of the assassination, and did not return until December.

Absolutely love this show loved the creatures they had in the show love me some sci fi shows and goofs

I bought the whole series of The Twilight Zone on DVD and what a great purchase. Then I bought The Outer Limits, uh, yeah. I watched all of them and I was stunned they were so - not very good. So many people said if you like TZ you will like TOL, but no not really. There were a few that were ok, but that's it. You showed most of the best here. Now, the 90s version was way better and I loved all those that I got to see, which is about 20 or so. The big surprise to me was Tales from The Crypt. I got that whole show on DVD and it turned out to be a gruesome and often funny (dark funny) version of the Twilight Zone. Gross yes, but really good twist endings and solid stories. Maybe that show will get reviewed here some time.

Mr. I Dream Of Jeannie. I just watched and Interview with Barbara Eden (92 years old and still the same old adorable woman), and it was from a few weeks ago and she was so hard on herself for the break up in her marriage to Michael Ansara. She really showed how much she loved him and regretted that it went sour like it did. As a fan of both her and him, and a true romantic it was nice to see her love was real even her ability to keep it together fell short.

I've always liked his appearance on the Rifleman as the Indian Lawman. I think he had his own series as that character I would like to get on DVD.

I would watch reruns of the Outer Limit reruns when when was 8 or 9 on Saturday afternoons on a UHF station and some of the episodes scared the hell out of me! Especially the big eyeballs guy!

As a Kid growing up in the 60s and watching the original outer limits it used to scare the crap out of me, my brother used to scare me every time we would watch the outer limits, my mother wouldn't let me watch it anymore even if it was in the day time, now that I'm in my older years it doesn't scare me anymore, I'll be 67 this year. 😵😎😝🙃 My favorite one was when the alien came from a fourth dimension, even with my brother not scaring me is still scared s***of me 😬🤪

I was looking at the stunt mans big white pants harness over his dark trousers. The other guy with the headphones on was also smirking at the alien voice, and was that the actor who played Ted Striker in airplane with Mr Nimoy. Great video thanks watching from the UK hence why i said pants meaning underwear

The Outer Limits was on when I was very young, but it was on after my bedtime so I didn't see it first run. (Whaddaya want, I was born in 1960!) But I have watched a nunber of the original episodes since. I've never seen a single episode from the remake.

I don't have a favorite Outer Limits show, they were all so good.

I watched this show with my grandpa during the pandemic. He told me to use my imagination more and remember that this was the best show for him when he was young. I have to admit Corpus Earthling and Cry of Silence scared the heck out of me! My favorite episodes were The Guests and Demon with a glass hand,Keeper of the purple twilight and Architects of fear had a very sad ending. It would be cool if they re did all these episodes but keep the stories the same and upgrade the special effects.

I Love The Outer Limits.Mostly really good stories,and creative monsters for the day.I enjoy the 90s Outer Limits too. I think Soldier is my Fav,or I,Robot..Hard to chose a favorite.

None of these goofs mattered. The show was great! One of the best.

I'm convinced Dreamworks took Inspiration from Edward because of how eerily similar to Megamind.

I really enjoy your videos. Thank you.

I recently watched the entire original series as I had only caught certain episodes re-run on TV over the years. There are some diamonds in the rough (the Harlan Ellison episodes, a few others), but overall it's a lot of B-movie stuff of very little substance. I know some people like that, and it's fine, but the original Twilight Zone ranks a bit higher for me. Although TZ has its stinkers too; most anthology series do. I'm working through the 90s The Outer Limits series now, wish me luck.

If you view these series as a visual pulp fiction novel it's more "oh, I get it!". They were an easy, quick, cheap fix to scratch your sci-fi itch just like the novels were. Not a lot of depth, just good fun.

The Zanti misfits scared the crap😂out of me! The other one that scared me was the one with Donald Pleasent and the cloud storm thing when he'd get Angry 😮!

The ratchet cable is a classic stunt bit even to today. It's used on Kung fu movies and the Buffy show to show off Slayer and Vampire strength in tossing each other around.

The Outer Limits was on such a tight schedule and strict budget, they could only film each scene one time. There were no multi takes, so glitches and anomalies like this would be frequent.

The were two actors that popped up uncredited in a good number of episodes. I could never find out their names, so I just call them The Guy and The Other Guy.

The Outer Limits episode Soldier writer Harlan Ellison brought a lawsuit against the producers and distributors of the movie The Terminator for plagiarism.They settled for an undisclosed amount of money and acknowledgement of Ellison's works in the credits of The Terminator.

One I never watched unfortunately have to say. But awesome video as always bud 😀

This was a much "darker" more sci fi version of Twiligh Zone

I was watching the Outer limits one Saturday afternoon on TV back in the 1960's when I was 9 years old, My mother was carrying a load of laundry walking past the living room at the time of the opening scene with the control voice saying "This is not a test" as the screen had the scrambled signal going back and forth, I heard a noise behind me as my mother dropped the hamper full of laundry on the floor and asked in a panicked voice What is that? I said I don't know just to see her reaction, She was staring at the TV for several seconds with jaw open and bug eyes then realized it was just a TV show and said laughing, you knew what that was, it's that weird show you always watch The outer goonies or whatever its called, Back then it was during the height of the cold war and adults were worried about the Russians launching missiles at any minute and that opening looked like a government warning

I really don't remember the ( outer limits). I love your hard work, facts and humor!

The ‘Twilight Zone’ told better stories, but the ‘Outer Limit’ was the show that had all of the best Monsters, Aliens and Freaks…A lot of sleepless nights as a kid in the 70s watching an ‘OL’ rerun…

Uh, relative to your comment about Soldier, you’re not seeing more of the frame than originally shot. It’s been stretched and otherwise adjusted to fit today’s new screen dimensions, and the Blu-ray quality produced from the original masters provides greater resolution, sharpness and clarity to the image than 1960s tech could produce for broadcast purposes. The stage hand on the prop was there all along. We just could not see it well enough to know what it was, much less even notice it in the first place.

great tv series saw this on tnt's monstervision i was 7 in 1991 saw more episodes on line in 2011 on a bootlegged website

Enjoy embracing the suspension of disbelief.

In I,Robot you can see the tape that holds the body together.

I will not listen to anything bad said about "The Zanti Misfits". ;-) The Zanti, and the guy's head on the jack-in-the-box at the end of "It's A Good Life" (correct title?) in the Twilight Zone/Bill Mumy episode still creep the hell out of me. I'm spooked just thinking about them.
