Sep 21, 2008 - It amazes me that back then with shoe string budgets and hokey sets that they STILL managed to pull off some of the best stories ever made. Shows like "The Outer Limits", "Twilight Zone" "Star Trek (TOS)" are rare gems, and todays directors with their fancy computer generated eye candy PALE in comparison when it comes to pure storyline... BTW Harlan Ellison's "Soldier" is credited by James Cameron as the inspiration for "Terminator".

They truly were the outer limits and the moral scripts were in many shows in the 60s it might have had an effect on our subconscience nothing like it today, suspense like Hitchcock just the best!!!

Dec 23, 2008 - Which was the Outer Limits where every one was still and frozen.What was the episode called?

Beamshipcaptain Says:

Dec 25, 2008 - That was a 2nd season time-travel episode called PREMONITION. Not one of the best episodes.

Feb 21, 2009 - Demon with A Glass Hand was an amazing episode. Action packed throughout and a great storyline.

Feb 24, 2009 - hey, does anyone know of an episode of OL (or it may have been a movie) about an alien that had long claws and would poke out cows eyeballs and was afraid of light? that scared the poo outta me when i was seven!

Mar 19, 2009 - Damn good show or at least to me it is! Also I feel it gets better with time. It has a dark, creepy gothic mood to it along with the scifi/horror elements. A classic show in my book.

May 1, 2009 - same here it is a shame that scifi shows now a days don't have good story lines what a shame!

Misterioso Says:

May 3, 2009 - The summer of 1997 will be remembered fondly thanks to TNT acquiring the cable rights that year to not only the original "Outer Limits" but the new "Twilight Zone". I was in my early teens at the time and watching anthology series was one of my main hobbies, I remember HBO had just canceled "Tales from the Crypt" and replaced it with "Perversions of Science" and Showtime was two seasons into the new "Outer Limits". Good times, great memories.

Jun 28, 2009 - Leslie Stevens was a visionary, just like Gene Roddenbury; and both men were let down by the networks they worked for. Too bad; we'll never know what more they would have created!

Shawnster65 Says:

Jul 8, 2009 - Networks are all the same-all about money. The studio heads thought they'd cash in on the B-movie mentality with the monsters (the monster is the bad guy and the Earth will conquer them.) In reality, the creatures were intelligent, thinking beings coming to warn us that mankind is, and always will be, the new kid on the block. And in doing so, the OL will always be the "thinking man's" sci-fi show, and the greatest contribution to serious sci-fi.

Aug 1, 2009 - Ellison won his lawsuit he gets his name on the credits and a piece of the terminator for plagarising the soldier outer limits episode [ they should have known better he won a hugo award ] .

chomsky88 Says:

Aug 8, 2009 - I've got the first season on DVD and the creepiness of the series had nothing to do with the monsters(who look horribly fake by today's standards)--it still gets under your skin with odd camera angles, wide angle lenses, fantastic black and white cinematography, literate scripts and great acting. There are a few duds in the mix, but considering they used to do 36 52 minute episodes a year(less advertising in those days) the output was rather phenomenal.

freestuffffff Says:

Aug 9, 2009 - Man, this is such self-congratulatory hype. The special effects were always laughable. the acting horribly over-the-top, the stories tedious, the music repetitive and cliche. Overwrought kitsch all in all. Couldn't hold a candle to the far superior "Twilight Zone," where many of the same actors were allowed to shine.

shorts818 Says:

Aug 10, 2009 - Outer Limits is cool. Although it's funny how they'd include a monster whether it belonged in a story or not.

twixcookie Says:

Aug 22, 2009 - Good science fiction always had to fight to find its place. Most people didn't like shows like this, which amazed me. They would have rather watched Bewitched or other mindless dribble.

jimwalsh2001 Says:

Aug 30, 2009 - They got Harlan Ellison...cool!

Sep 19, 2009 - TNT actually began airing the original "Outer Limits" in August 1991. The series only aired four or five times per year as part of the Saturday night monster vision marathons. Nine episodes would be shown in nine hours (Saturday, 8pm - Sunday 6am). I know this because it's how I first discovered the show and would stay up all night recording the episodes. It used to be very painful having to wait months for the next TNT marathon. Now we have DVD players! Thank goodness. ;)

Misterioso Says:

Sep 19, 2009 - I was unaware of this, I wish I knew at the time; who would have thought in 1991 that we would be able to own this series through the DVD medium?

Oct 31, 2009 - OUTERLIMITS ME TOO

Eddiesix Says:

Nov 3, 2009 - The Outer Limits was thirty years ahead of it's time...you don't seen quality stories and scripts like this now... Long live The Outer Limits!!

hulaqte Says:

Nov 5, 2009 - i wished they have the "One Step Beyond" on DVD

Hypsan Says:

Nov 17, 2009 - One Step Beyond is readily available on DVD. Has been for a couple of years now. Inexpensive too! I own a couple different releases of it. Check out Amazon.
