Quick-Favorite Outer Limits Episode
I do love The Twilight Zone but I also loved The Outer Limits.
The nuclear war one where they're in the safe valley. The little bug guys that were actually criminals sent to America to be executed because the aliens morally couldn't do it. It really was a cool show. Carl

Are we talking about the original show back in the sixties or seventies? Do not adjust your TV set etc? My parents wouldn't let me watch it, but I managed to see a few episodes. IIRC there was a man who was two-dimensional in one episode.

I've seen them all, (original series) but can't remember them anywhere near enough to have a favorite... Wikipedia has an episode list, however...

That sounds like a Twilight Zone episode, I don't recall any Outer Limits episode with that as a plot, and I have all 3 seasons on DVD. Quote:
"The Zanti Misfits" with Bruce Dern Its hard for me to pick just one as a favorite - but I really like: "The Production and Decay of Strange Particles" - that one had a really interesting plot, and Leonerd Nimoy, who got killed off in the first five minutes! |

I remember those shows from the dark past of B&W tv.. and spooky electronic music as intros... trying to stay up late to watch.. or never getting any sort control of the changer dial..unless older bro was going to watch it,,
I can't recall any of the story themes in any great part..... or any of the known actors of the time who played parts.... or have cable TV to catch up on any of the old shows... I might be able to understand them these days.. maybe?...

Oh yeah - "Demon With the Glass Hand" was great! Written by Harlan Ellison, starring Robert Culp.
I think that TZ episode you were talking about is the one where the people were being governed by the "old man" in the cave - who turned out to be a computer! |

The poor dude who could never get a chance to read a book, then he is
locked in a safe when the world ends, and has all the time in the world. FInd a library, and then his glasses break. bummer Burgess Meredith (the penguin) and futurist show where everyone has too look the same.

I loved the original Outer Limits. Terrific show and the episode referenced above, written by Harlan Ellison, is among my favorites. Speaking of Harlan, if you haven't seen it, check out Dreams With Sharp Teeth, a documentary about Harlan. He's kind of hard to take, and he admits it, but the film provides a very illuminating look into a massively creative mind. |

"Time Enough at Last" is an episode of the American television anthology series The Twilight Zone. It was adapted from a short story by Lyn Venable (Marilyn Venable), which had been published in the January 1953 edition of the science fiction magazine If: Worlds of Science Fiction.[1] "Time Enough at Last" became one of the most famous episodes of the original Twilight Zone, and has been frequently parodied since. It is "the story of a man who seeks salvation in the rubble of a ruined world"[2] and tells of Henry Bemis , played by Burgess Meredith, who loves books, yet is surrounded by those who would prevent him from reading them. The episode follows Bemis through the post apocalyptic world, touching on such social issues as anti-intellectualism, the dangers of reliance upon technology, and the difference between aloneness (solitude) and loneliness.

I've never watched the original ones, but the ones from the late 90s were great, I remember watching them every week after SNL was over. I catch them sometimes on "chiller" which appears to be a channel dedicated to cheezy old shows like this. Twilight Zone, Monsters, Tales from the Darkside... pretty cool actually.

The Zanti Misfits and the episode with David McCallum where he is evolved by the professor he works for. Also the Donald Pleasance episode with the "brainstorms".
