    "There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat, there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... The Outer Limits. — Opening narration – The Control Voice – 1960s"

    oh god yes! i got the whole original series on dvd. i've also have most of the new series on dvd too. great sci-fi like this is hard as all hell to come across on tee vee! i know alot of people, who went into science due to the influence of star track back in the 1960's. i never could stand star track... it is just not belivible! the outer limits from the 1960's help guide me into the social sciences. i got a master degree in psychology due, in part to the outer limits influence on me. the 1960's series still holds up quite well even today. the new series has one hell of alot better special effects but, special effects were not too hot back in the early 1960's. so timewarp, you put up pics from the galaxy being and the sixth finger. that pic from the sixth finger sure does not look like david mc collum does it? see, i know my outer limits.

    Hi bc666!!!. You sure know your OTs :). I agree with you on the better FX on the new series, but like most remakes, the original scary, chilly, twisty sensation that the ORIGINAL OT gives is missing.....and taslking abou FX, being the 60s, OT was way ahead of its time for today's standards.................diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig!!!

    The ZANTI MISFITS..............weird is an understatement!! :)

    Much better in many ways than the Twilight Zone... although I did like that one too.
