Outer Limits

Very cool TV show from the early sixties. Twilight Zone get's all the reruns on Memorial Day or whatever, but Outer Limits was a mind blowing Sci-Fi show. Robert Duvall seems to have gotten his start there. Years later, he was an acting teacher for my son here in San Diego. All I could get out of my boy was that Duvall is cool and that he talked about actresses he's kissed on camera. I just got a CD from Blockbuster online from the first season.

They used to play re-runs of it on the SciFi channel at 1430 PST M-F, just after The Twilight Zone. Mind you that this was 4 years ago, they may not be doing it anymore.

"Robert Duvall seems to have gotten his start there."

Robert Duvall was 'Boo' in 'to Kill a Mockingbird in 1962. Was that before the Outer Limit episode he was in?

I agree great series. I was a little tyke. We even had Outer Limit trading cards. I can't remember what show was on night Gallery, T.Z. or Outer Limits.

An added note: these well known series weren't the only ones around at the time. There were a half dozen others and they have been released on DVD in the last couple years. One was hosted by Boris Karloff (I can't think of the name) and another was called 'Chillers'...another, a bit different and pseudo-documentary was 'One Step Beyond'. and there was a British series on Canadian TV, I don't know the name but the stories were a horror-T.Z. blend. It started out with a turning carousel (like at a fair) in the credits. I don't know the name but some British poster might know.

We found all these lesser known series (except the British one) as cheap box sets at Walmart, etc. for a couple dollars.
