THE OUTER LIMITS PROGRAM GUIDE By Bruce T. Goldman

From 1963 to 1965, A.B.C. aired 49 episodes of The Outer Limits. Sources used to compile this list are Fantastic Television by Gary Gerani and Paul Schulman, Starlog Magazine article by Gary Gerani, The June, 1983 issue of Video Review by Reed Hall and The Signet Book of T.V. Lists by Jeff Rovan. There is always a comparison of the Outer Limits to the Twilight Zone, they were both aired in black and white during the early 60's. Both had dealings with science fiction and usually had some moralistic viewpoint. The Outer Limits was always 1 hour and almost always had a monster. My preference was to The Outer Limits in that the morals and stories were better developed. I will grant that the writing of the Twilight Zone was more fluid, but the impact of the Outer Limits had it beat.
