The Outer Limits is an American television series. Similar in style to the earlier The Twilight Zone, though tending more to science fiction than fantasy, The Outer Limits is an anthology show in which each episode is a self-contained story, sometimes with a plot twist. In its original incarnation the show ran for two seasons from 1963 to 1965 in black-and-white.

  • Producers today ...

    Producers today always fail to see the importance of a good opening. This classic has made the show endure for over 40 years.

    This opening set the mood for the next hour. You were ready for whatever they threw at you.

    What show today has such a distinctive start??

  • One of my favorites ...

    One of my favorites series. It does exist 4 or 5 versions of this generic... The version used for France and Canada is in "Counterweigt", it's for me the best variation of this generic.
    My favourite episode is "The premonition".

  • This is one of the ...

    This is one of the best television shows ever made. The scariest episode I thought was "The Architects of Fear", when they turned Robert Culp into an alien. Had nightmares for weeks after that, remember his fingernails were on upside down and his eyelids closed up instead of down. They could never make a television show of this quality again.

  • Thanks for posting ...

    Thanks for posting this! I remember when I was a kid, I actually thought they did have control of the television set. I remember at the end of the show,the man said something like "We know return control of your television set back to you". The new series is great too but the old one had this wonderful gray lighting to it.

    Turning out all the lights. The kids all huddled together. The anticipation and glow in the room. Someone having to get up to bang the side of the TV to adjust the horizontal or move the rabbit ears.

    Just the opening of The Outer Limits would get everyone freaked out. Good stuff.
