Did you know
- TriviaThe original title for this series was "Please Stand By". However, the Cuban Missile Crisis had happened less than a year earlier and the executives thought it might make people fearful of an air raid. As a reference to this, when The Outer Limits (1995) would cut to a commercial, the Control Voice said, "Please stand by."
- Quotes
Dr. Paul Wayne: So what difference does it make, whether it's 20 minutes or 20 years, since neither amounts to the faintest echo of the tiniest whisper in the thunder of time.
- ConnectionsEdited from Ihmeellinen on elämä (1946)

Do not attempt to adjust the picture
This science fiction anthology series that lasted for 2 seasons and 49 episodes, great acting, superb set design, and wonderful stories made this in some ways better than even "the Twilight Zone". I know that statement could very well be considered close to heresy to some, and don't get me wrong I do love Twilight Zone and hold it among my favorite shows, I merely find the endlessly thought-provoking and wonderous episodes of Outer Limits to edge out the great, but reallying on last-minute twists episodes of Twilight Zone. Followed in the mid '90's by a revival show on Showtime that while good in it's own right, just couldn't hope to hold a candle to the original series.
