If you're still awake at this hour and can't think of anything else to do--14 hour marathon.
Midnight here,so bed for me. Did catch "Nightmare". That one scared me on the original broadcast. |

My eyes were glued to the TV… link |

Are we talking about the 'original' black and white series of the Outer Limits or a more recent but still old colour series? |
| Tom Reed | 02 May 2016 6:35 a.m. PST |
The original black and white series. I was able to catch a few of them and they still stand up pretty good today. |
| nazrat | 02 May 2016 7:01 a.m. PST |
That's good to hear! I remember them fondly from when I was a little kid. |
| JimDuncanUK | 02 May 2016 7:04 a.m. PST |
OK that's great. I'm in the States next again week for a month. I hope I can catch a few of them on the timeshare cable package. |

They were made under some constraints--not only the low budgets of almost all sixties tv,but also in their case,the insistence on the part of the network or studio(I forget which) that every episode feature a "monster". The result was some very obvious shoehorning in some episodes,to their detriment. Rod Serling was fortunate in the greater freedom he had with his series. Still,they managed to make some memorable classics. "Demon With a Glass Hand",and "The Zanti Misfits" come to mind. Now that I think of it,some of the episode titles would make good band names.

Zanti Misfits is an all time favourite. There are loads of old radio and tv shows available on the Internet worth checking: One Step Beyond YouTube link Tales of Tomorrow YouTube link Science Fiction Theatre YouTube link X Minus 1 link Dark Fantasy link Sealed Book link The Strange Dr Weird link |

That's great,Rob,thanks! SF Theater was the first "real" SFTV I ever saw as a kid.
BTW,Comet shows a series that started just a couple of years after SFT,"Men Into Space". 7:30 AM Eastern,Saturdays and Sundays,IRRC. No monsters. |

Men into Space link There are loads of the things – I've pretty much stopped watching anything on TV. |

Also Dimension X on radio: link Although X Minus One and Dimension X were different shows, there was quite a bit of overlap in stories between them. |

Comet is awesome for free tv |
