The
Outer Limits The Original Series, Season 1
(1963)
From the moment Vic Perrin's omniscient
"Control Voice" first proclaimed, "There is nothing wrong with
your television set," on September 16, 1963, The
Outer Limits was destined for greatness. The
dazzling, long-beloved series was a daring experiment in "omnibus"
TV, trading the speculative fantasies of The Twilight Zone
for farther-out sci-fi concepts. Producers Leslie Stevens
and Joseph Stefano had risen as gifted writers from
(respectively) Broadway and Hollywood; Stevens rebounded from his
previous canceled series, while Stefano had scripted Hitchcock's Psycho
and was eager to expand his creative horizons. With an executive
order for scary monsters and cold war thrills, their fruitful
symbiosis was preceded by the superb Stevens-directed pilot
"Please Stand By," named after the series' once-proposed title and
changed to "The Galaxy Being" for its broadcast premiere.
Cliff Robertson launched an impressive succession of guest stars,
and on meager, oft-exceeded budgets of $120,000 per episode, The
Outer Limits became a showcase for shoestring ingenuity.
The "blue ribbon crew" (as Stevens called it) included
cinematographer Conrad Hall, whose Oscar�-winning skills were
honed on the series' cramped TV-studio sets. Packed onto four
double-sided DVDs, these 32 episodes (out of a total 49) comprise
the series' dynamic first season of moody, frequently paranoid
black-and-white adventures. Repeat performers Martin Landau,
Robert Culp, and Sally Kellerman excel (respectively) in the
fan-favorite episodes "The Man Who Was Never Born," "The
Architects of Fear," and "The Bellero Shield" (and who can forget
the insect-like menace of "The Zanti Misfits"?). There are a few
clunkers, of course, but the series' quality (and parade of
monsters) is remarkably consistent, and DVD compression does not
compromise its technical achievement. These eerily seductive shows
invite repeated viewing, supporting Stephen King's oft-quoted
remark that The Outer Limits was "the best program of
its type ever to run on network TV." --Jeff Shannon
