There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to — The Outer Limits.
“The Outer Limits” ran from 1963 to 1965. It had an emphasis on SciFi. I remember as a kid seeing a repeat of an episode with a robot that was made of electricity, at least, as a little kid that’s how it looked to me. I hid myself behind a chair but continued to watch it from around the corner. Admittedly, I liked Outer Limits better than Twilight Zone and I think that’s because it seemed a bit more scary and less of a psychological drama theme. It also took SciFi themes in fun directions. It is seriously a good one to have in your classic TV show collection.
