The Outer Limits


The Outer Limits is, to put it simply: the best TV show ever.

"There is nothing wrong with your television. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are now controlling the transmission. We control the horizontal and the vertical. We can deluge you with a thousand channels or expand one single image to crystal clarity and beyond. We can shape your vision to anything our imagination can conceive. For the next hour we will control all that you see and hear. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the deepest inner mind to the outer limits."

And that, my friends, is the best opening line ever.

The Outer Limits never cease to interest me. I've watched countless episodes, and have thoroughly enjoyed every one of them. Although the Outer Limits is basically a copy of the Twilight Zone, which I like also, it remains fresh and exciting. The Twilight Zone opening line is good, too:

"You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Twilight Zone!"

I suggest you watch the episodes Skin Deep, Alien Shop, Flower Child, Abduction, and Family Values to start out with, although there is a countless number of good episodes.
