A four-disc set that controls over 27 hours of transmission from the 1963-64 series, this vessel has sought you out for one specific purpose: to expand your mind to \"The Outer Limits\"!\n\n\nAmazon.ca\n\n\nFrom the moment Vic Perrin's omniscient \"Control Voice\" first proclaimed, \"There is nothing wrong with your television set,\" on September 16, 1963,\nThe Outer Limits was destined for greatness. The dazzling, long-beloved series was a daring experiment in \"omnibus\" TV, trading the speculative fantasies of\nThe 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\nPsycho 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.\n 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\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 027616879127\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780792853459\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e DVD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51459797090601,"sku":"YY-80G7-ZW7R","price":100.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/6225\/6681\/files\/51HCRFZHX7L.jpg?v=1762030746","url":"https:\/\/konnichiwa.ca\/products\/outer-limits-the-original-series-season-one","provider":"こんにちはマート | KON NICHIWA MART","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
