I have lately watched several episodes of the early 1960's "The Outer
Limits" series.  I think it ran for 3 seasons, and the episodes I have been
watching lately are the last ones.  Most of the stories are a little darker
than "The Twilight Zone" stories from the same era.  Each episode is also
an hour long, and it sometimes feels like they had to add a bunch of
improbable things into the stories in order to stretch them out.

I feel like the production budget may have been a little less for these
stories also.  I have never noticed this with TZ but there have been a few
times with TOL where you can actually see the strings or wires that are
making things move.  :)  I noticed that more im some of the first episodes
from the series than the ones I am watching now.

Still, I enjoy them.  It is also neat to see some actors which I recognize
from other movies and shows making appearances.  Adam West, of "Batman" TV
fame, was in an episode I watched recently called, "The Invisible Enemy."
There have been several others, but that is the one that springs to mind.
