Screenwriting is a strong point of the series, and many of the episodes display a philosophical streak that more than makes up for what they lack in terms of convincing special effects.

Not all of the Limits episodes have aged well; the best -- and [The Zanti Misfits] is among them -- are those that mix a little moralizing into their sci-fi. Good stuff.

The Outer Limits boasted scary, gruesome alien creatures, innovative scripts by such noted sci-fi writers as Harlan Ellison, and such guest stars as Gloria Grahame, Miriam Hopkins, Martin Landau, Sally Kellerman, David McCallum and Lloyd Nolan.

Twilight Zone never looked better.

Don't pass up a chance to see "Demon With a Glass Hand," the best episode of the black-and-white series, which ran for two seasons starting in 1963 and boasted top writers, directors and actors of the time.

After Rod Serling's original The Twilight Zone became a hit on CBS, it didn't take long for other TV sci-fi anthology shows to pop up on television. The Outer Limits was one of the best.

The result is a B-movie-inspired anthology series that looks like a European art film -- one that's aged surprisingly well.

The Outer Limits set the bar in many ways, and set it high.
