Sci-Fi History: The Outer Limits (1963)


The Outer Limits was like the Twilight Zone, but generally focused more on science fiction than the supernatural or strange. The show featured a now classic opening and had a wide ranging impact on the sci-fi genre. Some of the creatures on The Outer Limits appeared in Star Trek. James Cameron borrowed from The Outer Limits when he created The Terminator. The original show lasted two years from 1963-65, but an updated reboot ran from 1995-2002. In 1997, the episode, The Zanti Misfits, ranked #98 on TV Guide’s list of 100 greatest television episodes of all time.
