— Opening narration – The Control Voice – 1960sThere is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat, there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... The Outer Limits.
That was the best show! The old one. I have been trying to find a picture of "The Man from Galaxy X". Can't find him. But that show had a collection of some of the best monsters and it was mind expanding too.
The things they came up with were really out there! You know they took it off the air because parents were complaining that their kids were having bad night mares and couldn't sleep...lol. I loved it.
One of the stories that comes to mind was O.B.I.T. The Outer Band Individual Teletracer. Seems this guy had introduced this box to the gov't. You could input different codes into it and see the person that code pertained to. Well it became very controversial due to privacy issues and it ended up in court. So while these guys are building their cases for & against, one of the prosecuting attorneys was particularly savvy in matters of technology and espionage. He happened to get the code of the guy who introduced this gadget and claimed it was his patent. He couldn't figure it out at first but later he did, so while he was in court and the guy who supposedly invented it was there too, he dialed in his code and it was a crazy looking alien creature. The guy saw it and got up and starting making a speech and you could see him moving and speaking simultaneously on the box. He looked normal in the court room but was that alien creature on the box.
