[@one-step-beyond-1959]

May 13 2021: If we come across a better quality video of an episode somewhere . . . we replace the existing video. Feel free to let us know of any sources for improved OSB videos . . .

[@caroltenge5147]

Even the blurry ones are unique, all bring a great story from long ago. Seeing these again is is like stepping back a lifetime away to my youth... "One step beyond".

[@derekseven1647]

Thanks for giving us these incredible shows with improved quality or not.

[@psw4763]

These shows and stories were very unique. Loved watching them and reruns now. Video quality very good.

[@danbasta3677]

I liked the episode, The Clown. Here is a fun fact. One Step Beyond narrator and host, John Newland there, directed an episode of the Original Star Trek series, Errand Of Mercy.

You're always striving to improve this site for the enjoyment of the viewer, for that, and the conversation these programs the inspire, thank you.

[@kevinw9073]

I remember these very well from my youth! Well done.

[@DH-kl5rx]

I watched this show as a child. It had been cancelled years earlier so I watched many of the old episodes. I like the fact I can now rewatch many of the old episodes I saw in the 60's and many more I never watched previously.

[@Melody-mu6nk]

Love these creepy stories 👍

[@timmack2415]

Thanks for posting these! I vaguely remember the reruns when I was a kid. I've only watched a few episodes, but the writing, acting and direction are fantastic.

[@usmale4915]

It's great that these episodes are on KZbin! This was one of my favorite programs when I was growing up. The two best episodes are: "TIDAL WAVE" and 'THE SECRET"! They're here on YT as well. Really appreciate that these episodes are available. Thank you to the individual that uploaded this classic TV series!

I have all the episodes but still welcome those of improved quality like this one.

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

Klaatu58: If I get real ambitious some day, I'll grade every episode on this channel for video quality, 1-10. Then we can see what improvements to look for. Currently, the worst quality is for the episode "Nightmare". I've only ever seen just the one version of it . . .

I just realised that the male lead, Lee Bergere, is the same actor who played Abraham Lincoln so memorably in The Savage Curtain episode of Star Trek - TOS.

[@filmchick6389]

Well spotted!

[@alexgainly4877]

Well done indeed! I agree very awesome episode as well!

[@terminus8444]

Nice catch, I thought he was familiar, and the credits of course confirmed. Despite some questionable makeup, The Savage Curtain was IMO a pretty great episode. I agree too, that Lee Bergere gave a pretty damn good performance as Abe Lincoln! ✌

AWWWSEME Quality and this Series was to me every bit as good as Twilight Zone was.

[@danbasta3677]

Before Taillight Zone, there was One Step Beyond. Great, thought provoking tv show.

[@jeanrobert7071]

Yah it Started January 20 1959 and Twilight Zone Started October 2and 1959..One Step only ran until June 21 1961..so it was only on for a Year and a half and Twilight was on for 5 Seasons..I hate to say it but One Step was Over Shadowed by Twilight and Didn't get the Recognition it Deserved in the short Duration it was on.

[@hotjazzbaby]

Good 😌 thank you

[@erynlasgalen1949]

Ah, the 1950s. A woman is pregnant, and the husband tells her to take her sleeping pills for nerves.

[@martha-anastasia]

Mom and I love watching Call the Midwife.... it's odd watching the pregnant women sitting around drinking cocktails and smoking. Even the Dr smokes all the time in the office and hospital. I remember when my grandfather was in the hospital for emphysema, he smoked in his oxygen tent. We can't honestly judge the past on what we know now...

[@jttraina4516]

I actually find it IRONIC that these Episodes were so entertaining when they came out ,in the 50's. Now it seems that the ONLY subject the writers IMAGINATION can come up with, is either political, Racial or SEXUAL . I guess all the Writers with any REAL IMADINATION, have become "WOKE" !

[@patrickryan1515]

So woke they put one to sleep.

[@kimmccabe1422]

It's a shame the way some of these studios have stored their old films. Some destroyed for good, unable to improve

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

Actually . . . all these episodes in pristine 35mm quality are stored in some vault in southern California somewhere. Paramount released Season One on high quality DVD but apparently the sales were not strong enough to justify releasing Seasons 2 and 3 in the same way. So we're stuck with scrounging the best 16mm syndication copies from wherever we can . . .

[@kimmccabe1422]

@@one-step-beyond-1959 thankfully!

[@naansophi1111]

​@@one-step-beyond-1959 Perhaps CBS filed the copyright claim last month because they were contemplating on releasing Seasons 2 and 3 on high quality DVD's? Off course, if they do not have the copyright to the 'OSB' series, they will not be able to prevent someone from uploading the high quality episodes on to YT or equivalent, if they do release them, so they will likely not go forward with that. I really wish there was a way that great YT channels like yours could be continued while all the high quality 'OSB' episodes could be sold to the public with profit for those who did the work of transferring the episodes onto digital media.

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

@@naansophi1111 They certainly don't tell me what their plans are -- for sure. I'd like to see all the episodes in high quality -- especially Season 3 which has 7 of the top 10 rated best episodes . . .

[@rogerlynch5279]

Well back in the Fifties and even up to the Seventies. those old film roles were seen as consumer products more or less to be thrown away after two or three reruns. That changed with the popularity of DVDs and BLUERAYS. That is alwo why some of those episodes and even movies like Broomsticks and Bedknobs just survived as fragments.

[@pisiata3651]

So i guess the couple could not keep their mouth shut when they got back to town. Lol. The secret not anymore a secret!

[@omegadubois6619]

Why do most of the actresses and actors yell so much? Was that the only way the knew how to emote?

[@garman1966]

So I guess the old blind guy painted two identical paintings? Maybe he did them both at the same time using a brush in each hand? ( one painting being back at the art gallery and the other being in the old man's house). Not a perfect plot for sure.

[@rogerlynch5279]

As with modern shows like this the background story is exaggerated. But technically things like this have happened more often as believed. Taken Rembrandt´s MAN WITH THE GOLDEN HELMET ( 1650 ), some years ago it became a big scandal when some Art Historian in the ALBERTINA in VIENNA, Austria, had figured out that this world famous painting just was done partly by the great master. Old Documents had prooven that Rembrandt´s widow had payed one of Rembrandts students to finish it. - Just as a real life example But those facts are known to everyone studying History, Literature or Art History. So the couple in this story acted really naive

[@TheCalico72]

02:30 The painting at the house is the watercolor that the original artist painted before he went to war.

[@virginiaberinghsmenon22]

Je connais le Mexique, j'y suis allée trois. J'ai eu l'occasion de parcourir des différents régions de ce beau pays. Je ne m'équivoque pas : la peinture objet de cet épisode est la belle cathédrale de Taxco de Alarcón, ville qui se trouve à peu près 250 km. d'Acapulco, dans l'Etat de Guerrero. Très bien, One Step Beyond !!!!!
