Originally broadcast 1959 - 1961. We only got to watch when Dad was on night shift. If there was a news program on any of the three networks, that's what he watched; or anything about WW2 European Theater bc he had been in the Pacific Theater and the movies always got it wrong (a lot of yelling at the TV). I think it must have been in reruns after I moved out bc I remember many of these.

This is a good one. I remember when motels were $6 a night. That's when "Motel 6" came out, because it was $6 a night. I stayed in a hotel in Toronto once that was $480 a night. That was when I was working for a consulting company. They paid it, I didn't. And $1.50 for three shots of bourbon in those days. Everything was so cheap and people were making good money. Now, everything is expensive and people have to fight to make ends meet. This actor went on to star in a TV series that was "something and the West." I think his characters name was "Artemois Gordon." He was good in that with his sidekick.

He was awesome in the outer limits episode where he played some kind of a landlord that turned out to be something else I don't want to spoil it for anyone who didn't see it but check it out it's really awesome and creepy.

Thanks, PizzaFlix! Loved watching OSB, The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits as a young child, later as a teen and again as an adult. Epoch-making stories which expanded the boundaries of pop culture, showcasing the work of great writers... ...whose tales were later adapted into films, video games, et al. The first episode of TOL I saw happened to be season one epi one and woah it freaked me out a bit at the tender age of five even as it fascinated me. I found One Step Beyond like a soothing bubble bath next to The Outer Limits and The Twilight Zone, both of which had several episodes that warped my fragile young mind. But they were also highly educational, introducing younger viewers to important concepts in a wide variety of areas from science to social psychology to politics (especially given that these shows were produced during the Cold War), philosophy, epic archetypes of all types from Venusians to the Devil (whatever you do, do NOT open that door!) to the evil "other" and much much more. But most of all, wow, they were intensely entertaining.

fiction vs non-fiction ... each has its place. Non-fiction satisfies when I need some grounded reality, and these programs suggest there is more to life than what we see. This series does that very well for me. Fiction is fantasy out of a writers creative mind and is different, providing sometimes a much needed escape. Even though non-fiction has its appeal, occasionally, I tire of it. Those experiences can be as Liberace's outfits ... fascinating to admire, then one can have had enough sparkle and glitter, and desire to get back to a sense of reality.
