Editorial Review:
"The best program of its type ever to run on network TV!" - Stephen King
Perhaps marked for its opening sequence and eerie voice-over. "There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission", The Outer Limits pushed the boundaries of television and viewers minds by introducing a new caliber of science fiction.
The Outer Limits (The Original Series) - Volume 3 Reviews:
Okay, Not That Bad-- 
2009-11-01 - And not nearly as good as the first season. I'm not the least bit sure why, but the second season of the Outer Limits was nowhere as near as good as the first. Nothing in this season compares with such a truly creepy show as The Production of Strange Particles or Do Not Open Until Doomsday-- but, these shows are still the original Outer Limits and are still worth watching.
I started taping these shows from the This network, but being reasonably priced, it's worth the money to get this season on DVD despite the shortage of good firstseason-like shows. At least we get these shows in good quality audio and video; two things we just can't get from taping off of the Tv set even with the new HD broadcasting.

Outer Limits on DVD 
2009-05-01 - Outer Limits on DVD is a great way to keep this treasured series alive and well into the 21st century. The stories generally hold up well - and many I had forgotten about since seeing them for the first time when they aired on television.
Let the Outer Limits Volumes 1, 2 and 3 take control of your television... no, sorry, take control of your DVD and monitor and enjoy this thought-provoking series.
Continued from my review of Volumes 1 & 2....
2009-04-22 - After having reviewed volumes 1 & 2 (sort of), and having been thoroughly satisfied with them, I decided to purchase volume 3 of this great series in order to complete the collection for my DVD library. Once again, I had no problems whatsoever and am very happy with it. The packaging could be better and I do not like two-sided flipper discs, so I'm once again giving this 4 stars.
It's commonly stated that the second season of the original Outer Limits was not as good as the first season, and I agree. I'm talking about the quality of the scripts mostly, not anything to do with the DVD package. It is still a classic and thought-provoking show, however. The 4-star rating is taking everything into consideration. I deducted a single star for the flipper discs, but the fact that the price is so low more than makes up for the poor packaging, IMO. If you're like me, low price ranks way up there on the list of reasons why I will purchase certain DVDs, and having bought Volume 3 for around 12 bucks (less than the price of a couple of meal deals at McDonald's), this was another major bargain. It is unfortunate that some folks received defective discs, but I did not, and this review is obviously based on my experience. It does not take any others' into account, nor should it, IMO.
So I now own the entire series and obtained it for around $27. That's pretty dang cheap, and I am very happy with it!
Peace.
Great TV From the Past, and Still holds up.
2008-11-28 - There are two diiferent box sets of the Outer Limits. The one for sale here is of the 3 volume set. There is also another set which is distributed as season one and another which is season two. Don't get them confused. This version of Vol 1,2 + 3 are the same episoces which goes under Season 1 and Season 2, Don't buy both thinking your getting different episodes.
Great memories with this set
2008-08-02 - I seldom see reruns of The Outer Limits broadcast, so it's nice to have my own copies now. Unlike certain other reviewers, my disks have excellent playback and the picture quality is clean and sharp.
Only one minor annoyance with the packaging: There are two episode index lists - on the back of each disk case and on the back of the set slipcase. The back of the slipcase states the correct order.
