We interupt this program . . .

What a wonderful book! I love watching the old horror programs on television, such as Karloff's Thriller, The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits. What I enjoy most is watching each program, and then spend a few minutes reading up on the production history and trivia about the program, thanks to books like this. I just spent the last three years reading "The Alfred Hitchcock Presents Companion" by Grams and Wikstrom and watched each and every episode of the Hitchcock TV series one by one. What a fascinating program. So logically, I purchased this book and am done the first season. With each viewing I turn to this book and find out trivia I did not know, and other neat facts. That's what tells me if the book is a good book or not. A must-have.

The new edition -Aug 1999 is Fantastic!

An excellent book that describes all the episodes and gives behind-the-scenes facts about each one and how the series started. Well written and entertaining.

A comprehensive, entertaining look at "The Outer Limits"

David J. Schow and Jeffrey Frentzen have done a wonderfully thorough job of documenting the history and impact of 1960's science-fiction series "The Outer Limits." This well-researched book includes exhaustive interviews with series creator Leslie Stevens and show mastermind Joseph Stefano, as well as the writers, directors and technicians responsible for the individual episodes. Each episode is reviewed, with representative stills and rare production information. Schow and Frentzen display an admirable affinity for the series, and their insights into the underlying concerns of this unique show are both enlightening and entertaining. This is the standard by which all other television series tomes should be measured, and is long overdue for a reprint.
