My Grandfather was in the ARMY during WWII. He went through Pearl Harbor and saw all the destruction... He then spent a year in the South Pacific fighting under the command of General MacArthur. He was at the Battle of Bougainville. He’s 97 years old now and not a day goes by when he doesn’t think of the war. He earned a Silver Star and several other medals. I think of him anytime I see anything having to do with WWII and the war in the South Pacific. Thank you for sharing this!
🌹
Please tell your Grandfather Thank You, from the Daughter of a WWII Veteran-Army Corps of Engineers, European Theatre. You are so lucky to still have your Grandfather with you ❤️💕
🌹❤️
My father flew 35 missions over Europe as a waist gunner in a B17.
Yes, if he is still with you, tell him thank you. My father was in the Navy in the South Pacific in WWII.
It is a FACT that there are times that SCIENCE, HISTORY, & THE BIBLE have each documented similar observations of findings over TIME.
I have to admit: l do like it quite a lot when both Science & Scriptures bear witness with each other.
There are a number of such examples that l have learned about.... actually makes me smile......and very Thankful & Grateful. 😊

One Step Beyond was a great show with good plots, good acting, etc. They don't make shows like that any more.
Plus, OSB had character actors with character..not the plastic looking carbon copy surgically enhanced actors of today. Today's actors and actresses look as if they have been to the same plastic surgeon, with the same facial mold.
These arent plots; thyre based on actual incidents. They happened for real.
The a acting was horrific.
When I was a kid, NO ONE was allowed to talk or move around much when OSB came on the old black and white. Once a week just wasnt enough. Next day all the boys at elementary school had to talk about it. "Did ya see One Step Beyond last night?" Aired at 9 p.m. central time on a Tuesday originally and it was bedtime after the show. If an episode was particularly scary, lights out could get interesting for a kid.
I believe they got interesting!! Ugh
That reminds me of being a kid in the 60s watching the old black and white twilight zone and outer limits. Great memories.
So many good character actors appeared in these shows, like the one playing the Captain. And I was surprised to see Mr. Drysdale, before the Beverly Hillbillies. This one had me in tears at the end.
Yes very emotional damn! When was the last time We saw these kinds of programs on TV? 60 years ago or more?
My Uncle Ron who served during WWII at Hawaii was pissed that I was dating a Japanese girl. I married my love and we were married for 33 years. She died in my arms from a heart attack. I still to this day miss my oriental baby. She took an a American name of Barbara. Oh god I miss her to this day. Oh gawd I miss her. Her name before she changed it was Makiko. I told her time and time don't change your name baby, but she wanted to be truly American.
@@eddysgaming9868 Thank you very much. Its' been 5 months since she passed away, and it still is painful. I've been seeing a grief counselor, but with this pandemic going on I've not been able to get in to the clinic.
Japanese, American...whatever the ethnicity, we are all children of God. You will join her again...and it will be for eternity.
If you watched this show- then you must know in your gut that there is so much more than what is strictly visible by the eye....I lost my love after 27 yrs ---- 8 years ago...I can tell you with total honesty that your “Baby” will do everything possible to try and communicate with you-- but it will be in subtle ways---a favorite song may play next time you turn on radio, go to a restaurant and the special will be something she liked, something lost will all of a sudden appear....she may also appear in your last dream right before you wake....I wish that I could tell all the times unexpected things have happened and I know “my love” had a hand in it...I truly know your pain--I still miss him- it does not always get easier--but you go on..Love does not die but travels to the other side-- she will communicate but be open.....take care
Wow...he no doubt would have disowned you if she would had been black...prejudice an bigotry are signs of a mental disorder....
@cyber pro Thank you so much for your kind words.
You can't beat John Newland's delivery.
You can tell it was a passion for him not just a job.
This John Newland is so captivating . I have not seen him in anything else but such a great presence even though he does not act in these episodes but the most memorable part of them is him .
The prospect of a man carrying out his duties after death, to be filled with so much honour and purpose to do such, to be so dedicated, is severely moving. There is nothing more beautiful than extraordinarily strong willpower that's righteous and giving, heroic and full of grace.
If such a thing were permitted, it would probably be more for the sake of the pharmacist's mate, not for the captain. That was hinted at, but not made explicit.
Moo Bear - what a beautifully worded comment. This incident had all those things, and benefitted all three men.
I remember when my mom was dying, her anniversary was January 11th, she waited until 12:05 a.m. January 12th before she died, she did not want to die on her anniversary
All well and good, but the strongest willpower in the world won't make a person communicate after death! You are all forgetting this is a fictional show, although it's extremely well done!!!

Clean tv. They dont make them anymore. Great to watch.
mr Drysdale was superb
I was in the US NAVY and there was no "friendly" talks between officers and crew men, officers gave orders and crew men would answer "Aye aye sir" !!
@Humphrey Hogan Lol yeah
My father and father-in-law did not want to be officers because of nonsense like that.
Maybe you would have experienced a consoling talk with an officer if you were acting up due to death of a brother
I can't paint all all officers with a single brush...there were a few, a very few, who were human first and officer second. I was fortunate to know two over eight years.
I disagree with your perception 100% ! I got along with both officers and crew. One LCMDR Thomas took me under his wings and tried to get me into OCS ! I don’t know what he saw in me! I dropped out of high school after the 11th grade. Academically, I knew I didn’t qualify. But he tried for 3 years to get me in! If you were to ask me what I was good at, I’d say … I was good at following orders!
Wow, an episode with the original Alcoa Aluminum introduction - cool!
I can understand Harris's situation that he didn't question the voice that continued to lead him through the procedure. It would only be in hindsight that he could realize that the voice was guiding him as if looking over his shoulder.
Right, I thought that too
Didntcha hear the guy was stoned. He was stoned I tell ya.
These old black and white shows have an advantage that color no longer has..actors and actresses before plastic surgery turned them into cartoon-ish versions of themselves. What ever happened to growing old gracefully...with your own face.
Unfortunately people have come to "worship" youth which often includes immaturity in word and deed. 😣
@@tarstarkusz It is indeed s2e3. It first aired Oct. 6th, 1959.
Okay, that just became my favorite episode so far for this entire series.
Right? This and "Signal Received" are my favorites, and I'm pretty sure I've seen them all now
That was an example of Spirit communication whether you believe it or not , it must have eventually have hope that pharmacy mate would realise his brother was in Spirit . He had proof in very strange way!!
Mr. Drysdale was a war surgeon. Gnarly! Too bad Dr. Granny wasn't available. She'd have removed the dude's gizzard!
Yes it made him some nice possum for dinner
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What an amazing show when the US was a different Country
Jim dandy, yes & I miss the 60's & early 70's very much! I real L hate what this country has become, policy correct crap! 🎪🎠🎭📺👾👽
I really hate this spell check! Always changes my words!!!
Debra Olson We feel exactly the same here in the U.K. Debra! 😔
It's a different country NOW
All you have to do is take a breath, and read what you wrote before you enter it! I know you're not stupid, Debra!
The captain was in a lot of westerns too. Good actor
If the senior medical officer looks familiar
He played mr. Drysdale on The Beverly Hillbillies .
This goes to show you how the earlier actors back in the 60s were very versatile .
Yes, I recognized him.
I thought he looked liked Sergeant Bilko
Can you imagine if John Newland Rod Serling Steven King and Alfred Hichcock ever got together and wrote and made these relics :) God they would have been good :) I still love these uploads of John Newland of cource :) Thank u so much for these fantastic uploads ...I love them all...
Wish they would make interesting series like this and the twilight zone. No more violent contents.
Love this episode, talking from beyond to help save his friend.
I saw this episode when i was like 9 or 10 and all my life thought it was from the twilight zone. Im happy i found it again after all this years
This is one of my favorites, (in part because it's WWII!) probably because there aren't any hysterics! Lol these episodes are all very good, but the hysterics are too much sometimes. My very favorites, Signal Received, this one, the Last Round, things like that. No screaming!
"..AND PLANES CARRY NOTHING MORE MENACING THAN THE TOURISTS"
Tourists ... nothing but vectors of transmission. 🤧
Thank you, one of the best stories.

:)
@@upthedownescalator630 Don't bump you head... : )
Thanks for that. I thought it was Fred MacMurray who had played Capt. Will Feilding.
Okay, these oldies always have the long drawn out dialogue but well worth it...
Have you ever been sure the phone would ring in the next 10 seconds, but it doesn't ring? You've had an experience with the every day. ALCOA presents - One Step Short.
The story of my life.
😁😄😄😄
"A show about nothing ...
Absolutely nothing." 🤗
My uncle Nash lived to be 91,he passed in 1991,he remembered when aluminum came out He remembered tin foil
Doesn’t take much to remember in foil. Look in your cabinet.
Superb acting. Back when all men had beautiful deep rich voices.
There are some voices, lemme tell you, I could listen to all day, and there're some in here
@@upthedownescalator630 Tell me where the rest are! I'm surrounded by men and women who unconsciously imitate Kim K's vocal fry.
@@josephsvennson5694 Well Newland is certainly one of them. I've never actually heard Kim's voice but my mother says she sounds like such a.... never mind that. I know some older guys, like my dad's friends, even some of my cousins who're way older than me have such nice comforting deep voices, and then I go out and talk to other guys and it's like, what? You sound like girls lol
Except Bruce DERN ! =)
I totally believe this one! I always believe amazing war stories.
This was real fact.
Same like the OSB episodes "the Vision" "the Return" and "Signal Received" they're all great war stories
I remembered this episode as soon as they contacted the medical officer on the other ship, It is one of the creepiest episodes ever.
Wonderful plot and writing!
This was a real great very true episode.
Was such a great show. I used to watch it with my dad. He worked for Alcoa in Edgewater N.J.👍😃
I got goosebumps.
One of the best episodes of OSB. Thanks.
Definitely a top five
Chief Surgeon is also the banker on "The Beverly Hillbillies", Milburn Drysdale. Weeeeell doggies.
You are showing your age. I remember the Mr Drysdale too.
@@englishcountrylife3805 Who doesn't remember Mr Drysdale? LOL! 🤣
I do my best surgical work while I'm drunk..
Haha
Oh great. Just when I'd almost forgotten WWII, I had to tune into this particular show.
Boy, the Captain and his first shirt were saluting each other like drunken pirates.
Those sure were a couple of sloppy salutes. I don't think the Navy would approve.
Whit Bissel, one the great character actors of the 50sand 60s. Remember the undertaker in The Magnificent Seven.
One of them had to have the great whitt Bissel in one of there episodes!
I don't know if you made the show up but I will tell you I crossed over one time and I will tell you there is life beyond our life good show I liked it thank you for saving the movie 👍🇺🇸
The fact that you are here now to type that comment means you did not die. The human brain is a marvelous machine.
USS Athena was used in tbe Atomic Bomb development in 1946 at the Bikini Atoll. Probably caused cancer to most sailors. One told me he lost all his hair permanently right after being made to witness those explosions.
In College, had a Prof. of Physics/Chemical Engineering, who as an 'enlisted' scientist--was part of the Corp of 'junior scientist' there to assist--told tales of the 'Power-of-the-Bombs' detonated AND of the effects upon the innocent Sailors, (who had to sign waivers-of-secrecy)--to their health--Including, the health of their Sperm, and hence, the health of their children, to-be-born. Per the Prof. the 'Truth' of those Nuclear tests--released to the Media and Public for Years and accepted as 'truthful facts'--is just Govt./Military Public Relations---B.S.. P.S. Bro'--two of the Prof.'s classmates were involved in 'Top Secret' Govt. projects of the Paranormal--being conducted through-out the Pacific Theater and the European.
@@stanochocki8984 All governments are all evil all of the time.
one of the best episodes.
I'll watch anything with Whit Bissell in it.
Amazing episode thanks I enjoyed it
Great episode, but shouldn't have seaman Harris and the other officer been wearing surgical masks?
Simple when the situation became life and death Harris called upon his higher intellect to guide him, yes we all have it but only in these types of situations.
Well said and absolutely correct!
Would you want an EMT to call upon "his higher intellect" to guide him through your surgery?
@@tenhirankei In these types of situations you may not have a choice.
oh, nice one........really liked it, thanks
Thank you. This one's a real treasure!
Great story
The human mind is a vast and largely unexplored thing, filled with wonders we do not and may never, understand.
awesome!
War is never good evil.
Un immense merci.
I Love This Program MissCSA
Wow....I believe this one.
These are interesting dramatisations 😮
What a fantastic show wow.
Milborne Driesdale from The Beverly Hillbillies
I think I honestly feel sorry for Harris
Hahaha Same here
This was real fact too.
Really? Show me any record of a USS Athena or indeed any of the names mentioned in the episode. I eagerly await your research as I, so far, haven't found one iota of truth in a single episode. Truth and Hollywood is an oxymoron.
@laurencefisher1 I would be surprised if the he understands what you mean by tautology if he's that gullible.
I've never been in the Navy, or any branch of the military for that matter, so I have two questions: 1) What about the gunner who freaked out in the beginning? Wasn't that abandoning his post and displaying cowardice in the face of the enemy? 2)The pharmacists mate getting drunk, isn't there a rule that you don't splice the main brace until port is in sight?
Willfade,-he's a hero-the best to you❤
The problem is the time you spent in McHale's outfit.
Gotta love that show
It's all about faith. Through faith miracle can happen, however they happen.
Love this show, favorite episode is The Aerolist.
Hilarious. A wiseguy drunk with a pharmacy course, credentials does major surgery. too funny!
Is that Mr. Drysdale as the other ship's chief medical officer?
It certainly is. We remember most of the actors from our childhoods.
“Every cliche in the book”. That’s how we live
This is the first one of these I've seen, sponsored by Alcoa. Reminds me of "Alcoa Theater," which was also very good.
Mr Drysdale helped him all the way!
Not bad for a Bank Manager.
Mrs Hathaway would be proud.
John Newland est absolument sans égal.
Telephone? No
Around the corner? No
Having to find a bathroom? Yes
This was a great series. It's a pity this episode (I'm only commenting on this one) was complete fiction. The Athene was commissioned September 1944 and never saw battle or hits. It couldn't possibly have been hit by 2 bombs March 1944, it hadn't been launched yet.
Is that Mr. Drysdale from the Bank of Beverly Hills?
Its been years sense I've herd someone say the words RadioShack so many times. At least not sense there Bankruptcy.
Amazingly strange phenomena
... I checked; this episode first aired in 1959. I was curious about the timing, because the great George Grizzard ('Harris') looks to be about the same age as when he was cast as "Nick" in the original Broadway production of *Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,* which opened in 1962, 3 years or so later. My intuition seems to have been correct.The play (in addition to making theatrical history) was also unique in that it was recorded in full, in fully dimensional stereo hi-fi, and released first as a 4 LP vinyl box set (Columbia Masterworks), and recently re-released on CD. Grizzard is superb, and even as an audio recording, the play is transcendental.
The film version is wholly dismissable.
WoW!
cinematedman-I disagree with you. Newland was good but Rod Serling was perfect for the role of commentator-at least for this kind of show.Vic Perrin from Outer Limits was close,though.He was perfect for O.L.
@Tumbleweed I'm entitled to my opinion,Tumbleweed,u punk- the moron is YOU!
Great episode.
Is there any official record of this incident?
Wonder what made young Driscoll crack up........ Covid 19.
Harris doesn't know how b to address officers.
If I lost my brother cause it was my fault I'd be pissed too. But little brother didn't HAVE to go in the Navy
cool.
OSB😮
As a Radioman USN, breaking radio silents for 1 man is absurd!!🤬
That was not just a man. That was Whit Bissell, the famous actor.
Silence.
I've heard of alot of inconsistencies of rules & practices. Depended upon which mil. service branch, which year, & even which "theater" or part of world. Am I wrong, (not having military service)? 🙏🇺🇸
You mean to tell me the USN is so hard up for Radiomen that they take guys who can't even spell 3rd grade words?
Earth is alone to find Heaven, or a demon taught you the greatest lie. Count my words on it.
WWIII is not far off this Shore called Earth. Keep your eye on China.
This seaman seems very insolent. I was in the Marine Corps not the Navy, but even among Navy personnel, I did not hear the “lack of military bearing” from the enlisted to the officer. Is this really based on a true story???
I thought these were true stories? ...No such ship called the USS Athena even existed in WW2.
There are pictures online....USS Battle ships.....one named "ATHENIA"....and another named "ATHENE".....I only had time to do a quick search just now.... will try again later on

There is life after death, whom ever has not the faith for this, one day after their mortal demise, will discover for themselves, it to be true. May the Lord of Hosts have mercy on those non believers, as well as believers.
Nonsense.
this was a EC comic book story.
Scrub up grunt your the only one left. Just do it. Bet some of them heard something like that in war times. All of us have use the MAN will let us know.
I like watching these for entertainment value, but they are super predictable and all the shows follow only a handful (if that) of general plots.
i never buy these stories as they are very clearly works of total fiction, but they sure are fun to watch, and I love the theme music.
per usual--Mr. Harris's excuse of his 'Love relationship' to get Drunk and go on binges is a very, very tiresome one-trick Pony Act in ANYONE'S live or Story.
I quite agree. Now, where did I hide that bottle😭
But it is actually quite common.
In this story, his younger brother died ... b/c Harris convinced him to enlist.
