Unsure it can happen for some basic reasons. Do the actors care? What different information do we learn outside of normal study? New doesn't mean better and better doesn't mean new. Though if there's a talented enough Author out there then I'd love to meet them.
@@Greatermaxim I mean, it's a sci-fi anthology series, sure it had recurring actors, it didn't have a set cast, it had a different sets of actors every episode. A revival series would also draw more attention to this, and the original series and have various streaming services put them on their platforms hopefully, currently there's not an ideal way to watch the whole series, I think amazon has a few seasons online for purchase and not much else. With a sci-fi anthology the storytelling potential is virtually limitless, so I don't get the "new information" comment.
@@kingcheerio8558 I like that the Outer Limits can stand alone. I suppose my problem is my inability to suspend disbelief. The drawback to being strong-minded. Less mature individuals might be into this more. To be fair any show deserves a revival with the right author.
@@Greatermaxim sounds like you just have a lack of imagination to me. Truly great stories and thought provoking ideas in this great series. Imagination and the love of a great story is what's needed to enjoy this show, has nothing to do with maturity, despite what you tell yourself to make up for your own creative shortcomings and simple minded nature. To put it simply, your mind just cannot reach.....the outer limits
I grew up on this show, and I've been re-watching it recently. One of its best qualities is its focus on issues revolving around near-future advanced technologies, like the ethics of artificial intelligence.
@@ReynaldoOrio It's on Prime; however, it is missing season 3 for some unknown reason (or at least it is here in Canada). I have access to all the seasons elsewhere, just poorer quality. Seasons 1-3 are by far the best, though there are some good episodes later on for sure. Strangely enough, they never really had a serious updated release of this show. They had some DVD boxsets, but instead of following season by season like you would expect, they were based on concepts from the show (like aliens or robots). Weird
For fans of scifi-horror anthology and the xfiles... the is for you. Strange how close the cinematography resembles the early xfiles seasons. Also the true thought provoking nature of many episodes puts it high in the scifi-horror anthology genre.
Fun Fact (no. 1): "I, Robot" is based on an episode of the original Outer Limits series (which was itself adapted from a story by Earl and Otto Binder -- they were billed under the name "Eando," a combination of their initials linked by the word "and.") Fun Fact (no. 2): Adam's defense attorney is played by Leonard Nimoy, who played a cynical reporter in the original episode.
This was the best sci-fi remake series. Some of the episodes mentioned here and others from the show still freak me out. I watch it whenever I can on COMET. The intro, like the original, is a classic and unnerving. Most of the series was nightmare fuel but those that weren't were still deep. Kevin Conway was a great narrator.
Where I used to live they didn't broadcast this show so I never knew about it. Now where I live I watch it on Comet so they are all new to me. They are O.K. but I prefer Monsters from few years before as it is all horror.
I own the whole 90's Outer Limits series on DVD in a collection and recently re-watched all of them which I haven't seen since it first aired and just loved it, a great sci fi horror gem of a show.
Some memorable episodes in this list. I loved this show and lived in Vancouver when this was being produced so often found myself watching them film scenes in many of their regular shooting locations. Also worked for a car rental place that provided most of the vehicles for all the film crews so got to meet some interesting people and got a glimpse of the behind the scenes. Also looking back there were so many great guest appearances on this show, I'm surprised it hasn't had such a strong legacy like a few other science fiction series' of the past.
i loved how the various multi episode stories were spread out between the others. The sequels were usually not one after the other so you watched and every week was a part of a different storyline or one of many stand alones. It was really a way to keep it fresh.
Outer limits is a great show, especially with those twists that sometimes happen at the end. I like that episode I believe is called Caught in the Act, it was one of the first I saw. The Lithia episode was interesting too, but there's an episode with John Cryer where he keeps vanishing suddenly and when reappearing each time ten years have passed. That one was pretty trippy. And I noticed the guy who plays a time traveler is in multiple episodes as the same character, and played the shape shifter in an episode mentioned in this video. It's a great show.
I remembered the alien prison episode from 90s tv and already thought i made it up. I did some google research from time to time for about 5 years. The search is finally over, what a relief :) Thanks for the video, cant wait to watch the entire show!
This show was great for little ol me back in 95. Just an 8 year old with a box tv and a wire antennae, tuning in to watch this show I could barely get passed the opening music to I’d get too scared. Fun times!
I love about this series that it was episodic and the episodes seemed not connected but there was indeed some sort of greater story being told and rewatching often revealed that and gave you insight and details about other episodes...
A bunch of them have the same theme about "humanity" and not being selfish/racist/rude/filled with hate, etc. and about how better and stronger people are when we come together.
@@homelesshannah50 this makes me remember that one episode where an entire town gets removed by aliens from earth in search for a slave race...the people realize that these aliens are to powerful for the humans to fight and that humanity cannot resist in any way or form they also realize that if they survive in this new hostile environment the aliens will enslave planet earth and all humans... coincidently they also discover that the previous slave race was wiped out by some disease that seem not to infect humans naturally ...the humans need to make a choice if they willingly infect themselves with the disease they will die they will never meet their loved ones ever again but humanity will be spared and nobody will ever know about this sacrifice or what happened to them... after talking and contemplating the episode ends with them all holding hands in a circle slowly turning into some sort of mineral slowly dying...at the end there is a scene with the media reporting about a town disappearing without a trace... I only watched it once as a kid but i still remember this episode...one of my favorites...
@@cmbaz1140 I like that one too!!! The late great David McCallum was in that, he played the teen girls' father. It was his idea that they all infect themselves to save everyone else on the planet. Sad but very noble.
Does anyone else remember the episode that takes place in just one classroom? The one where the premise was that humanity was almost wiped out by a virus, and people shouldn't go outside? And that's why at the beginning a doctor, together with a heavily armed soldier, steps in front of these children to take all the girls away so they can be impregnated? I found that quite heavy at the time, for a TV series that ran in the afternoon on Saturday/Sunday.
Still waiting for new episode or a reboot. One of the best 90's or early 2000 series. So many mind blowing episodes, aliens, robots,ghosts. Please netflix pick up the series like you did with the twilight zone.
Thank You again, Marvelous videos for an awesome list. I remember watching three of the episodes mentioned here (fond memories); but now that I know which TV series they were from, will see the rest 😁
I have all episodes on my external hard drive. Definitely a good show and hidden gem. I was born in 1990 (real 90s baby here) and remember this as a kid.
Tempests is one of the best episodes the guy thinking is he dreaming or is it reality only to find he's hallucinating cos of alien spiders great twist right at the end.
Talk about not relying on star power: there were so many up and coming…. Ryan Reynolds (Model’s son), Alyssa Milano was in Caught in the Act, Ezra Dax(Nicole De Boer), was the cadet/alien girl in quality of Mercy. Ducky from NCIS was in A feasibility study and Kirsten Dunst was in Music of the Spheres.
I have all the episodes of this and a few props, books, cards and other bits. I wish they still made TV like this! Simpsons, XFiles and Outer Limits were my Sunday night lineup.
Outter limits was amazing the deadman switch episode and the changing sun, aliens helping human evolution to survive the changing sun still makes me think all these years later
There were so many good episodes here are my personaly favourites: The Conversion S1E12 , Vanishing Act S2E21, Inconstant Moon s2e12, The Beholder s6e6, Patient Zero s7e2, Abduction s7e16
Between Alfred Hitchcock, Twilight Zone, & Outer Limits when I was a kid, I've lost count of how many nights I had trouble sleeping... I don't regret even a single second of it.
Dude you collected all the creepy episodes !! 😱 I havent watched all clips, but there's another episode where a professor i think gets a house assistant whose an android and later grows romantic feelings for his android assistant and they end up having an affair and later towards the end of the episode the android assistant lets the professor know that she is pregnant! 😱😱 The Outer limits was definitely on some other level of their own!
My favorites were the ones always being shown late night on KCAL 9. These were "Lion's Den," "Abduction," and "The Conversion." The episodes that got my attention were "Under the Bed," and "If These Walls Could Talk."
Just found this. Thank you very much for reminding me why I hated this Outer Limits re-boot so much. Much of it was derivative unimaginative crap, even to the point of ripping off the "I, Robot" episode from the original series. The only reason it lasted 7 seasons is that the rest of American television was a total wasteland at this point. By comparison, even this watered-down version of the original looked good. I saw the original series as a child and later as an adult and although the first season was quite good, lack of good scripts coupled with network indifference doomed it. The re-boot only reinforced my suspicion that modern writers are largely hacks.
Yes I agree 100%. They were able to somehow be the absolute cringe episodes And showcase the worst dated Tropes the 90s had to offer. No other older sci-fi series is this cheesy. Tales from the crypt comes close on a lot of their episodes But nowhere near this B-movie blasé stuff. It is unwatchable to me and I grew up in the 90s. They really did a disservice to this series reboot.
@@Mattball82 Michelle Forbes. She was great as Ro Laren. But I think they could have done more with her. Instead, she was simply blown up in season 3 of Picard. What a waste of potential.😒
Haven't seen the whole series, but have enjoyed the episodes that I've seen. "The Human Operators" from Season 5 is my favorite among the ones that I've seen thus far.
You can also pick up the first 3 seasons on Pluto TV..although the very first episode, "The Sandkings" by George R.R. Martin (which is my personal fav..3 generations of Bridges!) Is omitted for some reason
It's a shame that they couldn't use the original opening, make it black and white and use Dominc Frontieres original OL music. That way it could have been incorporated into the original series package. Oh well.
This was a FANTASTIC show, but my wife and I used to call it "Unnecessarily Dark Twist Ending: the Series". Every damn episode! I think I saw two, maybe three episodes that didn't have soul-crushing endings. Remember when Wesley Crusher spent an entire episode desperately trying to stop an alien invasion on earth, but then accidentally blew up the earth instead? Or when two scientists develop a way to bring people back from the dead, but they die again within 24 hours, then one of the scientists is killed during a mugging and decides to use his last 24 hours finding and killing the mugger with no attempt to hide his actions because he was going to die regardless? Dark! But then remember how it turned out that the reason everyone died a second time was because the people they brought back had been dead too long, so the scientist who had openly murdered a man was now going to live on? How about the very first episode, where a spaceship delivering a vital cure to a disease devastating a colony on a far off planet runs into trouble when a man on the ship with family on the disease-ridden planet begins to jump back and forth between two realities, one of which sees the crew of the ship dealing with a dangerous situation and desperately trying to find a way to get to the planet with the cure, and the other reality sees him already on the planet, having successfully arrived in time to save everyone? And how eventually he concludes the real universe is the one with the crew struggling to make it to the planet, and he's able to find a way to fix the problem and get to the planet just in time to save the colony and his family? I know what you're thinking. Wait, that's a great ending, right? It is! Or, it would be, if BOTH REALITIES hadn't been false. In reality, the ship is sitting completely inert, the entire crew webbed up by bizarre spider aliens whose venom causes them to hallucinate as a means of keeping them docile, with the last shot of the episode showing the main character webbed up but smiling, saying over and over, "I saved them. I saved them all," as his family and the entire colony presumably dies in agony without the needed medicine. WHAT. THE HELL. SHOWTIME.
@@jcaseyjones2829 the space spiders! This blew my mind when I first saw it as a young teen. Can't believe I forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me how great that episode was.
The conversion in season 1 was the best episodes it took place in a bar and was well acted and had aliens taking the role of a sort of angle. The message is also in my top 10 which is about a deaf women who gets a implant that picks up a signal from aliens needing help.
I was obsessed with this show as a kid !!! I have been looking for years to find an episode of an anthology show. The premise is a small community of people who are floating in space. The twist at the end is that the people do not realise that the entire town appears to be plucked off the face of earth and they are floating ? Any answers please !!!
I loved this series as a kid. Ok so this has been driving nuts because this was always an episonde that always made feel hopless at the end, but I am 99% this was an Outer limits episode. Does anyone remember one where humans are enslaved by aliens (helpful I know lol) but the "King" alien's human servant has been brain-washed to forget his human life and is rescued by his wife and the human resistance? The song "What a wonderful world" plays in it and he finally remembered who he was only for the rug to be completely yanked out from under him by the end. Any helpful hints?
The best episode for me is one I vaguely remember, it's set in one night and the moon is unusually bright because the sun has gone nova, the main character tries to rekindle an old romance before the world ends
omg, do you have any link or other possibiity to download the series or any other way to watch it somewhere? it was so freaking good hardcore mindbending scifi-horror show of my childhood id love to rewatch it, the charge of the light brigade is my fav
I like all the episodes on your list, but a few excellent episodes are missing: Rule Of Law, Afterlife, and Architects Of Fear. My favorite episode is I Robot, starring the late great Leonard Nimoy. This remake of the original
This show desperately deserves a revival

Yesss!! They made a version of that story in Love Death and Robots “Beyond the Aquila Rift” 👍
Terrific list, excellent job.
“The Human Operators” and “The Deprogrammers” were both also excellent shows.
Talk about not relying on star power: there were so many up and coming…. Ryan Reynolds (Model’s son), Alyssa Milano was in Caught in the Act, Ezra Dax(Nicole De Boer), was the cadet/alien girl in quality of Mercy.

Simpsons, XFiles and Outer Limits were my Sunday night lineup.
I am from Austria, i also could not wait for the Sunday night lineup, Outer Limits was like gate to another world for my lil brain.
Outter limits was amazing the deadman switch episode and the changing sun, aliens helping human evolution to survive the changing sun still makes me think all these years later

Please do more outer limits!!!
If anyone wants to watch it's on prime video
Dead Mans Switch is definitely one of the best!
i think about the robot boy story to this day. the outer limits were ahead of their time
I loved this show and as kid. Ran home every Friday after games to watch.
That episode was the most annoying cliché attitude I heard from a child. Kinda comical.
Love this series! Favorite epusode was and still is "Afterlife".
Clancy Brown was great in 'Afterlife'! Everything the man touches turns to gold. 😀
That amazing episode seemed like a remake of The Architects Of Fear.
The ones portraying rogue technology and dangerous robots are oddly my fave (likely because I myself am a cyborg in RL)
I catch the reruns on the Comet channel. Good times and good stories too.
The top 10 best eerie Indiana episodes please make this video happen pretty please 🥺 ?

How about the very first episode, where a spaceship delivering a vital cure to a disease devastating a colony on a far off planet runs into trouble when a man on the ship with family on the disease-ridden planet begins to jump back and forth between two realities, one of which sees the crew of the ship dealing with a dangerous situation and desperately trying to find a way to get to the planet with the cure, and the other reality sees him already on the planet, having successfully arrived in time to save everyone? And how eventually he concludes the real universe is the one with the crew struggling to make it to the planet, and he's able to find a way to fix the problem and get to the planet just in time to save the colony and his family? I know what you're thinking. Wait, that's a great ending, right? It is! Or, it would be, if BOTH REALITIES hadn't been false. In reality, the ship is sitting completely inert, the entire crew webbed up by bizarre spider aliens whose venom causes them to hallucinate as a means of keeping them docile, with the last shot of the episode showing the main character webbed up but smiling, saying over and over, "I saved them. I saved them all," as his family and the entire colony presumably dies in agony without the needed medicine.
WHAT. THE HELL. SHOWTIME.
I read the whole thing. You might want to shorten future posts for John Doe. Up to you.
@@Greatermaxim my apologies. I get worked up. I appreciate the advice.
@@jcaseyjones2829 the space spiders! This blew my mind when I first saw it as a young teen. Can't believe I forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me how great that episode was.
Trial By Fire, Feasability Study and Abduction are some of my favorites I love alien episodes also I am Jollum I serve M’Lord.
deprogrammer, nice episode.
Valerie 23 episode actress had a killer body
Where I lived there were 2 episodes on every day after school. I don’t think I’ve seen all the episodes but I’ve seen most of them.
That's happened to be one of my favorite shows as a young teen
The conversion in season 1 was the best episodes it took place in a bar and was well acted and had aliens taking the role of a sort of angle. The message is also in my top 10 which is about a deaf women who gets a implant that picks up a signal from aliens needing help.
I was obsessed with this show as a kid !!! I have been looking for years to find an episode of an anthology show. The premise is a small community of people who are floating in space. The twist at the end is that the people do not realise that the entire town appears to be plucked off the face of earth and they are floating ? Any answers please !!!
Loved this show some of those endings were so shocking
My Top 5 are:
Replica
Stranded
Abduction
Lion's Den
The Deprogrammers
Love how they use the Sci Fi actors from 90s from our favorite Sci Fi shows
All these years, I thought that first episode was from Space Above and Beyond.
I loved this series as a kid. Ok so this has been driving nuts because this was always an episonde that always made feel hopless at the end, but I am 99% this was an Outer limits episode. Does anyone remember one where humans are enslaved by aliens (helpful I know lol) but the "King" alien's human servant has been brain-washed to forget his human life and is rescued by his wife and the human resistance? The song "What a wonderful world" plays in it and he finally remembered who he was only for the rug to be completely yanked out from under him by the end. Any helpful hints?
That episode was called "The Deprogrammers" - Season 2 Episode 16 I believe
@@thomasstreeten1722 Freaking slap my butt and call me Brittany, YES! Just looked it up and that's the one, thank you! 🤣😜💜
We talk about that episode all the time.
The aliens kept calling the humans Jalum or something like that
I think you should have included "The Light Brigade" which was the sequel to "A New Life". Also, "Nightmare" and "Relativity Theory".
"A New Life", "Lithia", "Think Like A Dinosaur", "Resurrection" ....
I remember watching this show while waiting for my mom and dad to arrive.
Omg I've been waiting for this episode 😍
another episode to add to the list is the one where the whole neighborhood gets snatched up into outer space.
The Outer Limits - Season 3, Episode 17
Feasibility Study
Aliens take a human community into space to see if they will make good slaves.
Great list thx!
I love this show. Very entertaining episodes. Intelligent sci fi horror
Twilight Zone outer limits even Tales From The Darkside all are timeless and can be redone for the era.
The best episode for me is one I vaguely remember, it's set in one night and the moon is unusually bright because the sun has gone nova, the main character tries to rekindle an old romance before the world ends
Kevin Conway, not Kevin Conroy. Thanks for disappointing a Batman fan
I saw the series on when I was in college.
1:26 is my all time favourite episode... And The Twist... OMG!!!
What and amazing series
The show that thought me critical thinking growing up, "Final exam" is one of my favorites.
This is still the best sci-fi anthology show since the original Twilight Zone.
My fav episode was Tribunal.
Loved the new outer limits but for me “human operators” is the best!
omg, do you have any link or other possibiity to download the series or any other way to watch it somewhere? it was so freaking good hardcore mindbending scifi-horror show of my childhood id love to rewatch it, the charge of the light brigade is my fav
There are select episodes on UA-cam. I doubt all 7 seasons are however.
I like all the episodes on your list, but a few excellent episodes are missing: Rule Of Law, Afterlife, and Architects Of Fear. My favorite episode is I Robot, starring the late great Leonard Nimoy. This remake of the original
Afterlife is my all time favorite episode! My sisters hated it, it gave the youngest nightmares! I loved it andvwatched it every time it was on!
Teacher -“Today class, we are doing book reports”
Narrator-“......
I love this episode with living and hungry house (S1/E19?)
Great series! Sucks Hulu took it off.
I really wish we could get the unrated version on Blu-Ray.....This still comes on in syndication on Comet
