"There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image; make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur, or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: There is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to THE OUTER LIMITS."

Week after week for 2 seasons (1963-1964) this science fiction anthology series – inspired by the success of Rod Serling's Twilight Zone – amazed and entertained with superior scripts, Emmy winning performances, and unabashed science fiction wierdness. The Zanti Misfits from 1963 has become one of the best known episodes, possibly because TV Guide listed it as the 4th best television show out of its 100 All Time Best. By today's standards the visual effects in the Zanti Misfits are crude but like many of the effects created for the show they seemed adequate for early 1960s TV.
