“Sci-Fi oldies” My only disappointment with this is that there are a couple of episodes that won’t play. I’ve cleaned the disc, but to no avail. I loved the series as a kid, and I still love it. I’d be interested if others who’ve purchased this have the same problem.

The Outer Limits Original Series Box Set
I am very happy with the quality and content of this box set the price was fair. Over all what I have seen of the first two discs the story lines are well written and I see where some of today’s science fiction writers have gotten their ideas from. Some great reminiscing, as I was very young when the series originally aired so I really did not catch to many of the original shows. You can really see how much special effects have progressed, as it is hard to laugh when you see the strings in the “levitation ” during “The Man with the Power” episode. …more info

Outer Limits 45th Anniversary Edition
A single release of this 60’s SciFi series was a welcome addition to my DVD video collection.

A recent visit to the local best buy clocked the series at nearly $100 for the three individual volumes. BB had this new single set priced at a savings of 50%.

I was impressed with crisp clean EZ to use menus. The B/W video and Mono audio quality was excellent.

I did miss bonus extras, and the lack of closed captions for those of us with less than perfect hearing was also sorely missed.

Others have mention problems with the double sided discs. My toshiba DVD player had NO such troubles. Either disc quality has improved, or maybe these other people just need to upgrade their hardware.

While the “monster” FXs are very dated, the stories have held up well over the years. All in all, enjoyable to watch.

4 stars.

Disappointed
I picked this set up at Best Buys on December 20. The picture was crisp and the sound fine until Episode 3 on Disc number 1. The picture started sticking and the audio disappeared all together. I replaced this set with a new one at a different store. All was good until episode 3 on disc 2 exhibited the same problem. I do have a relatively new DVD player with progressive scan and still had this problem. Having watched this series religiously as a child I was so excited when this box set was released and now so disappointed. In this case 3rd time is not the charm and I now have a store credit….more info
