Summary: I can get creeped out by Outer Limits again!
Comment: I got this for my husband for Christmas this year and we are having a blast watching all these old episodes again. And even though they are 40 years old, they still manage to give me the heebie jeebies! My only complaint is that these disks are two-sided which I find pretty annoying. No matter which side I put in, inevitably, it's the wrong side for the episode I want.

Summary: Disappointed
Comment: 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.

Summary: Sci-Fi oldies
Comment: 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.

Summary: Outer Limits 45th Anniversary Edition
Comment: 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.

Summary: What an amazing 45 years
Comment: When my father first watched this, he would have been about eight or nine years old. Growing up myself, Outer Limits has been one of my classical favorites. What's even more amazing, is that after forty five years, this show is still considered great. Now my father is in his fifties and I'm in my twenties, and quite amazingly we still enjoy this show even after all this time. It's even more amazing that you can watch this movie nearly anywhere, from your laptop computer, to your dvd player at home. If anything, the very fact that you can watch this anywhere would have been science fiction at the time when Outer Limits first appeared. Outer Limits was very close to Twilight Zone, with the exception that it was an hour long (although Twilight Zone had a few hour long episodes), and most of the episodes were based on alien concepts, robots, or dimensional concepts. Like Twilight Zones, you see many famous actors/actresses appearing on the show. One comes to mind would be Leonard Nimoy in "I, Robot" which was a great episode.
I highly recommend this collection. You will enjoy it a lot. It is in the original black and white, and each episode is about fifty minutes long and you get forty nine episodes in total, the entire collection. There is one problem though, and that is the dvds are given in double sided dvds. Which is fine and all, but after so many usage, you get a lot of finger prints on one side or the other.
