Best TV Science Fiction ever?

Sorry to take up nearly two hours of your time, but these two episodes of the original Outer Limits series may represent the absolute best example of made-for-TV science fiction ever. Great script with Robert Duvall doing a fine job underplaying his role as a government agent. The ending is absolutely heart-breaking. The black-and-white photography is perfect for the story as well.


I've always preferred The Twilight Zone to Outer Limits, but Limits was a great show as well and "The Inheritors" arguably edges out even the best of the Zone.

  1. Tim, since you posted this, Adobe Flash Player has gone defunct - which episode besides "The Inheritors" do you recommend?

    1. "Fun and Games," starring Nick Adams, is another good one.
