OUTER LIMITS SEASON 2 1964-1965 (MGM)

One of the premier sci-fi shows on TV during the 60's was The Outer Limits. A while back I reviewed the first season, and now I present Season 2. The shorter and final season.

17 episodes comprise season 2, and one can tell the quality of the show was dropping, but there are still some gems in here.

THE INHERITORS PART 2 11/28/64...The conclusion to one of the best episodes ever aired for this show. I won't spoil it here for those that haven't seen it.

THE DUPLICATE MAN 12/19/64...Ron Randall stars as a man who duplicates himself in order to destroy a menacing monster.

COUNTERWEIGHT 12/26/64...An alien being unleashes fear and panic aboard a simulated space flight.

BRAIN OF COLONEL BARHAM 1/2/65...Anthony Eisley is a cripple and very bitter man who agrees to let his brain be put inside a robot for experiments in space flight. Grant Williams and Martin Kosleck also star.

THE PREMONITION 1/9/65...The first episode of the show I ever saw. A man and his wife are caught in a bizarre time dimension where everything stand still.

THE PROBE 1/16/65...An alien space probe captures a cargo plane flying to Tokyo.

Anyone watching these can tell that the quality was falling, but they all still make entertaining shows to watch from a golden era in TV.
