Description
There is nothing wrong with your television. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. The complete first season of THE OUTER LIMITS, Sci-Fi's critically-acclaimed and most original series, is finally available on DVD! Like the classic 1960's series of the same name, each episode is an imaginative exploration of humanity's greatest hopes and darkest fears and include special guest appearances by Alyssa Milano, Ryan Reynolds, Rae Dawn Chong, Beau Bridges, Rebecca De Mornay and Robert Patrick. Winner of the Cable Ace Award for best Dramatic Series, this Emmy nominated show deals with the consequences of such controversial and thought-provoking topics as genetic manipulation, alien visitation and life after death.

 No Sound On DVD January 6, 2009

This Outer Limits series is great except two of the episodes do not have sound on the product that I received.
Excellent Show! November 30, 2008

I loved season 1. Where are the rest of the seasons??? Any idea when it'll be coming out?
 The "new" Outer Limits tries very hard... November 19, 2008
Geoffrey F. Arnold (Hillsboro, Oregon USA)
... and even succeeds in some ways to carry on the spirit of the original show. Production values are vastly improved due to computers and the story telling is consistently "good", in the sense that they don't dip below a good baseline standard of acceptability.
It took me a number of episodes when it aired to get into it. Liking Sci-Fi as I do, I was willing to let it find itself. And for the most part, if you stop seeing this as an updated version and begin to allow it to be what it is, the ideas offered, though a bit preachy and biased in some story lines, are well presented and worthwhile in their own right.
I own this, so that should tell you. However, after the third or fourth season, the show began to get pretty lax in their diligence to strive for excellence, having fewer and fewer compelling stories to tell. Oh well. So go for the first few seasons and leave the rest to the dust bin.

Showtime aired several great sci-fi series, such as: The Outer Limits, Star Gate SG1, Jeremiah, and Odyssey 5; these series were all ended prematurely. The Outer Limits ran six seasons on Showtime, to be picked up by the Sci-fi Channel for a final seventh season. Star Gate SG1 ran five seasons on Showtime, to be picked up by the Sci-fi Channel for another five seasons; Star Gate SG1 also saw the rise of a successful spin off series, Star Gate Atlantis, and two movies. Jeremiah ran two seasons on Showtime, but the producers saw the end coming and gave the story a decent resolution; the Sci-fi Channel is currently airing this series. Like The Outer Limits, which is missing the last six seasons on DVD, MGM has still to release the second and final season of Jeremiah on DVD. Odyssey 5 ran one season on Showtime, to be axed without a nice resolution but it was rushed to DVD.
Roughly translated, don't bother watching science fiction on Showtime (even though it's great) until another network picks it up; and don`t hope for a complete release if MGM's in charge.

Where is Season 2 and the rest of the series? This excellent series does not deserve to languish!
The studio's need to heed consumer interest. Please add to these ratings as the studio's do take them in to account.
Standing by.....as usual.
