The Outer Limits debuted on Monday, September 16, 1963 on ABC. Although this imaginative science fiction anthology series was cancelled midway through its second season, it gained a good cult following and proved to be highly influential.
The show had several truly fine episodes.
The Wikipedia article is very informative.
Many of the episodes are available online.

Hulu has all of them for free if you can stand the commercials.
I especially love seeing the pristine new cars of that era among other things.

It can’t be that old, because that would make me _ _ and I’m not that old.

One of the few SF shows that had episodes written by real SF writers. The episode “Demon with the Glass Hand” was written by Harlan Ellison, IIRC.

Loved Outer Limits and Twilight Zone.

With Robert Culp. And Ellison sued James Cameron for stealing the idea for THE TERMINATOR. Won a judgment, I believe.
I never missed an episode.

The one episode I remember most vividly as a kid is the one where the main character, played by David McCallum, invented a machine that would "evolve" a person to what a human would be like X years in the future.
He ended up "evolved" thousands of years in the future and had a huge head and could read a book in a few seconds.

Yes, that one scared the hell out of me when I was a kid. Also the face at the end of Star Trek that Ron Howard’s brother played.

I tried many times to watch the ‘Outer Limits’ but on every occasion I’d have trouble viewing it. If it wasn’t problems with the transmission, it would be the vertical hold. And if that didn’t cause distractions the horizontal hold would go haywire, so I just gave up.

Geeez!!!!
That was because THEY controlled the horizontal. THEY controlled the vertical. etc... Do not attempt to adjust your set. But YOU tried.
