This show reminds me of the astronaut that came back to earth to only find out that, NOW BRACE YOURSELVES I DON'T WANT ANY YT VIEWERS TO PANIC, Ok, Ahum WHAT THE BIO CHEMIST DID BACK IN OUR TIME FRAME @ Ahum, "MONSANTO" did to the worlds food crops that lead to HUMAN civilizations demize, now how profetic can that be. ; ) =-O : X
"There is nothing wrong with your television... You know it's a good show when it starts out with a thought-provoking commentary. They really DON'T make 'em like they used to.
As a kid, the first time i saw Martin Landau as the mutant Andro scared the daylights out of me, then i saw Shirley Black as Noell, dang was she beautiful back then, everything seemed fine after that.
thats what I liked about old tv shows like this is that they make you think. but no today they just want to entertain you and flood your head with tv commercials.
can you dig this guy,no life support whatsoever,he comes out with a snub nose 38,hes wearing a motocross helmut ,and did you see the size of michigan?from the ship?hell it was almost all you could see,but the biggest laugh was that creature with the justin bieber hair doo woh,haaaaaaa to much im still laughing,anyway see ya in the future.
I'm 60yrs old & as a 8-10 yr old kid I remimber the lighted billboards atop buildings showing @ the time the ABC TV's OL's prog w/ Andro's famous image of him looking dwn from that high V shaped stone that he was observing the astronaut from & back then even that simple image was scarey, a lot of the props of that show was recirculated on other OL's epps, however the astronaut could have been a area 51 type, "NOTICE NO INSIGNIA ON HIS UNIFORM OR CRAFT PLUS PACKIN HEAT, special OP's.
I used to work construction back in 97 on a project just off 5th st & spring or what they the crack addicts in gen refferd to as the nickle because of its cheap drug trading activities, but to the point mates I met on crack fend that approached me for money once THAT 2 ME LOOKED JUST LIKE ANDRO w/ the face, limp & all & you know what "NO ONE AROUND FOUND HIM STRANGE @ ALL"So I'm sayin "Dam have times changed !.
@SuperZenozeno yea times have changed,from innocence to garbadge,if we were still like that we may have had hope for this sewer of a planet,that show might be funny,out of date?but it also may be more accurate than we think?id loved to go back again,i was 3 years old then,cause im sure disappointed in the present.
Andro has way way much more smarts than those crank & crack heads out there that's shuffuling along on our urban streets here in PRESENT DAY america whom if you look closer @ them is much much worse off physicly & psycologicly than my friend andro any day of the earths calender yr, @ least andro can shape shift which is a great advantage on our world & he was not a reptilian.
this intro is iconic in the tv world,the 60s was the most creative ever,there was so much originality which l suppose is inevitable bearing inmind it was still growing as an entertainment,media,, the so called modern digi tv is very clever, but im afraid not original,,,60s rule,,,
"BINGO", you've hit the nail right on the head so to spk my friend, & we still do not know the results of GMO's (geneticly modified organisms), or "GENETICLY MUTATED ORGANISMS" my term, so time will tell regarding this modern day diabolical food growing tech monsanto is involved with, so yes indeed this could be a verry verry prolific early to mid 60's Sci/Fi TV show.
Hey, I never realized that astronauts carried guns with them! Got a kick out of seeing him come out of the sapceship holding that gun. Loved this show when I was a kid, they showed reruns of it on Saturday afternoons in the mid-late 60s, along with One Step Beyond. Saturday afternoons were great back then, they were always showing sci-fi-type movies or shows. If it had to do with outer space or any type of giant creature, or basically anything scary (to a kid in the 60s), I was watching.
@JamesonBondy Dancing with the Stars & Survivor ??? Is this your selection of quality TV? A decade or two down the road these shows will be swept into the dustbin of history...& those individuals who admitted to watching these "shows" will have to keep quiet so as not to be harassed & looked onto with derision. OL however will survive well past the point where your "favorites" are long gone & forgotten.
MGM Digital Media seems to be removing some of the original Outer Limits. Even some I watched just a few days ago are no longer available. Yet, this and some others still remain. Does anyone else know anything about this?
recuerdo a toda mi familia reunida para ver estos programas.no nos lo perdiamos,yo tenia 7 años y me acuerdo perfecto de los capitulos,yo creo que por la edad que tenia me impactaban y por eso los tengo tan grabados como si fuera ayer...
well I've must have seen every one of these a hundred times. I was a young boy when this show first came on. later on ch 11 in LA showed re-runs every weekend.
The thing that distinguishes the "Outer Limits" and makes it relevant and enjoyable a half century after its creation is its reliance on and respect for the story.
They give you a monster or an alien when required, but always to serve the story - not take its place. The scares are just to keep you paying attention while the show delivers its ideas to your brain.
This ep is just "it" IMHO. I saw it originally as a kid, then grew up and began loving it even more. Luckily, and my total coincidence, I talked with it's creator ANTHONY LAWRENCE by telephone about why he did it and did it influence the TERMINATOR, which I still think it does. I asked HArlan Ellison the same question.
Although its a cliche to say that yesterday was better than today - I can't but agree that we are not making great shows like this anymore. It's all remakes or reality TV shows. Don't get me started on the "I love 198_", "100 Greatest _" etc...
Thanks for reminding us what we've missed. Hopefully we'll turn things around someday.
This is a really good script and good performance by future Oscar winner Martin Landau. The mutation makeup, probably by John Chambers features superficial deformations, not gross skeletal deformations like the mutant baby at the end of Wrong Turn 2.
At 4:13 or so you see the model which served as the "inspiration" for what I call World War IV Plaza in Albany in New York State, a/k/a The Empire State Plaza.
I'm 60. I remember The Outer Limits from when I was in high school. The background music for this particular episode, The Man Who Was Never Born, is poignant and elegiacal, grieving a lost life together that can't ever happen between star-crossed lovers separated by time and space. Isaac Asimov claimed that it was theoretically impossible to travel in time, but it's interesting and romantic to speculate about the possibility. Done the Outer Limits way, one could even say it's edifying.
damn right!! now a days people make big bucks showing off their big asses on tv, they have no talent but they sure have a BIG-O-FAKE-ASS and make stupid things on tv... and no i'm not talking of Kim Kardashian.... sigh! stupid but very smart/greedy people making money on reality tv shows... waste of time for watching it.
@robharding1957 That's because most of today's entertainment TV is created for the stupid American public that want to see toilet humor, tailer trash drama, spoiled and slutty dressed women, and agressive muscle-head men.
@dewfall56 hey! i resemble that remark! :D seriously, i agree 200%. this laid the foundations for the Star Trek cycle. Dare I say it? Even the Outer Limits reboot of the 1980's fell short. alas. the collective frontal lobe of the viewership has atrophied
Bingo, your are so spot on with this, the OL's of the 60's was a verry thought provoking, profetic even, example "OBIT", "I ROBOT" & THE MAN WHO WAS NEVER BORN, & since the early to mid 60's look @ the advancements in computer tech, robotics, lasers ect that this show eriely portrayed w/ its other worldly deminsional creatures added into the mix for Excitment, I can thk of no modern day Sci/Fi show on 2days budgets can do what Stevens & Stafano did back then on a shoestring budget.
@SuperZenozeno Thanks. IMO today's shows and movies focus way too much on special effects, CGI, thrills, and model-turned-actor types who indeed look great, but couldn't act to save their lives. All that eye candy becomes blasé very quickly. Like you say back in the 60's, budget were very tight. A lot of the time all show creators and producers had to work with was the story, the acting, a few props and makeup. So, they had to focus on making those things great. It's a lesson for today.
I remember seeing this episode when it first aired many years ago and it's still fantastic. Landau is terrific in the role. After so many years it is still, in my opinion ,an exceptional series created by brilliant writers. You don't get better then this. Better than the trash your seeing on today's television.
You'd think he would have been a little more shocked when he first saw that weird little man. They just started talking like they knew eachother right away.
Thanx buddy, saw part one of The Outer Limits and The man who was never born,....can't wait to watch the rest! btw, the gruesome-faced man words kinda match the present day technological advances we have,...kinda spooky, like these dudes could see into the future!=)
if time really was a traight line, you´d think at some point someone invented time travel. maybe 2000 years from now (doesn´t it sound crazy? someone still alive?)
and we would have time travellers somewhere.
I think theres an infinite number of dimensions, with infinite possibilities for everything. a fly going left instead of right(fe).
if someone goes to the past he goes to an identical world except he is there, its not the same place! they who sent him never see him again.
"Science Fiction Theater" was an anthology TV series in the early 1950s, but its stories were much more "nuts and bolts" hard science, more grounded in reality, than either "Twilight Zone" or "Outer Limits."
i have always loved this show!..here, as children, we were introduced to martin landau,martin sheen, cliff robertson,robert culp, but we didnt know that yet!look what they went on to do. this was the root.such emotion goes through me about tol, the combination of fear and excitment, almost at the same time, as i watched.i know today, these are dated, but if you suspend all that and watch as new.....its fantastic again!the original outer limits WAS IT...im still waiting.
Here I am watching this again, I wonder how many times I've seen it, remember the first in 1963 and the many times it was re-run. Still like it today just as must today as when I first saw it.
It's strange that the only scene I remember from this show is the library- I was probably about 6 when I saw this. No one makes stuff this imaginative these days.
Check out the book Time Machines by Paul J. Nahin he says it is theoretically possible to travel into the future according the theory of relativity. By traveling in a rocket ship fast enough and far enough one could return to earth hundreds of years later.
Interesting how the control voice's introduction has nothing at all to do with the story. ...here in the starry nowhere a man can be at peace? The story is about Andro and Noel, not about the astronaut, etc.
The astronaut shouldn't be surprised by the time difference. If he was moving through the universe faster than Earth, then time would pass more slowly for him than for the people on Earth. And the greater the difference in speed, the greater the difference in time. This is known as Time Dilation. Albert Einstein proved it first. And many scientists have confirmed it since then.
He went through a some kind of portal that allowed him to pass between the past and future. Time dialation only allow going into the future at a faster rate; not back and forwards!
linuxguru1968, I watched it again when I was more awake and you are right about the portal. But actually, it would be possible to go back in time if you could travel faster than the speed of light. But even you could figure a way to accelerate to that speed you would need to deal with the problem of having infinite mass when you reach the speed of light.
I was four years old when I first saw this in '63. I remember that when Martin Landau popped out from behind the rock, I almost blacked out from shock. My parents not only let me watch the Outer Limits every week; they watched it with me. Only as an adult did I realize how thoughtful some of the stories were.
no mate just a typo thing. u septic tanks notice every little detail don't u? I'll bet those beady little eyes light up when u see a typo!! Jeez thanks for tellin me, i might have embarrassed myself but 4 your timely post. Gee gosh golly & by heck thanx again, buddy!!
u seem like a nice bloke - at least u haven't abused me yet so i'll be xtra nice & tell u abt aussie slang (colloquial). i wasn't making a toilet joke at yr expense & pls excuse me if u already knew but septic tank is rhyming slang for yank, a linguistic quirk we share with london cockneys who invented it as a means of privacy in their speech, just like the gibberish that rap & hip hop people use. no one outside the group gets to know what u say...
Yes, thank you, I was already well aware of the meaning of "septic tank" and the whole rhyming-slang thing. I believe you Aussies sometimes shorten it to "seppo," if I'm not mistaken.
I think the idea was to focus on the story and not get bogged down in meaningless details or tech-speak -- an affliction suffered by "Star Trek: the Next Generation" and its spinoffs.
I saw this episode for the first time today. Thought it was like Beauty And The Beast, when the bride to never be decided she loved the hideous mutant who tried to look handsome.

so your telling me that the newer outer limits version is not better than the old outer limits version????

I remember seeing this episode when it first aired many years ago and it's still fantastic. Landau is terrific in the role. After so many years it is still, in my opinion ,an exceptional series created by brilliant writers. You don't get better then this. Better than the trash your seeing on today's television.

I like all this old 50 60's shows better then the modern ones. This and the Twilight Zone the original is the best. :)

You'd think he would have been a little more shocked when he first saw that weird little man. They just started talking like they knew eachother right away.

if time really was a traight line, you´d think at some point someone invented time travel. maybe 2000 years from now (doesn´t it sound crazy? someone still alive?)
and we would have time travellers somewhere.
I think theres an infinite number of dimensions, with infinite possibilities for everything. a fly going left instead of right(fe).
if someone goes to the past he goes to an identical world except he is there, its not the same place! they who sent him never see him again.

Fans of the dreadful series _Falcon Crest_ may recognize the astronaut. Actor Karl Held played "Garth" on FC & was if I recall correctly a butler.

what was the similar theme show which came before Twilight?
ACTORnSCREENWRITER 3 years ago
I don't know...do tell.
AngryAgain 3 years ago
I think that might be Science Fiction Theatre-that was from the 40s, then came Twilight Zone, and then the Outer Limits.
TheFishHasExploded 3 years ago
This show is the 1960s version of "the Outer Limits," by the way. The series was also remade in the 90s and new episodes were produced until 2005.
TheFishHasExploded 3 years ago
"Science Fiction Theater" was an anthology TV series in the early 1950s, but its stories were much more "nuts and bolts" hard science, more grounded in reality, than either "Twilight Zone" or "Outer Limits."
scotpens 3 years ago
You might be thinking of "One Step Beyond". That show came a little bit before "The Twilight Zone" did.
TheWuCepticon3 3 years ago
Yeah, I think you may be correct. I just saw the intro... Man like Twilight Zone

I always think of this episode when I pass Landau Street in Palm Springs. I assume it was named after Martin Landau.
This is one of my favorite OL episodes. The story and soundtrack are great.

i have always loved this show!..here, as children, we were introduced to martin landau,martin sheen, cliff robertson,robert culp, but we didnt know that yet!look what they went on to do. this was the root.such emotion goes through me about tol, the combination of fear and excitment, almost at the same time, as i watched.i know today, these are dated, but if you suspend all that and watch as new.....its fantastic again!the original outer limits WAS IT...im still waiting.

It's strange that the only scene I remember from this show is the library- I was probably about 6 when I saw this. No one makes stuff this imaginative these days.

Check out the book Time Machines by Paul J. Nahin he says it is theoretically possible to travel into the future according the theory of relativity. By traveling in a rocket ship fast enough and far enough one could return to earth hundreds of years later.

I FOUND 1 & 2. It's titled different. THis is great. This one influenced the Terminator.

Interesting how the control voice's introduction has nothing at all to do with the story. ...here in the starry nowhere a man can be at peace? The story is about Andro and Noel, not about the astronaut, etc.

The astronaut shouldn't be surprised by the time difference. If he was moving through the universe faster than Earth, then time would pass more slowly for him than for the people on Earth. And the greater the difference in speed, the greater the difference in time. This is known as Time Dilation. Albert Einstein proved it first. And many scientists have confirmed it since then.
ClamLuvr 4 years ago
Yeah, but this was the 60s. Were there all that many people who even knew about time dilation back then?

d3gn4hc 3 years ago
He went through a some kind of portal that allowed him to pass between the past and future. Time dialation only allow going into the future at a faster rate; not back and forwards!
linuxguru1968 3 years ago
linuxguru1968, I watched it again when I was more awake and you are right about the portal. But actually, it would be possible to go back in time if you could travel faster than the speed of light. But even you could figure a way to accelerate to that speed you would need to deal with the problem of having infinite mass when you reach the speed of light.

I was four years old when I first saw this in '63. I remember that when Martin Landau popped out from behind the rock, I almost blacked out from shock. My parents not only let me watch the Outer Limits every week; they watched it with me. Only as an adult did I realize how thoughtful some of the stories were.

scotpens 4 years ago
u seem like a nice bloke - at least u haven't abused me yet so i'll be xtra nice & tell u abt aussie slang (colloquial). i wasn't making a toilet joke at yr expense & pls excuse me if u already knew but septic tank is rhyming slang for yank, a linguistic quirk we share with london cockneys who invented it as a means of privacy in their speech, just like the gibberish that rap & hip hop people use. no one outside the group gets to know what u say...
slessorpr 4 years ago
Yes, thank you, I was already well aware of the meaning of "septic tank" and the whole rhyming-slang thing. I believe you Aussies sometimes shorten it to "seppo," if I'm not mistaken.

I think the idea was to focus on the story and not get bogged down in meaningless details or tech-speak -- an affliction suffered by "Star Trek: the Next Generation" and its spinoffs.
