... and doesn't seem quite as dated as most 60's era TV series. With only 17 episodes filmed the story arc remains fresh and varied; yes, I've seen them all.

One old SF series worth checking out on just released DVD is the 1st season of Outer Limits (i.e., early 60's, B&W); not all episodes are good, but the writing and execution of some are as powerful as the day they were filmed. If I'm not mistaken, Harlan Ellison's "Demon With a Glass Hand" should be one of the first season epsiodes featured. If you've never seen this, rent it if it's available to you. Outstanding story and program.

No problem.

Sorry about mistaking your hyperbole(?) for personal invective. I suppose anything filtered through the internet is subject to being misunderstood. Unfortunately, I kept trying to find some element of humor or cheekiness to your post, but none presented itself. We'll just chalk it up to miscommunication.
