Thanks, AudioHead. I'm asssuming your list refers to the original series from the '60s and not the inferior '90s version. If so, baby boomers who were into sci-fi should have fond memories of this one-of-a-kind show ("We control the horizontal...").
I recall bits and pieces of several episodes that really made an impression in my hormone-overloaded mind at the time. What was that gooey thing in the attic in that weird house and what was it doing to the stupid old people downstairs? At the end of another episode, the space alien who got sucked into Cliff Robertson's radio tells Earthlings, "Go home and ponder the wonders of the Universe." Great advice, especially today.

The gooey thing in the attic was featured in the episode, "Don't
Open Till Doomsday", producer/writer Joseph Stephano was being
self-indulgent here, not one of the better episodes,(or one of his individual efforts.) However, the
episode will no doubt appeal to some because of certain individual
performances, photography,music, etc.
The Cliff Robertson episode was "The Galaxy Being", the pilot
episode that impressed ABC execs enough to air the sci-fi series (the odds
were initially against it). Also, see my short review on Schow's
superb reference volume, "The Outer Limits Companion" at www.amazon.com - Enjoy, AH

  "We are in control of your TV set...." Still sends chills up my spine. It's on cable, I think around my area on the Sci-Fi channel..but, but! They truncate or completely cut out a few scenes (argh!)to make room for more blip-verts? Argh!
  - Scene Cutting..... - AudioHead 08:09:50 04/12/03 (0)
    Believe that a torture scene (the pain recipent being POW Major Jong
    ^James Shigeta^ - his arm was mangled) was cut from "Nightmare" aired on Sci-Fi Channel.
    Do you remember seeing the scene? - AH
