Series Notes

In the U.S. the series first airs on the Showtime cable channel and later 
in syndication (where the second season should air in the Fall of 1996).
Showtime initially ordered two seasons of 22 episodes and has since
ordered two more seasons. The show has been doing well enough that the
executive producers are doing another series, Poltergeist: The Legacy,
which premieres April 21 on Showtime. The Outer Limits was planned from
the start to run in syndication and alternate versions of some scenes were
filmed to replace the ones shown on cable. In Canada it airs on the
SuperChannel. In the U.K. it is/has aired on BBC 2 and Sky One. Except for
the first double length episode, the running time of the episodes has been
44 minutes 20 seconds. More info on the series can be found:

Opening Narration

"There is nothing wrong with your television. Do not attempt to adjust
 the picture. We are now controlling the transmission. We control the
 horizontal, and the vertical. We can deluge you with a thousand channels,
 or expand one single image to crystal clarity and beyond. We can shape
 your vision to anything our imagination can conceive. For the next hour,
 we will control all that you see and hear."

"You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the
 deepest inner mind to the Outer Limits."

 18. "I Robot"   7/23/95

     After a robot kills its creator, do you put it in the scrapheap -
     or put it on trial? Dr. Charles Link has been murdered, and the
     prime suspect is a "synthetic human" called Adam. Because he "has
     been [like] a brother" to the scientist's daughter, she contacts
     lawyer Thurman Cutler to save him from being disassembled. Cutler's
     strategy hinges on proving Adam's humanity and earning him a trial.
     During the investigation, evidence comes to light that could ruin
     Cutler's career - and show Adam's humanity beyond a doubt.
