422.0. "New Outer Limits" by SWAM1::MEUSE_DA () Wed Jan 17 1996 19:57

    
    
    
    
    Fox TV started showing episodes made for Showtime last season.
    Overall most have been quite good, and I always watch or tape.
    
    
    Still....they are not as good as the original "Outer Limits".

	I think the 2nd run episodes are in syndication as Ch. 4 out
	of Boston also airs the new series episodes on Sat. nights
	at 11:35pm.  When does Fox (assuming Boston affliate) run them?

> Still....they are not as good as the original "Outer Limits".

	I suppose not for those that watched the original series
	as first run episodes, but for someone like me whose too
	young for that and hence has seen them only as re-runs
	and has been over-exposed to Sci-Fi TV shows, I quite enjoy
	the new series and actually find them better.  My favorite
	episode so far I believe is "I, Robot" co-staring and directed
	by Lenny Nimoy.

	I read in the newspaper that Showtime will soon be starting a
	new season of the series.  I don't know how long it will take
	for those episodes to get syndicated out for those of us who
	do not subscribe to Showtime .....

    Yes, they've started another season.
    
    I suspect some of the episodes from the first season may not make it to
    broadcast TV, or if they do they'll be hacked to shreds... Like the
    episode where an alien entity enters a girl's body and turns her into a
    homicidal sex maniac. Some of them have been pretty graphic...

    Fox TV in Los Angeles is channel 11. Outer limits is on at
    6pm Sunday night, right before Space:Above and Beyond.
    
    Oh I like this series a lot. But as a kid, watched the 
    original Outer Limits...and it was very original way back then.

422.4Flash back episodeVAXCPU::michaudWilliam ShatnerMon May 06 1996 18:435
	Well last weeks episode (refering to the syndicated run, vs.
	the 1st run on Showtime) was finally a new one, but kind of
	a rip off.  It was a "flash back" type episode where they
	refered to and showed clips from seven (7) previous episodes
	that had run this season.  I hope it wasn't the season finale :-(
