The granddaddy of them all, this series was aired live and featured a much higher sci-fi content than its lauded successors Twilight Zone and Outer Limits.

The series covered such stories as Frankenstein, starring Lon Chaney Jr. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea starring Thomas Mitchell as Captain Nemo, and many others featuring such performers as Boris Karloff, Brian Keith, Rod Steiger, Bruce Cabot, Franchot Tone, Gene Lockhart, Walter Abel, Leslie Nielsen and Paul Newman.



**NOTE**
Many episodes survive and are currently available on DVD, including the famous Chaney, Jr. appearance, during which he was reputedly so drunk that he thought he was in rehearsal during the live broadcast and, instead of smashing the breakaway furniture, gingerly put it back down while muttering "break later".
