3.0 out of 5 stars
Double Sided Disk Woes!, January 1, 2008
This review is from: The Outer Limits (Original Series) - Volumes 1 - 3 (DVD)
It was good to see the old (Original) Outer Limits episodes. Unfortunately, there is still significant improvement needed in the double sided DVDs. Volume TWO was NOT watchable for the episode "Behold,ECK!". I was able to work over the disk and get the other three episodes to play on that side of the disk. I wish the series was available on single sided disks. TOO bad!

I, Robot and The Inheritors doesn't play here either, November 29, 2007
This review is from: The Outer Limits (Original Series) - Volumes 1 - 3 (DVD)
Update here too. I found two of the sides in volume 3 were defective. Amazon makes it easy to return and get a replacement. I was a little uneasy thinking the replacement would be the same, but they have to wait for a new shipment, and J from NY said that MGM was aware of the problem. I am sorry to have to return the entire 3 volume set as 45 of the episodes seem fine, although who knows.
My Original review message here:
I had just started to watch this series from the beginning and was enjoying it when I read a review saying Vol 3 disc 2 still doesn't work. Well, I put mine disc into 2 different players and neither of them would play this disc. There are 6 double sided discs in this package Plus an extra disc in the Volume 3 Disc 2 box which has and extra disc that has only "The Probe" on side B, and The Inheritors pt 2 and Keeper of the Purple Twilight" on side A
It's quite confusing, but instead of getting 49 hour episodes, we get 47. I'm hoping MGM or whoever will make amends to thous of us who have defaulty discs, but I'm not holding my breath

4.0 out of 5 stars
A great series on DVD, but has some flaws, December 23, 2007
This review is from: The Outer Limits (Original Series) - Volumes 1 - 3 (DVD)
The Outer Limits has always been my favorite TV show which I was glad to finally have on DVD. I would give this product 5 stars if all of the episodes made the transfer to digital well, but "The Man Who Was Never Born" "Nightmare" "Second Chance" "Moonstone" and "The Special One" have scenes which look snowy. Also some of the problems with the original MGM/UA set still exist in some discs. Hopefully in time, 20th Century Fox will address all these issues because this series deserves better.
