4.0 out of 5 stars
Yesterday's tomorrows, volume 3,
By
This review is from: Tales of Tomorrow, Collection 3 (DVD)
Pioneering sci-fi TV series TALES OF TOMORROW aired 85 episodes between 8/3/51 and 9/13/53 on the ABC-TV network. These half-hour stories often featured many famous Hollywood stars (like Boris Karloff, Franchot Tone and Burgess Meredith) as well as some up-and-comers (James Dean, Rod Steiger, Joanne Woodward, Leslie Nielsen). Special effects, props and scenery are minimal, yet this forerunner of TWILIGHT ZONE, THE OUTER LIMITS (and so many others) has a charm all its own.
The fourteen chapters on volume three are all from TOT's second season. Also available is TALES OF TOMORROW, COLLECTION ONE which contains 13 star-studded season #1 shows. CONTENTS include titles, original airdates and principal actors. DISC ONE-- Seeing-Eye Surgeon (9/5/52) - Bruce Cabot Youth on Tap (9/26/52) - Robert Alda/Harry Townes/Mary Alice Moore/Ralph Porter/Bernard Burke The Horn (10/10/52) - Franchot Tone Many Happy Returns (10/24/52) - Gene Raymond/Edwin Cooper/Flora Campbell/Clifford Sales/Richard Trask The Window (11/7/52) - Rod Steiger/Don Medford/William Coburn/Merle Albertson/Mort Abrahams/Frank Maxwell The Fatal Flower (12/12/52) - John Hammer The Bitter Storm (12/26/52) - Joanne Woodward/Arnold Moss/Phillip Pine DISC TWO-- Another Chance (2/13/53) - Leslie Nielsen/Robert Middleton/Virginia Vincent The Great Silence (2/20/53) - Burgess Meredith/Paul Ford/Lilia Skala/Charles McClelland/William Kemp/Glenn Styres The Fury of the Cocoon (3/6/53) - Nancy Coleman/Peter Capell/Cameron Prud'Homme/Fernande Gude Read to Me, Herr Doktor (3/20/53) - Mercedes McCambridge/Everett Sloane/Ernest Graves/William Kemp Ghost Writer (3/27/53) - Leslie Nielsen/Gaby Rodgers/Murray Matheson/Harry Mehaffey Past Tense (4/3/53) - Boris Karloff/John McGovern/Katherine Meskill/Robert F.Simon The Evil Within (5/1/53) - James Dean/Rod Steiger/Margaret Phillips

As TV was in 1952,

This review is from: Tales of Tomorrow, Collection 3 (DVD)
The people who will appreciate these episodes are oldsters who may be interested in seeing some of the stars of yesterday they remember. Such as seeing a young Leslie Nielsen.
Please be advised that these episodes were done live as plays, thus they were not filmed as the I Love Lucy show was done. Thus the picture quality is far from ideal, but still watchable. I only did this review for people who may have purchased a 3 episode set found in a $1 bargain bin, in a paper sleeve. These 3 episodes have a terrible picture quality and I didn't bother to watch. These 3 volumes are of a higher picture quality, but many people will still be put off. Lastly, each episode includes all of the commercials, so episodes run 29 minutes.

I have the first volumes of Tales of Tomorrow and despite the low budgets and sets that look accordingly the stories still captivate.
