List of The Outer Limits (1995 TV series) episodes Puns

I feel like this was a tv episode, although maybe a sort-of stand-alone series (like Twilight Zone or Outer Limits). It had a 90s look, and was (probably) created and set in the 90s. For some reason, I thought of the show Sliders immediately, but I don't know why. Maybe one of those cast members were in this episode I'm searching for, or maybe this is a Sliders episode and I'm just bad at internetting.

Here's the summary: A group of people (I'm guessing 5-7, but could be wrong) are in an office - or maybe a waiting room. There is a box on a table or desk. I'm assuming there's some king of warning on the box, but the people decide to open it anyway. After it's opened, there is thick fog right outside the office door. They cannot go out into the fog, although I'm not sure what the consequences were (sickness?, injury?, getting lost?). In the end, they make torches and decide to brave the fog together. Once clear of the fog, it's revealed they're standing on the desk, and had actually been trapped in the box the entire time.

Hey, so I think these might be episodes of the mid-90s Outer Limits, but I looked and none of the episodes looked right (plus I don’t remember any of them having aliens, so who knows). It could also be some other show that I can’t remember. I’m in no way guaranteeing they’re all from the same show either. But they’re all freaky type weird sci-fi episodes, so here we go. I will say that all of these are in color, so likely not original episodes of either show.

1. Easter egg hunt in a town park. There’s supposed to be a special egg with a special prize. A little girl (10ish, maybe younger) finds it: a metal patterned egg with a necklace or something inside. Then she starts following a deer further into the woods around the park and disappears.

I think she ends up coming back like 3 days later as an adult or something, but I really can’t remember. I mostly remember that because the park reminded me of my hometown, which is super not helpful to any of you.

2. Opening sequence is an older couple having dinner in the attic celebrating their anniversary. They call each other beauty and the beast. Then you find out they’re ghosts and have been “married” for something like 90 years and really just haunt the house when some new people move in. I forget what happens after that.

3. A woman is a cranky old bat that no one in her town likes, but she grows the biggest pumpkins for the fall festival (or she constantly loses, again, this is all kinda hazy).

She meets a person who sells her seeds for a giant pumpkin. All I remember is that the pumpkin ends up being the size of a house, and she needs to get it to the fair for judging, so she pulls it behind her car/carriage(??) to get to town. By the time she gets there, however, the thing has completely fallen apart and the only part left is the very top with the stalk and a little bit of the actual pumpkin itself, and everyone just stares at it/her. I think that’s the end.

Anyone who can help me with these will have my undying devotion. Thanks in advance!!

Like the title says. I remember seeing this episode as a younger child, possibly around 10 years old and I believe it was on the sci-fi fi network. One particular scene I remember was that the people were warping through the walls in her home to get her. When she wakes up your realize the people she was being harassed by and trying to kidnap her were her doctors trying to get her out of her coma. When she realizes everything, she steals a syringe and puts herself back in the coma permanently because she preferred the perfect life in her head than reality.

There's something special about short, one-off stories coming from a wide array of different writers and directors.

But it seems audiences these days expect an overarching plot and a immutable cast.

The modern variant of this format I can think of is shows like True Detective, where each season has its own story. It's sort of an intermediate format.

What do you guys think? Is there room for such things these days?

EDIT: As others pointed out, a great modern example of the format is Black Mirror. I forgot to mention it. Is there room for more?

I only remember one episode, which I saw around late 90s early 2000s I think.

The plot was a woman lived in this house in the country, with her dog. The area she lived in was not wooded, more rocky and hilly. She's doing something in her basement when she finds this large slab buried in the ground. She disturbs it and releases this demon who kills her dog and possibly some people who come visit. It is finally killed by a guy with a sword, might have been a sword cane, and it's hinted that he was a saint who arrived to protect her.

Would have been made in either 80's / 90's. I believe the people do not know they are inside the dome until half-way/end of the episode. I remember one of them walking up to the dome and talking to someone on the otherside of it.

Could be a knock-off show that did a similar thing to "Fact or Fiction?" shows. Thanks. New Zealand.

Comet tv is run like a tv station so there's a schedule. There's also a roku app now I think. US region locked? Works for L.A. servers.

So I don't remember much of this episode, but the premise was similar to The Purge where society endorses murder, but in this version there are 2 targets who have their faces broadcast to the public on large billboard sized tv screens. The targets in the episode were a man and a woman. The only other detail I remember is that cars were identical and had barcodes instead of license plates. Cars were socialized in that you could just go to a car station, hop in and drive off. There was no key, a knob instead for ignition.

Is this due to the rights issues they are having with MGM properties? Where can I find definitive answers to this?

A 90's TV series where they re-enacted 'true' ghost stories (I don't know how true they were). Similar sort of format to The Outer Limits.

If I remember correctly there would be about two or three stories in each episode. It wasn't 'cartoonish' ghost stories aimed at kids, I must've been about 8 or 9 and it scared the crap out of me!

There was one episode I remember where this guy's father had been an abusive alcoholic, and he died in a motorbike accident. Later, his son was working in the garage when the radio switched on on its own and it was his father repeating "I know why I died, I know why I died". Also, the house started leaking some kind of sludge, and the son went underneath the house to check it out. While he was crawling around he came face-to-face with his father's ghost underneath the house.

Another story (maybe the same episode) where a child's doll that could talk switches on in the night and starts saying "mama, mama, mama" and when they pull the batteries out it keeps talking. I think the children were attacked in their sleep and had bruises on their shins, and it turned out that the parents had drowned one of their children.

I know it's not much to go on, but if anyone could help me out I would be REALLY grateful.

If anyone has a list of episodes for just Sun and Moon, that be awesome. Cause otherwise, I have to scroll through the list and I'm still new to it.

Would really appreciate any help or ideas. Thanks

I remember reading on multiple sites including an eva-wiki that during the production of Eva the story went through massive revises. Is this at all true,and if so what was changed?

So I'm working on a program to rename video files in a series, and I need to find an efficient way to get a list of episodes for a series. Most wikis that have lists also contain plot synopses, which makes it hard to copy and paste.

Also I'm not sure whether this is the right subreddit to ask this lol.

Hey everyone, when I was a kid, early to mid-90s, I remember seeing something on TV that the adults were all watching:

A woman has escaped from someplace, robots (drones, maybe prison guards) are chasing after her. I think she dips behind a wooden fence in area or possibly down an alleyway.

She has a tattoo on her chest, I think it was purple and circular and this is how she is being tracked, so as her captors (robots, drones, prison guards) are catching up to her she begins to scratch at the tattoo to remove the skin from her body so she isn't caught.

This is all I remember, I've scoured the episode descriptions of the new outer limits but there isn't enough information to tell if it's one of those, but maybe someone out there is more familiar with the series or perhaps it's just some random scifi movie.

I think it is a great show.
Never saw the old Outer Limits/ twilight zone maybe i will one day, it just looks so dated also if im sure,the the storys are not dated.
Did Outer Limits just rip off Twillight zone?
BTW, I did notice while watching Black Mirror in the episode " Men Against Fire" that it was pretty much an Rip off of "The Outer Limits " Episode "Hearts and Minds" I can imagine that OL ripped of many stuff from TWZ as well.

"NewsRadio" is an American television sitcom that aired on NBC from 1995 to 1999, focusing on the work lives of the staff of a New York City AM radio news station. It had an ensemble cast featuring Dave Foley, Stephen Root, Andy Dick, Joe Rogan, Maura Tierney, Vicki Lewis, Khandi Alexander, and Phil Hartman in his final regular role before his death.

The series was created by executive producer Paul Simms and was filmed in front of a studio audience at CBS Studio Center and Sunset Gower Studios. The show's theme tune was composed by Mike Post, who also scored the pilot.

PLOT: The series is set at WNYX, a fictional AM news radio station in New York City, populated by a playful station owner and staff. The show begins with the arrival of a new news director, the level-headed Dave Nelson (Dave Foley). While Dave turns out to be less naive than his youthful appearance suggests, he never fully gains control of his co-workers.

The fast-paced scripts and ensemble cast combined physical humor and sight gags with smart dialogue and absurd storylines. Plots often involved satirical takes on historical events, news stories, and pop culture references. The third- and fourth-season finales took the absurdity to the extreme, setting the characters in outer space and aboard the Titanic.

There are a total of 97 episodes. Reruns continued in syndication for several years before disappearing in most markets, but the show has aired on A&E Network, Nick at Nite, and TBS network in the United States, and TVtropolis and the Comedy Network in Canada. In the United States, the show occasionally airs as a filler on WGN America and runs regularly on Reelz Channel. For several years starting in July 2007, the program was syndicated through The Program Exchange.

Runtime: about 22 minutes per episode

File size: ~5gb total (unknown resolution)

I feel like the show was during Christmas time and there were grandparents telling their grandkids that they had to be careful and not provoke the beast or it’d come kill them, and in the end it did, because you know, kids are dumb. Thx!

I have a huge collection of TV series and movies that I'd like to watch someday but that day hasn't come for a majority of them.

I can't bring myself to delete them, I always reason that a friend might want them or a relative, which is rarely the case. To make things worse I'm always downloading new content which I'm not even gonna watch.

First price drop. I picked this up a couple of weeks ago, and it’s still on sale. I’m not sure how long the sale will last. There is a Blu-Ray release. I hope the digital version eventually gets an HD upgrade, like The Twilight Zone.

In that episode, humans were basically kept in prisons by an alien race iirc, some guy decided he wanted to escape and got his arm cut off in the process, and I vividly remember episode ending with his female friend/love interest being shown on screen as slowly being transformed into an alien herself.

One Skit was computing for the cost of insurance of a man who takes a walk near a golf park. If he were to get hit with a golf ball, he wished to be paid 1 million dollars/pounds and the insurance broker computed the cost of the insurance. He also wanted his dog to be insured for the same 1 million dollars/pounds if the dog ever got hit and they computed the cost of insurance to be way lower than the man's insurance due to the size of the dog.

Another skit showed the monty hall problem where they walk to the streets and try to prove this to people. Those who change their answers got 5 dollars/pounds and those who didn't, touched worms.

I believe it ran on Discovery Channel Philippines and I can't recall if it was originally british tv?
