   Well, "Outer Limits" did (or tried to do) a lot of video adaptations   
   of SF short stories.  "Harlan's "Demon with a Glass Hand" (very good   
   episode) is the one that immediately leaps to mind.   
   Can think of a couple others, but whose names don't come to   
   mind...(ISTR a couple Blish stories)   
   However, you'll get no argument from me about "Science Fiction   
   Theater"  It was always good, and some were very good.  Seminal, I'd   
   call it.
