   Trivia note:   
   The first (1955) season of SFT   
   was optimistically filmed in color.

   Trivia note:   
   The first "Out There" episode was titled "Outer Limit".   
   Aptly, the star of that episode (Wesley Addy)   
   later appeared in an "Outer Limits" episode.  ;-)

   Of the 85 ToT episodes, 40 are available on Hulu (see below).   
      
   >>> "Lights Out" (1946 & 1949-52)   
      
   "Lights Out" had a long prior history on radio   
   (1934-47).  Wikipedia has a substantial article   
   about the radio and TV series:

   Hulu has the first season of OSB.

   As noted above, Hulu has 40   
   "Tales of Tomorrow" episodes.   
      
   http://www.hulu.com/tales-of-tomorrow   
      
   (Hulu's ToT episode list is labeled "Season 1",   
   but actually includes 14 2nd-season eps.)   
      
   (Although the show pages may advertise "Hulu Plus",   
   currently these shows are available free for   
   web viewing without a subscription.)   
      
   Last year Hulu completed their Outer Limits   
   original series collection; all 49 eps are available.
