   Before I watched it I saw the names in the description and wondered at   
   the list.  As I watched it I realized it was about the people far more   
   than it was about the shows.   
      
   When it mentioned the other shows that Irwin Allen produced I was   
   impressed as I was a fan of a lot of them.  I got why he was in the   
   list.  I recognized his name.   
      
   When The Outer Limits was mentioned in this post it occured to me that I   
   had no idea who had produced either the BW or color versions.  Maybe   
   they didn't even have a single person in charge?  So I looked up the   
   original BW show in IMDB.  I didn't remember Leslie Stevens.  Then I   
   started reading the list of his other credits.  Wow.  Both of the OL   
   series and a bunch of other stuff.  Very impressive.   
      
   But it remains that before looking him up in IMDB I did not recognize   
   his name while I recognized Irwin Allen just from it being listed   
   together with Gene Roddenbury and Rod Sterling.  For a show about the   
   people, name recognition matters.   
      
   I'll go with disappointed but I do understand why he wasn't in the list.
