No comparisons…
Both TV shows were great in their own right.
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

You couldn't be more wrong.

'
TTZ
' is more POPULAR…BUT '
TOL
' is better QUALITY.

Can we agree that they're both better than much of what makes up television these days?
yes indeed!

They're both great shows. I love both, but they're quite different. TOL is more straight up science fiction, where TZ was a mix of fantasy , the unexplained, and occasional sci fi.

TZ was a great show but took itself too seriously, as did dear Rod Serling. Certain TZ eps are unwatchable because they are so preachy or because the acting is so hammy.
TOL was more fun and, as is often said, the hour format made for better storytelling. Of course the production values were not as good as the TZ. But I find that gives the TOL a certian charm that the TZ lacks.

'
The Outer Limits
' was slightly better, imhfo! I love both shows, but I love 'TOL' a little more so than I love 'TTZ'.
I'll let you know when I come-up with a new signature,
.

You sound rather slow and unintelligent.

i loved the eerie, paranoid feeling that TOL gave us-as well as the nightmarish music of DOMINIC FRONTIER, who left after season 1

OL had more monsters and aliens than TZ. LOTS more. I think that made it different from TZ. I like both shows equally.

Oranges are good, but I like apples more.

I agree that Twilight Zone is better but, that does not mean Outer Limits sucks. Outer Limits has some great episodes!

TZ was kind of a buffet. Offering a well-crafted mixture of science fiction, allegorical fantasy, a few lighter-hearted fables, and one psychologtical thriller (starring Martin Landau) in equal measure.
But, in terms of straightforward sci-fi? I'd have to give the edge to OL.

IMHO it's comparing apples to oranges. I like them both but I must admit I LOVE the Zone,lol! Especially the marathon around New Years. OL was good also.

I second that. Both TZ & TOL were intelligent, atmospheric examinations of the human condition , as well as thoughtful, philosophical speculation. Each series took a different approach, making each one distinctive & more sharply focused on its chosen direction. No need to set them against each other in a ridiculous, artificial competition. I'm glad we have both series, because they both hold up beautifully half a century later.

Very well said, gbennett5.

They are brilliantly thoughtful, written, lit, shot and acted. There are
duds, and occasionally bad monster makeup, although the latter holds up
better than the horrible monster makeup in something like "Star Trek: The
Next Generation."
It is one of the most revered sci fi shows in history. If you don't get
it, or don't like it, don't watch it. But don't come here and troll about
it. At least not until you can compose a sentence that makes you look
older than a middle-school brat.

What is so intelligent about it? They've been dull and absurd.

I'll NEVER understand this need by some people to trash THE OUTER LIMITS in order to make THE TWILIGHT ZONE look better. It's so absurd, and unnecessary.

Yet again this RIDICULOUS comparison when OL was strictly cerebral
sci fi and TZ was fantasy-based. And TZ has a TON of awful episodes,
and I would argue that 95 percent of the fourth year (which ran a year)
was out and out dreadful. When TZ shone, it was - and remains -
captivating and stunning. But gawd, when it was bad it was BAD.
Both shows could be brilliant, but it is absurd to compare them.

Well put, StuOz.
"This show sucks" tells me all I need to know about the OP's maturity level and observational skills.

You're welcome, telgonus.

Thanks,MMC. Yes, different kinds of fruit; both taste good. Sometimes comparing things. whether food, films, television shows or music, can be fun, can lead to interesting conversations and insights.
