1963–1965

Opening Narration: "There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We can reduce the focus to a soft blur, or sharpen it to crystal clarity. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... The Outer Limits." (voiced by Vic Perrin)

1995–2002

Opening Narration: "There is nothing wrong with your television. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are now controlling the transmission. We control the horizontal and the vertical. We can deluge you with a thousand channels or expand one single image to crystal clarity - and beyond. We can shape your vision to anything our imagination can conceive. For the next hour we will control all that you see and hear. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the deepest inner mind to... The Outer Limits. Please standby." (voiced by Kevin Conway)

Filmed in Vancouver, the new series was peppered with faces familiar to scifi fans including Amanda Tapping, Michael Shanks, Brent Spiner, Nicole de Boer, Marina Sirtis, Don S. Davis, Robert Patrick, and Teryl Rothery.

Writers included Jonathan Glassner who also directed several episodes, Matthew Hastings, and Mark Stern.
