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. -- Wes Struebing I pledge allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America, and to the republic which it established, one nation from many peoples, promising liberty and justice for all.
