• Way Out

    From Mike Powell@454:3/105 to ALL on Thursday, June 06, 2024 09:36:00
    The other day the YouTube algorithm got something right again and stared suggesting to me old episodes of a CBS program called Way Out. It was a mid-season replacement fashioned to fill the other half of the hour that included the all-time classic, The Twilight Zone.

    I have watched a couple of episodes. One about a man who is dying that
    gets talked into perserving his brain -- alive -- in a jar for scientific research. The other was about a scientist who is testing a mood
    modification technique on small mammals that is persuaded to test it on his wife.

    Both of them were pretty good. If you are a fan of the TV comedy, "WKRP in Cincinnati," which aired roughly 20 years later, there was a bit of irony
    in the second episode mentioned above. The actor who plays assistant to
    the scientist performing psychological experiments in Way Out would make a guest appearance on WKRP as a child psychologist with some fringe beliefs.
    <grin>

    If you are into older TV sci-fi offerings, like the Twilight Zone, Tales of Tomorrow, the Outer Limits, or One Step Beyond, I would suggest checking
    this one out.

    Mike
