1963.
“There is nothing wrong with your television set…” Ha! That’s what you think!
The Friday, three days before the debut of “The Outer Limits” (the same day my mom picked up the Fall Preview issue of TV Guide) our Zenith TV tube blew! The panic! The despair!
Fortunately, my uncle came to the rescue, and so my grateful sisters and I got to watch the series premier on his console despite the eleventh-hour malfunction!
