Trivia

The Show

Kate Manx was the then-wife of creator/producer Leslie Stevens.

Due to the show's connection with The Outer Limits, I will point out actors/writers/directors that worked on the show whenever possible. This will be a bit of a work in progress, so please bear with me. Anyhow, there's Leslie Stevens, who of course created OL and was that series' Executive Producer, as well as a frequent writer and director for that series. Series regulars Warren Oates and Bruce Dern appeared on OL, Dern in the episode "The Zanti Misfits". Guest star Philip Abbott appeared in the episodes "ZZZZZ" and "The Borderland".
