Did you know

• The original title for this series was "Please Stand By," but because the Cuban Missile Crisis had happened less than a year earlier, executives thought it might make people fearful of an air raid. As a reference to this, when The Outer Limits (1995) would cut to a commercial, the Control Voice said, "Please stand by."

• The first season finale, The Forms of Things Unknown (1964) (starring David McCallum, Vera Miles, Cedric Hardwicke, and Barbara Rush), was supposed to be a pilot that series creator Joseph Stefano presented to network executives. When it was rejected, he used it as an episode of this series.

• Many scenes and some entire episodes of the series were filmed on-location at series creator Joseph Stefano's house, called "Villa Di Stefano," from which the production company took its name.
