Science Fiction Theatre (1955–1957)
8/10
Available on DVD
13 February 2008
I've noticed lately that Science Fiction Theater is available on DVD for the entire run of the show. But it does look as if it's made from available sources. That usually means it could have a lot of poor quality images by being made from old VHS recordings. Just wondered if anyone has purchased the set, and if so, is it worth the money? I've seen it advertised at $49.99 from the source, which doesn't seem to be a mainstream distributor, and also on e-bay for prices about $29.99 stating that it is for new un-opened sets. But I guess at that price it would be worth it even if it isn't great quality.

It was always a treat to watch it back in 1956 and 1957. I think it was the first show of it's type that I had encountered. Watched it once and I was hooked. Had to see it every chance I got after that. Being only 8 years old in 1956, I still have fond memories of it. And as someone else mentioned the parabolic disc antenna, yeah, it caught my eye too. There was one almost exactly like it atop the Southern California Edison building in Pomona, California. I gazed at it every time my parents would drive past that building. Wondered what secrets it held!
