Hokey, cheap special effects, yes, especially those giant ants!! BUT! Still one of the scariest, most atmospheric shows ever to run on network television. As an adult looking back to the show that frightened me so much as a child, it's fascinating to see the early work of great actors like Duval, Landau, Sheen, Shatner, Nimoy, the guy who played Lou Grant, I could go on and on. I don't know what else I could say without repeating what has been already said, has anyone mentioned the music that played at the end credits in the first season? My favorite episodes are The Inheritors, and the pilot, The Galaxy Being. The negative shot of the monster walking through the pawnshop past the hanging guitars was a genius use of the limited special effect techniques available at the time.
