In my honest opinion this series have not aged well. Maybe it is because I do not have any fond childhood memories of the series that I do not think it is so lovely.There of course is some good episodes in the series but most of them seems in my opinion half baked and not really worked through. They presented an idea and then nothing more interesting happened.I know it is an old series but Tales of Tomorrow that is some year older had much better stories in most of the episodes.The series for me also had a problem it could not decide if it wanted to be realistic or pure sci-fi, and most episodes really only had story for about 10 minutes but lasted 25.So I suggest if seeing old sci-fi television watch TOT. There are good episodes in SFT but most is not worth the time for me at least.

I was only about 4 years old but I recall almost as if it were yesterday something I saw on the show. I remember Adolphe Menjou being associated with the show in some way as host or actor. In this memorable episode, a man was demonstrating a piece of metal foil produced by extraterrestrial technology. This "foil" could not be cut with scissors but even more amazingly, it could not be penetrated when a bullet was fired at it from point blank range. A third feature was that when it was balled up and tossed upon a table it would flatten itself out perfectly. ALL of these features were described by the rancher who took home pieces of the Roswell UFO crash site. In my thirties I read these details and remembered that I had seen this before on TV in the 1950's. To my mind, it seems that "someone" was releasing information about ET technology many many years before nearly any facts at all were released to the public. This TV episode took my thinking about UFO's far beyond the "mysterious lights of swamp gas". In addition to that, this alien foil would have served as a bit of physical evidence that skeptics would have to accept as irrefutable proof of the existence of UFO's. DOES ANYONE ELSE REMEMBER THIS EPISODE ????????? Please respond .......................

A 225 mph super-hurricane--a stone that froze ancient, terrified voices from Pompeii--the odd new neighbors from next door who vanished one night during an electrical storm!---What an impact these stories had on a 9 yr. old kid! I never forgot them. What a blast to be able to see these shows again. Thank you, Mr. Bradley for making them resonate for all these years!And what thought-provoking titles, too! And then of course, there was that theme music---!!

This terrific, imaginative sci-fi anthology TV series was the first intelligent, dramatic sci-fi anthology series made for television, and lasted two seasons, 1955-1957. It was produced by legendary sci-fi and nature film producer Ivan Tors, for Bernard Ziv, of ZIV-TV Productions, and featured well-written half-hour episodes, many based on sci-fi short stories from sci-fi pulp magazines of the 1940s and 1950s; what it lacked in visual effects was often made up for by fine writing, acting, production values and direction. Host Truman Bradley was perfect to announce each eerie story of the week, as well as add a few words at the end of each program on how science could solve a mystery. Underrated by today's standards, this was one of TV's finest dramatic series of the 1950s, featuring many famous B-movie stars in fascinating roles. Highly recommended!
