Radio's premier series of adult science fiction tales, preceded briefly by
the little known and soon-forgotten Two
Thousand Plus. The series demonstrated that
adding a picture to a story of vision, illusion, or
myth does not automatically enhance things. The TV
tube is too small, the props too artificial to compete
with the landscape of the mind. The point of origin
for many of these tales was Astounding Science
Fiction Magazine, a market use by the best writers
in the field. With adapted tales from George Leffert,
Fredric Brown, Heinlein, Ray Bradbury and adaptations
by Ernest Kinoy, the fifty half-hour shows are all
classic sci-fi entertaining pieces.
