At long last, someone is releasing episodes of this classic show on DVD. More eerie than "Twilight Zone," this first release includes 12 episodes from the second and third seasons. (VCI promises more episodes are on the way.) The prints used in this first set are pretty good, and it's a treat to see the full 25- to 26-minute versions instead of the butchered ones that aired on the Sci-Fi Channel a few years ago. Some of these shows even have the original "Alcoa Presents" opening & closing titles. If you're a fan of "One Step Beyond," buy this set and hope that VCI releases all 96 episodes!

I happily received my 2-disc set of VCI's "One Step Beyond" Collection, Volume 1 in the mail today and after viewing 2 of the 12 episodes in the set, I can say without a doubt, as a huge fan of the show, that I am extremely happy and very glad I made the purchase.
The two episodes I watched were "Doomsday" and "The Inheritance". Both episodes were complete and uncut and including John Newland's "invitation" to join him for next weeks show, both episodes ran almost 25 and a half minutes. The quality was very good in the V/A department, at least compared to episodes of the show that I have watched on TV and VHS throughout the years. At least with these two episodes, there were no abrupt cuts or fadeouts. Gone were the skips and jumps that plagued all those VHS tapes that Movies Unlimited sold as well as others in previous releases. No more problems with lost dialogue because of the skipping and I hardly noticed any real dirt or those annoying lines that ran through most of the shows in the past. There was a real, general clarity to the episodes, particularly in the opening title sequence. Audio was more than adequate too. Easy to hear and very audible. I don't think VCI did any "real" remastering but IMHO, something was done to make the episodes look like they do in this set.
If your a fan of the show or you want to discover it for the first time or rediscover it again, I can't recommend this set highly enough. I think you'll be really pleased. Although I have only watched two of the episodes, I know I was. If enough true "OSB" fans and those generally curious about the show buy the set, there is no doubt a second installment will soon follow.

Terrible picture Quality and bad sound.
Stories are not nearly as good as twilight zone.
