Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits had both good and poor stories, but they were usually less cringable than Professor Zacary Smith and that stupid robot.
I preferred Metal Mickey and tyhe atomic thunderbusters. Ah, Nostalgia.
It was okay, I just loved the dumbness of things like the Robinson family having to panic and find more of some hydrochoride or something for preserving their vegetables (I believe whatever the chemical was, it actually is used for dry cleaning or something similar).
And whenever they get the washing from out of the washing machine, everything is neatly packaged in plastic.
I'm somewhat amazed that the show lasted as long as it did...
Have not seen the others you mentioned.
I can't beleive that they ever made Metal Mickey in the first place. At the risk of giving someone a very nasty case of earworm - wasn't there a Metal Mickey song that got released in the charts back then?
