I've never smoked before, but I think I want an L&M cigarette...

Another great episode.

Great tv show. I recall seeing this when I was a kid.

Saw this when it first aired! Love it! Great cast. One of Henry Jones’ best performances, I think. I recommend The Croaker about a man who turns people into frogs starring a very young Richard Thomas with John McGiver and Madeleine Sherwood. And False Face!! An actor about to play Quasimodo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame hires a fellow with a grotesque face to be a model for his stage make-up. I think these Way Out episodes are all here on KZfaq! Lucky us!

From the first scene I remembered the ending of cigarette smoke blown on the brain and that's about all. Roald Dahl's grim, sardonic tv series had quite an impact on me as a twelve year-old! But as an old person I prefer watching productions with at least hopeful if not happy endings. Twilight Zone has several of those. 🙂

10:42 you must be a fairly good actress to change emotions. Well, did she pull it off? Anyone?

I get the feeling that this was meant to compete with "Alfred Hitchcock Presents".

Was this meant to compete with Alfred Hitchcock?

Are the short dashes swear words? You sound like a sweet person recalling a good memory and sharing if they are swear words please no more ok have a good night

This show is really Way out. Órale Way!!!

"You're robbing the occasion of it's dignity." Wicked writers! 😂😂😂

This is an amazing piece of cinema

I have a strong urge to smoke some L&M cigarettes

Roald Dahl was the only 1 of his fighter squadron to survive combat by the end of the Axis conquest of Greece in April 1941. He was rewarded for shooting down a Ju-88 by being posted to DC, where he became an MI6 spy of sorts.

This has the same outcome as the "Death Wish" episode.

Pretty good. I had a feeling it would turn out this way🤣

Katey Sagal's father, Boris Sagal directed this. Don Keefer, who Bill Mumy turned into a jack-in-the-box in the classic Twilight Zone episode "It's a good Life." Charlotte Rae from "Car 54 Where are You" and "Facts of Life" and "Different Strokes."

That was really good! Question, how does a man end up with a shrew for a wife like that? She criticized EVERYTHING he did, including chewing his food!!!!

I remember cigarette commercials back in the 60s, when I was a child. I've always found it werid that doctors recommended cigarettes, knowing what we know today....very weird. Mark Lenard would go on the play Sarek, the father of Mr. Spock on the original Star Trek series.

Seems like the black lodge

I would add "over me" after her last words😮

What are weird show at the beginning of a guy tells women they can kill their husbands. And then the story. The woman in the story is crazy. She’s just plane, totally, 100% nuts.

What type of basin comes with all the modern convenience ?

An L&M cigarette commercial been advertised in over 50 years, and here it here. Far out and Way out.

*DAHL'S involvement.

I'm surprised that the stories weren't better given Rahm's involvement. Not surprised it folded after one season especially since it was up against The Twilight Zone.

That’s Murray Hamilton in the lead role ( the mayor in “Jaws”, Death himself but Ed Wynn delayed him from taking a small girl in a “Twilight Zone”, “1941”. Doris Roberts of course. She won an Emmy for playing a homeless lady with James Coco on “St. elsewhere” Myron McCormick played a shrink to Andy Griffith “in No Time for Sergeants”. That’s in intriguing variance on a ‘Zone’like type story.

These episodes always have the most deplorable women who treat their husbands like garbage. It’s wonderful stuff.

The wives on these episodes are unbearable. Don’t understand how these people end up together in the first place.

3:10 “This reminds me of a TV show…” Diff’rent Strokes? The Facts of Life? 😂 Young Charlotte Rae. I love it.

This is real writing. You don’t SAY the real monster is the actor, you show it with the words and actions. So much writing today is absolute garbage.

Isn’t that the Mom from Everybody Loves Raymond playing Edna? 😂 She was great in this.

That was a great one. I love the wedding photo. She looked exactly the same in both.

Love the ciggie promotion!!

Twilight Zone and One Step Beyond were ones I watched at the time. Saw the previews to this back in early 1961. Watched every Friday just before Twilight Zone. Outer Limits came out in late 1963, another favorite. Loved science fiction mystery.

Is this just a twilight zone clone?

Wow

Smoking commercials!

This episode would have made a great episode of Tales From The Crypt.

That particular episode, Side Show looked like it came from an issue of Eerie magazine.

The first episode of WAY OUT, a series considered far more disturbing than The Twilight Zone.

This TZ/One step beyond alternative would have been fine if it had had better TV production values!

17:00 What a coincidence there should be a commercial with Kim Hunter who is most famous for a movie in which she wears a false false.

Unfortunately, Dana Elcar later went blind (in the 1980’s). He was a good actor but he had to quit acting when that happened.

This is great! Thank you for making this available to view. I haven’t seen this show in many, many years. Decades, in fact.

This episode really was called "False Face" as the one called "Soft Focus" starred Barry Morse.

Before Rod Serling's Night Gallery, there was this weird show Way Out with Roald (roe-ald) Dahl.

Real horror is the cigarette commercial.

Great acting.
