I may be wrong, but out of all those great shows, and I watched them all, only I Dream of Jeanie, Land of the Giants and the Time Tunnel where not made into movies...And what of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, some one missed that one. AND the one show that got me hooked on SciFi, One Step Beyond. Any one remmeber that with John Newland ?

All I remember of One Step Beyond is the opening with the scary announcer saying "one step beyond."

I too watched every episode of "The Invaders" as a kid and was fortunate enough to watch them repeated when I was in my twenties or early thirties. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was as sci-fi doesn't always age well. Land of the Giants felt dated from its first airing! I had a great affection for the character David Vincent, my father was also an architect. He didn't run off in search of aliens but he had run off by then. :(
Wasn't the series Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea a spin off from the film? Walter Pidgeon, now there was an guy with gravitas! . . . Forbidden Planet . . . Oh Sci-Fi, how I love you, how I love you, my dear ol' Sci-Fi.
What's this One Step Beyond? Don't think it made it one step beyond the US or is it really, really incredibly old?

From IMdB: "What you are about to see is a matter of human record. Explain it: we cannot. Disprove it: we cannot. We simply invite you to explore with us the amazing world of the Unknown ... to take that One Step ... Beyond." Alcoa Presents One Step Beyond.
For me, this show was on early Saturday mornings, it has been discribed as some thing like the Twilight Zone. Did the stories really happen, I don't know, but it made you "Wonder"
