The Outer Limits was a television show that is an anthology instead of a continuous story. Its original run was from 1963-1965 and was renewed later on from 1995-2002. The original run also affected Star Trek because Gene Roddenberry was always present on the set and some of the props were reused on Star Trek episodes, notably the Horta and the technique used to create pointed ears.
