"New Exhibit" to me has a simple flaw that it can't overcome. We see the wax figures commit the murders so the "twist" makes no sense whatsoever. Suppose the figures really did it, and Marty simply took the fall for it. Naturally the police and everyone else would assume he had committed the murders rather than the figures.

Frank Aletter (then married to Lee Meriwether) would later have his own weird astronaut travel experience as the co-star of the "It's About Time" sitcom.

"The New Exhibit" became a classic for me ... 10/10 In this thread's 1st reply, I told'ya so. [check out, if you can, Robert Bloch's "A Good Imagination" from the 1st season of THRILLER if you love black comedies and bodies buried under cellar floors. ]

"The New Exhibit" became a classic for me during the scene in which Martin Balsam buries his wife in the basement. Balsam "converses" with his dead wife, explaining his reasons for burying her. It's brilliantly played by Balsam and the whole scene is a fantastic blend of madness and black comedy. 10/10 This pleases me. Bravo!

Loved the cue--was that Jerry's music?-- That sequence was tracked with one snippet by Fred Steiner and one by a Goldsmith library cue. Overall, "Cliffordville" was spotted by the music editors with material from CBS Westerns by Van Cleave & Fred Steiner. Another observation regarding "Cliffordville" is that there are a number of photo stills involving situations & scenes not seen in the final cut of the episode (in particular, one shot of Newmar peering into an airplane from outside one of its windows). I suspect this might be a segment which was in pre-production preparation before Bert Granet replaced the prematurely-departing Herbert Hirschman as line producer.

he's not particularly good in the "Outer Limits" episode that stars Donald Pleasance (the title escapes me but it's a S1 episode where Ed "Chief" Platt has a nasty demise) This is "The Man with the Power".

And I'll still take Duvall in TZ over his role in "The Inheritors," in which his role just fizzled in part deuce. You can have "Miniature". I'll take OL's "The Chameleon", along with a side order of "The Invaders" from VTTBOTS. HeHeHe

I've only seen a couple of episodes of The Outer Limits but they made little impact. I got the impression that most episodes were of the cheesy sci-fi variety that TZ only occasionally did. Don't think I've ever seen One Step Beyond or Thriller...was the latter hosted by Boris Karloff? IIRC, a childhood friend's older brother used to collect the Thriller (published by Dell?). Yes, THRILLER was hosted by Karloff. John Newland hosted ONE STEP BEYOND. I'm surprised, though, that THE OUTER LIMITS is not better known by a person who claims to love the year 1963. If one can watch classic DOCTOR WHO serials, then pulpy sci-fi monsters from OL should be just as easily accepted.
