Science Fiction Theater 1956- 1958 Two seasons Complete
Conceived by Ivan Tors

Description of the series

Blending the discoveries of factual science with the limitless frontiers of fantasy, Science Fiction Theatre offered Atomic Age television viewers an intriguing look at the possibilities science could provide us in the near future as well as the immediate present. Airing from 1955 to 1957 and hosted by Truman Bradley, Science Fiction Theatre's seventy-eight episodes presented its intelligent and fantastic stories in an anthology format.

My notes

 This was a recent acquisition of my library.  They are half hour episodes and there's a wiki for the details.

 But the wiki or synopses cannot describe this picture of the 1950's adequately except in the viewing.  SFT is an unique blend of science fact such as the children's program Mr Wizard with Don Herbert provided for youngsters and science fiction 'from the edge of tomorrow' as the show puts it.

 In it's 78 episodes most every familiar face from television appears.  If you remember that time you can play along and either remember or wait for the credits to see the names.  Vera Miles appears in one.  And Marie Windsor with Don Defore.  Warren Stevens from "Forbidden Planet" {but not Jack Kelly or Ann Francis).

 Concurrent with my viewings of SFT,  I was watching the Tribune Company's  series "Manhattan" (2014)'  It is both a contrast and a parallel viewing experience to see the period costumes in Manhattan and the everyday dress in SFT.

 Your host Truman Bradley will tell you that "This has been a story of fiction, it did not happen".  But it is indeed hard to believe that the mention of LSD occurs in one episode of a program made in the mid 1950's.

 Imagine being a youngster who goes into science because of such a show.  I can, but I was maybe a year or two too young to have that effect.  I would have been eight or nine.

 SFT is available as a full DVD box.  It is a worthwhile collection to have as historical material for a time when science was at the forefront of the American imagination and in the Cold War.  It is available from Timeless Media Group,  the same company which released Johnny Staccato"  with John Cassavetes (also in my collection of fileshares.)

 The package format as folders is from the intitial presentation of these episodes as single torrent fileshares I made for another index now unavailable.  This new package and it's larger size are more easily downloaded with more and better bandwidth sources.

  See the wiki for more on this captivating series and share with others on your indexes and torrent accounts.

avatarI've tried to piece together what the problem from Guest is above. Since this was done some time ago, I looked at my notes files which accompany the entries.  Those say  "Title"   then "from the DVD."  I don't have the disks in hand but that may well be the origin of the problem.    In other words, that's the DVD order.  It should not prevent anyone from enjoying the series.

avatarI was advised of something about this torrent in the course of upload.  A couple different file formats were used in the course of time that it took me to make all those original folders.  It will not affect your viewing experience.  Just a note that both MKV and MP4 formats may appear.  If you do not have H265 codecs installed it may affect your viewing.  But in fact, for the
years previous that SFT has been mounted,  I had heard no difficulties expressed to me.

avataryou are welcome.

This came from a library as (I think) public domain  on DVD so it is available for purchase.  I think it's Milestone Video
but would have to look it up again.  These things should be retained in library collections so I always suggest they be requested.
