YouTube has most of the episodes of this great show. The picture ranges from fair-to-good. Some of the videos were edited by the old Sci-Fi Channel, shortening them by three minutes.

From IMDB: An ambassador is shot by a would-be assassin. To remove the bullet, a surgeon needs to consult a colleague on a cruise ship in the Pacific. Scientists bounce a TV signal off the moon to the ship so he can watch and direct the operation.

The IMDB summary pretty much says it all, except that the episode predicts the use of communications satellites to carry TV signals from one location on Earth to another.

The story literally turns the Moon into a satellite which bounces a video signal from an operating room in Washington D.C. to a ship in the Pacific Ocean!

Several of those huge TV cameras used in the 1950s are shown in the operating room, and the famous surgeon on the ship is in the radio room aboard the ship, with one of those old portable TVs on a counter in front of him.

This fascinating episode is extremely well produced. It creates some real drama and suspense. Cool

I sure hope some of you folks will watch a few of these great episodes and then add your own comments. Hell, why should I have all the fun?
