The other day the YouTube algorithm got something right again and stared
suggesting to me old episodes of a CBS program called Way Out.  It was a
mid-season replacement fashioned to fill the other half of the hour that
included the all-time classic, The Twilight Zone.

I have watched a couple of episodes.  One about a man who is dying that
gets talked into perserving his brain -- alive -- in a jar for scientific
research.  The other was about a scientist who is testing a mood
modification technique on small mammals that is persuaded to test it on his
wife.

Both of them were pretty good.  If you are a fan of the TV comedy, "WKRP in
Cincinnati," which aired roughly 20 years later, there was a bit of irony
in the second episode mentioned above.  The actor who plays assistant to
the scientist performing psychological experiments in Way Out would make a
guest appearance on WKRP as a child psychologist with some fringe beliefs.
 <grin>

If you are into older TV sci-fi offerings, like the Twilight Zone, Tales of
Tomorrow, the Outer Limits, or One Step Beyond, I would suggest checking
this one out.
