Watch Series: 'Way Out Released in (1961) - Season 1 produced by USA, The TV Series categorized in Drama, Fantasy, Science-Fiction, and content rating 25min with duration 30 min broadcasted as these networks CBS, Streamed at Putlocker & directed by Paul Bogart, Marc Daniels, Tom Donovan. Way Out was a 1961 fantasy and science fiction television anthology series hosted by writer Roald Dahl. The macabre 25-minute shows were introduced by Dahl's dry delivery of a brief introductory monologue, sometimes explaining a method of murdering a spouse without getting caught.

\nThe taped series began because CBS suddenly needed a replacement for a Jackie Gleason talk show that network executives were about to cancel, and producer David Susskind contacted Dahl to help mount a show quickly. The series was paired by the network with the similar The Twilight Zone for Friday evening broadcasts, running from March through July 1961 at 9:30 p.m. Eastern time, under the primary sponsorship of Liggett & Myers. Writers included Philip H. Reisman, Jr. and Sumner Locke Elliott.

\nThe premiere episode, \"William and Mary\", adapted from a Roald Dahl short story, told of a wife getting revenge on her husband.

\nIn \"Dissolve to Black\", an actress cast as a murder victim at a television studio goes through a rehearsal, but the drama merges with reality as she finds herself trapped on the show's near-deserted set. Other dramas offered startling imagery: a snake slithering up a carpeted staircase inside a suburban home, a disembodied brain in a jar, a headless woman strapped to an electric chair, with a light bulb in place of her head and half of a man's face erased. - Season 1
