I have it on DVD and watch it a least once a year.

I didn't know Harlan Ellison wrote for the show. I thought he had given up television by that point. I may have to take a look at whichever episode he wrote.

There weren't enough sci-fi shows on TV then, I didn't know the reason it was cancelled, but that makes sense. The show was good, but the visuals were not much, if any, better than 60's shows like Time Tunnel or Land of The Giants.

But I couldn't remember it well enough to know how true the movie was to it because I kept going, "That's Basil Exposition from Austin Powers!"
