Anybody else a Fan of "The Outer Limits"?

[outshined]

I have DirecTV and I think they've played a few original episodes just once or twice.
But, I was wondering if anyone knows if the following stories are from the OL?
Been so long since I saw them, but here's the gist...

A man (Jack Warden?) finds himself in the world where everything and everyone seems to be frozen in time, except they aren't; they are all moving imperceptibly slowly. He realizes that a truck will hit a little girl on a trike and fashions the emergency brake to activate with the seat belts from the truck that he cut out. Sound familiar?

The other is something about 2 small cubes in a lab setting. They are moving very slowly towards each other. If someone doesn't do what's required, then they will touch and the world will blow to bits or some such thing?

Thanks.

I happen to remember that first one! The title was "Premonition" and the actor was David Garcia, where the solution involved a seat beat cleverly tied between the truck wheel and emergency brake lever. That was Season 1 Episode 8 on One Step Beyond

"Alcoa Presents: One Step Beyond" ran from 1959-1961 and I was 8 years old when I saw it. For some reason that episode has remained stuck in my head all these years...

Sorry, but the two cubes don't ring a bell at the moment.

The Preminition outshined would be thinking of is OL, the second to the last one aired, Dewey Martin was an X-15 pilot who broke the time barrier and saves his kid with the seat belt trick. OSB's premintion involved a falling chandelier (spelling?)

Thanks for the clarification. I have been looking at the OSB dvd's, but there isn't much in the way of plot outlines. I thought it was an episode from The Outer Limits.

With two series of the same genre, and two episodes with the same name, I can see how this can become a little confusing, but sleddogmans response is appreciated nontheless.

Oops. My bad...
