This was partly due to the fact that the new series, filmed in Canada, was produced on an extremely limited budget. Surprisingly (given the remarkable advances in the art of special effects since 1965), the revived Outer Limits downplayed effects in favor of human interrelations and suspense. Debuting March 26, 1995, the new Outer Limits emulated the old by utilizing a narrator known only as The Control Voice ("There is nothing wrong with your television set.do not attempt to adjust the picture.we are controlling transmission") Because original narrator Vic Perrin had passed away in 1989, it fell to Kevin Conway to provide the offscreen openings and closings of each hour-long episode. As with many of Michener's books, this one has the sections tied together throughout the novel in one way or another.Thirty years after the cancellation of the landmark science fiction-fantasy anthology The Outer Limits, the property was revived in a full-color, state-of-the-art version by cable's Showtime network. Then it goes into how the cattle ranchers and sheep ranchers feuded over land and water rights as well as agricultural farming in the area.
Also during this timeframe, it goes into the decimation of the buffalo that the Indians depended on for so much of their food and other things that they were able to use from the buffalo.
Part of this touches on the Indian massacres prevalent in the 19th century that were so common. The next section tells of the Indian and white fur trappers that inhabited the land.
It starts with the dinosaurs that would have lived in the area to the arrival of man. As is usually the case with Michener, he takes us on a prehistorical tour of the surrounding area of the uprising of the Rockies, including the area of Colorado where Centennial is supposed to be(not far from Denver it seems). This takes place in the fictional town of Centennial, Colorado.
