Here's another complete, first-run broadcast of an installment of Quinn Martin's Tales of the Unexpected, "No Way Out" (S01E08 - the very last episode of the series, in fact), as aired on the NBC Network via their then-Boston, MA affiliate, WBZ Channel 4 (now a CBS O&O/affiliate).
(Another episode can be seen here: • NBC Network - Quinn Martin's Tales of... )
Tonight's swan song (about an ex-Navy officer who unwittingly pilots his boat into the Bermuda Triangle and finds himself 25 years into the future) guest stars Bill Bixby (in-between The Magician and The Incredible Hulk), Robert Pine, Robert Hogan (not the Hogan's Heroes character, but an actor with the same name), Sheila Larken, Davey Davison, and special guest star Dean Stockwell. Narrator is William Conrad, late of Cannon - but usual QM voiceover Hank Simms is nowhere to be heard anywhere in this episode.
