World of Giants (1959)
It was real--and surreal

Back in Chicago circa 1965, I'm pretty sure Channel 7 (ABC) would run World of Giants episodes in the half-hour before they ran some sort of (heavily chopped-up) SF flick. My recall is that this was on Thursday afternoons at either 3:30 or 4, and the SF flick would be over by 5:30, in time for all the kids out there to have supper.
As a series it was pretty well done, especially the opticals, and looked good in comparison to other series running at the time (like The Outer Limits) that depended on hokey-looking monsters.
As others have mentioned, there was something surreal and a little bit disturbing about it, possibly because it was so well done compared to other screen SF of that era.
