Moriond, thanks! Do you know if the Internet Archive have the complete run of both shows?
There are 42 of the 46 episodes from Dimension X. Missing are 3 Heinlein shows (The Green Hills of Earth, The Roads Must Roll, and Universe) and one show (Zero Hour) by Ray Bradbury. However, you can find their counterparts under X Minus 1.
Jesse, it’s difficult to answer your question about the X Minus 1 shows, because the episode names appear to be tagged by broadcast or recording date, and this archive appears to include the instances when X Minus 1 rebroadcast the original Dimension X episode, as in the case for The Parade. I count a total of 126 episodes in the archive for X Minus 1 and 12 titles that appear twice. It seems to me as though every show from X Minus 1 is in the archives.
