The Outer Limits, seasons one and two, the 1960's version of the show. As for why.....TOL was the best, bleakest, dreamiest, nightmarish sci-fi anthology ever done. It had a bleak voiceover intro by the mysterious Control Voice that was both gentle and ominous, stark black and white filmed cinematography, noir-styled imagery, excellent theatrical acting, characters who had no idea what was happening to them (being dragged off into psychic hell) and a plot line resolution that left you with the feeling that you'd escaped this fate just barely. You get to go on living or being sane, but just until the next episode. The cheesy, rubber-suited monsters were metaphors for the horrors of life, bringers of fear, "Until the next time when take you to The Outer Limits".
Season one was the best. Season two was not quite as good, but still better than almost anything else on TV.
