There has been dozens of references to "The Twilight Zone", but has there been any spoofs or references to the classic "Outer Limits" TV series?

One of the early Halloween shows had a parody of the Control Voice and vocally-altered sine wave image. "You can see my voice, on TV..."

Aha! What was the main plot? I have no recollection of it. (Among a lot of other events in my life)

I think it was a syndication cut as well. It's on the Songs In The Key Of Springfield CD.

It's THOH V [2F03], but cut in syndication. Courtesy of SNPP.com, {} marks the syndication cut.

Marge: Hello once again. As usual, I must warn you all that this year's Hallowe'en show is very, very scary, and those of you with young children may want to send them off for bed -- [someone hands her a paper; she reads it] Oh, my! It seems the show is _so_ scary that Congress won't even let us show it. Instead they've suggested the 1947 Glenn Ford classic movie, "200 Miles to Oregon". [a clip from the movie shows] -- Introductions, "Treehouse of Horror V"

The picture shuts off like a television being unplugged. {The little white dot remaining at the center expands into a green line which becomes modulated with Bart's voice like an oscilloscope trace.

       [picture shows a green line]
 Bart: There's nothing wrong with your television set.  Do not attempt
       to adjust your picture.  _We_ are controlling the transmission.
Homer: What's that, boy?  We're in control?  Hey, look!  I can see my
       voice!  [laughs] Brrr...hee!  Heeee!
        [changing pitches] Blub blub blub blub blub!  Thiiis...iiis my
       vooice...on teeeveeeee --
 Bart: Dad!  You're ruining the mood.
Homer: Sorry.
 Bart: For the next half-hour, _we_ will control what you see and
hear.
       You are about to experience the terror and foul horror of...The
       Simpsons Hallowe'en Special.
