Ultra Q
In 1967, "Ultra Q" was licensed from Tsuburaya and TBS by CBS Films, producers of "The Twilight Zone". For the task of dubbing, CBS hired Film House in Toronto, Canada, what is now DeLuxe Toronto. Tsuburaya provided translated scripts, plus English language opening and closing credits, and a custom, swirling title-card. The series itself was dubbed in its 28-episode entirety. At some point, CBS Films backed out of licensing the series, and it was picked up, along with "Ultraman", by United Artists Television, producers of "The Outer Limits". Subsequently, United Artists Television hired Titra Studios to dub "Ultraman". "Ultraman" was syndicated, however, "Ultra Q" was not, due to being in black-and-white at a time when most television was switching to color. After "Ultraman" finished its run in syndication, audio and film masters, and other materials, for both series went into storage, eventually finding their way into the MGM vaults, after MGM acquired United Artists in 1980.
