World of Giants is an American 30-minute black-and-white science fiction spy-fi television series[1] that aired in syndication from September 5, 1959, until November 28, 1959.
Following my escape from a nightmare behind the Iron Curtain six months ago, I watched along with 14 doctors and 17 scientists and saw myself shrink to the size of a six-inch ruler.
[1] The series was not picked up for broadcast by a major network, and a 1961 issue of Sponsor magazine stated that CBS was putting World of Giants into syndication, with a June 19, 1961 release.
[6] Nearly a decade later, in 1968, a similarly themed Irwin Allen science fiction TV series, entitled Land of the Giants, starring Gary Conway and Don Marshall, ran on ABC.
In 1973 the Hanna-Barbera's animated series Inch High, Private Eye, about a similarly small detective, premiered on NBC, airing for only one season.
