The show was scheduled to debut during October 2000 at 8:00 p.m. on Fridays , but this never eventuated , with reality show '' Police Chase '' and '' Freakylinks '' airing in its place . It eventually aired on Fox from July 12 to September 6 , 2001 as a summer filler . Billy Brown reflected " There was a changing of the guard at Fox between the time we filmed the pilot and the time the network was ready to order the series . The new regime was n't convinced an anthology would work , yet everyone agreed that the pilot was good . I had the feeling the network did n't think the show was hip enough . " It was later picked up by the Sci Fi Channel , which reran the series beginning June 14 , 2002 . During September 2002 , Sci Fi broadcast the final three remaining episodes that never aired on Fox , which was due to scheduling conflicts arising from the 2001 September 11 terrorist attacks . One of these , " Cargo/Switch " , ran as part of the '' Night Visions '' series , while the two other episodes ' segments ( " Patterns " , " The Maze " , " Harmony " and " Voices " ) were edited into the Sci Fi Channel film '' Shadow Realm '' , minus the Rollins introductions and the '' Night Visions '' name . Reruns of the series also aired on the Nine Network in Australia and on cable channel Chiller
