Russell Johnson, who would later achieve a bit of notoriety as "The Professor" on "Gilligan's Island," stars as a man that finds himself in the hours prior to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Trying to undo the historic event, Johnson's character finds himself on opposite sides of the law, with many that he meets thinking him a perfect candidate for an asylum.
The tight direction and the masterful score by Jerry Goldsmith elevate a rather routine episode to something a bit memorable.
Though it doesn't rank in the top 10 episodes from Rod Serling's long-running series, "Back There" is still an engaging half hour and a pleasant addition to the long list of time-traveling sagas, so prevalent in science fiction.
