The show was created by [[Chad Vandemeer]], who produced 56 of its 77 episodes. He often saved money for the production by calling [[bomb]] alerts on the studios of older and more established [[science fiction]] shows, breaking in to film on their sets, and then calling it an homage. In [[1996]], when searching [[UPN]] storage for futuristic props for the show, Vandemeer discovered the [[GCI processor]], which he used to make the episodes "[[Oops Titanic]]", "[[There's No Ball Like Cher-No-Ball]]", and "[[Miss Hiroshima]]" before passing it along to [[Michael Brookhaven]]. Brookhaven executive produced the tie-in video release ''[[First Sight|Through the Eye of Eternity: First Sight]]'' in [[1997]]. | The show was created by [[Chad Vandemeer]], who produced 56 of its 77 episodes.

They would behave like their lives were set in a story with the themes corresponding to the colours used each week. For instance, an apprentice [[mortician]] was fired after laughing at a client's sombre comment while wearing a [[Black]] Eye pin; after being served the wrong [[pizza]], another fan drove his [[Buick]] into a [[New York]] [[restaurant]] while screaming about the Eye being "on red". More broadly, after the airing of the only episode to feature a [[White]] Eye, there was a noticeable rash of engagements among the fanbase. | ||
Since each colour meant something different to each fan, the Eye acted as less of a guidance than a stimulus, with fans accepting the colours as behavioural cues. This paralleled the behaviour of members of [[Remote]] colonies in later centuries, who would dress in simple primary colours and think of colour-coding as vitally important.
