The Twilight Zone 1959-64
Alfred Hitchcock Presents 1955-62
The Outer Limits. 1963-64
Thriller 1960-62
I'd rank The Outer Limits at 3rd, myself but otherwise you've got it.

Thriller
1) Twilight Zone (TOS only)
2) Alfred Hitchcock Presents/Hour
3) The Outer Limits (TOS only)
4) I've heard of Thriller, but I don't know that I've ever seen it.
I would add two series to the list: Suspicion (1957-1958) and Suspense (1949-1954) which includes Serling's "Nightmare at Ground Zero."
1. The Twilight Zone
2. Alfred Hitchcock Presents/Hour
3. Boris Karloff’s Thriller
4. The Outer Limits
Also, another great show is One Step Beyond (1959).
Thriller got better as it went on.
shareYeah, I really like Thriller. I really like Karloff’s opening narrations. It makes him a part of the episodes a lot more than Hitchcock or Outer Limits. It’s much more like Rod’s role in TZ.
It’s just a really underrated show that deserves to be considered a classic like the other three you mentioned. I definitely feel like Thriller is the most forgotten of the four. And it actually ran for 18 more episodes than the original Outer Limits did.
I have been binging AHP, The Outer Limits and Thriller all winter.
