Inside/Out was an educational television series that ran on many PBS stations for a short time during the early-1970's.

The show was produced in 1972 and 1973 by the National Instructional Television Center (NIT), in association with various contributing stations, such as KETC in St. Louis, Missouri, WVIZ in Cleveland Ohio, WNVT-TV in Northern Virginia, and The Ontario Educational Communications Authority.

Funding for Inside/Out was provided by grants from 32 different educational agencies within the USA and Canada, with additional support from Exxon Corporation.

Inside/Out was an anthology of shorts that ran for 15 minutes or less that were designed to teach children about social issues. Many episodes had a cliffhanger ending, leaving the viewer to draw their own conclusions as to what they would do in that same situation.

This series was very commonly watched on many classroom TV broadcasts during school hours and shown on 16mm film reels in many schools.

• Inside/Out was one of the first in-school television series to deal with real-life problems and situations in real-life settings, without resorting to sugar-coating or happy endings.

• Due to the critical acclaim for this series, some PBS stations would double-run two Inside/Out episodes in a half-hour time slot in the evening, so parents could watch this series with their children.

• According to a 1972 TV Guide article on Inside/Out, WGBH Boston banned an episode about death from its airwaves, citing that the circumstances in that episode were too realistic, and may scare some children watching the series.

• Inside/Out was one of the last programs to be produced by NIT; the organisation would be reformulated as the "Agency for Instructional Television" (AIT) in April 1973.

• Among others, AIT produced three other similarly themed programs called Bread and Butterflies; Self, Incorporated; and On The Level.

• In 1996, AIT produced an updated version of the series, Looking from the Inside/Out ([1]).
