surfpup Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 So every year the SyFy (used to be SciFi I guess) channel runs this Twilight Zone marathon. The funny thing is even though we have every episode on DVD (without commercials obviously) we sit here and watch the episodes anyway (with commercials). Regardless, Twilight Zone is one of the greatest TV series ever! Anyone else been watching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Nah. Caught some Pawn Stars this morning, then cooked country ham for tonight.

MrNylon Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 It was a really great show to see when I was a kid. Great stories from Rod Serling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjay777 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 That show is the best. There's not much else on the tube tonight, so I'll catch a little of it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bill Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 My oldest boy received the Definitive Edition for Christmas, so we have been watch them. I didn't realize they made so many, the first season had 39 episodes alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNylon Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 That's the way TV was in those times. Check out the number of episodes Star Trek turned out in three years before NBC cancelled the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shnate McDuanus Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Yeah! I love The Twilight Zone--definitely one of my favorite TV shows. I watched some of it, but I kept seeing episodes that I've seen so many times before so... I decided to get in some reading, instead: Robert A. Heinlein's Time Enough For Love. It's a brilliant novel which I couldn't recommend more enthusiastically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I haven't seen that show in a long time. One of my favorite episodes I remember was the one where this poor woman was alone in her house and these little aliens were harrassing her. She fought back and in the end it turned out the "aliens" were us. NASA astronauts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great stuff. John Lithgow was good in the movie. It was William Shatner in the original. The better episodes are coming on now. They just ran "To Serve Man" and now they are playing "Time Enough at Last" - two of the best episodes IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveinspain Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I remember one episode where a nice women would invite people from the neighborhood in for a coffee and doughnut... I can't remember why she was doing it but she had this special powder on the doughnuts that made who ever eat them turn into a pig... Was pretty funny....

MrNylon Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Do you remember the episode that had Donna Douglas (Ellie May from the Beverley Hillbillies) in it? She was the one in the hospital and the doctors tried to change her appearance. They all thought she was so ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrNylon Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I was 6 years old when T Z aired in 1958. They really were well written also. Back then TV had no respect. It was like a down grade for an act to appear on a TV show. Movies and the stage were still king of entertainment. Shows like Bonanza, I Love Lucy changed that.
