Twilight Zone - Scott Miller - 09-15-2006
My library has just purchased the entire 44 volume set of The Twilight Zone, hurray. I've always liked the show, but am not nearly as knowledgeable as several other boardwalkers here. Last night I began watching them starting with "Where Is Everyone?" and the special features. The episode was good, but I really enjoyed Serling's pitch and his interview with Mike Wallace(it was strange to see them both huffing down cigarettes) from the special features. 45 years later and so much of what Serling said either remains true or has come true. I know what I'll be watching for the foreseeable future.

The Twilight Zone is my favorite show, no doubt!
I have DVDs but they're not volume set. Also I like New version The Twilight Zone(Host by Forrest Whitaker).

1, PROBE 7 OVER AND OUT
2, The Midnight Sun
3, Death Ship(written by R. Matheson!)
4, The Eye Of The Beholder(That last scene astonished me!)
5, Will The Real Martian Please Stand Up
6, The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street
7, Nightmare At 20,000 Feet(written by R. Matheson!)
8, Rip Van Winke's Caper
9, It's a good life
10, To Serve Man

Ceaser and Me
Nightmare at 20,000 feet
Odessey of Flight 33
Third from the Sun
The Monsters are Due on Maple Street
Eye of the Beholder
Time Enough to Last
The Obsolete Man
The Hitch-hiker

I can remember episodes, but only when I start watching them and say, "I've seen this before." I'll try to keep my eyes out for everyone's favorites. One of the things about this collection is there is no particular order to the volumes. Each volume has 3 episodes, but they're not categorized by release date(which is listed as is the episode number), they appear to be randomly grouped.

I've been a fan of The Twilight Zone for years, since I was a kid. *Shamefully*, most of the episode tittles escape me. To Serve Man, and the one with William Shatner (Terror at 20,000 feet?) as the crazed passenger were always my favorites.

I remember the first time I watched To Serve Man. It was a TZ I had never seen before so I rented it (VHS at the time) it became one of my favorites. Well, later that night I watched the other movie that I had rented which was The Naked Gun 2 1/2 with some friends. Well towards the end of the movie Leslie Nielsen's character tells a bunch of people at a dinner or something that there is a bomb in the building. Well everyone starts to panic and at one point this random man runs up to this random woman, grabs her by the arm, and starts screaming "Its a cookbook. Its a cookbook." He also had a book under his arm that said To Serve Man.
Of course if I hadn't of watched the TZ episode first I wouldn't have gotten the joke. But since I had I was dying laughing and my friends were just looking at me weird. to this day I just think its strange that I happened to watch the two on the same day and in that order.

I saw "The Naked Gun 2 1/2" too, but I didn't know that!
You have a good vision!

I always liked the one with Burgess Merideth as the bookworm that's thrilled that the world gets nuked so he can read his books without being bothered.
I can relate.
