This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

A lot of fun.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This TV anthology series unfolds tales occurring in the past, present & future whether they're bizarre, eerie or even silly. It changed TV in the early 60's consisting of sci-fi, horror & fantasy with the late, Rod Serling as creator, narrator & host. This is the pinnacle of anthologies and features stars like, William Shatner, Burgess Meredith and Jack Warden. I highly recommend this.

I enjoyed The Twilight Zone immensely when I was a kid, but seeing it as an adult, I was staggered by the lack of scientific and historical knowledge of the writers and dismayed by enough plot holes to drive a herd of buffaloes through. Here are some examples:An astronaut goes nuts just for being kept in a capsule for a few days.Asteroids are miniature earths.A space explorer crash-lands on a planet 4.3 light years from his origin, but he communicates in real time to his mission control.An old geezer goes nuts over a slot machine, and the casino workers just stand there watching until he pushes it over. Try that in a casino.The writer(s) are clueless as to when the U.S. entered WWI.Mannequins come to life for a month and live among real people. Where do they live? How do they get money? How did Marsha come to know she has a mother to buy a gift for?A young woman allegedly has serious surgery on her face, but when her head is unwrapped, there is not a sign of it.A man can stop time all over the earth with a stopwatch, yet he can move objects. Why don't aircraft fall from the sky? Does he stop Earth in its rotation and orbit? How about the entire solar system?Enough. One Step Beyond I believe was a better show. If one accepts the paranormal aspect, it is far more believable and better written.

After recently gaining access to all of The Twilight Zone I've watched pretty much every episode. And this is after watching 90% of the sci- fi/horror films & television of the past 40+ years. What struck me most is how most of it draws much of its influence from these amazing stories. For example:Before I saw the episode "A Most Unusual Camera" I had seen the film "Time Lapse". Where three people discover a camera that takes pictures of the future. They use the camera to take pictures of the next days horse races and profit from it until things inevitably go sour; which is the EXACT plot of the aforementioned Twilight Zone episode.The episode "The Trade-ins" involves elderly people from the future who pay huge sums of money to have their mind/memories/etc transferred to a younger, genetically engineered body. Traces of this can be seen in MANY different places, the most recent I've seen would be "Self/less" and "Surrogates"No doubt it's a very dated show (i.e. black & white, very outdated production quality at least by today's standards, acting can be sort of stiff at times, etc), but the stories are timeless and simply amazing compared to the majority of film & television we've got nowadays, and I would take that over a film/show with top-notch acting & quality but a boring, pretentious script and some sort of contrived romance sub-plot. Hell... I would rather just listen to the audio of a Twilight Zone episode than watch an episode of True Blood, one of the "Twilight" films, etc

I would like to see if possible on Memorial and Veterans day's military themed episodes of the Twilight Zone as a marathon. Many episodes dealt with military stories and even vets. Mr. Serling himself was a WW2 veteran serving in the Army as a paratrooper. This could prove both worthy and entertaining. It would do a stations great service to both veterans and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Think about it, 6 hours of the best if not all of the military stories being shown in honor of those who served. There's the episode where 3 soldiers are lost and wind up fighting in Little big horn. The episode where a soldier knows who's going to be a casualty by seeing a ray of light over their head. The 3 Air Force pilots that return to Earth only to disappear from life. The Nazi U-boat commander who sinks a liner only to experience their pain. The 3 pilots who land on a planet and later become display pieces. And the guy who read a newspaper article on a bomber plane found in a desert believing he was there also. The list can go on and on. How about it TV stations?
