To discuss television's greatest anthology series whose title has become pop culture shorthand for the bizarre and supernatural is to immediately become like Albert Brooks and Dan Aykroyd in Twilight Zone: The Movie; a can-you-top-this recall of famous shocks and favorite twists. Several essential episodes hail from this season, among them, "Time Enough at Last" starring Burgess Meredith as a bespectacled bookworm who is the lone survivor of an atomic blast; "The After-Hours" starring Anne Francis as a department store shopper haunted by mannequins; and the profoundly disturbing "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street," in which fear and prejudice turns neighbor against neighbor (and, by the by, whose alien observers inspired Kang and Kodos on The Simpsons). From an unsettlingly persistent hitchhiker to a malevolent slot machine, The Twilight Zone's first season did plumb "the pit of man's fears." One forgets how moving the series could be. Three of this season's most memorable and enduring episodes are the poignant and primal "stop-the-world-I-want-to-get-off fantasies, "Walking Distance," "A Stop at Willougby" and "The Sixteen-Millimeter Shrine," in which desperate characters seek refuge in a simpler past. Serling's few stabs at comedy ("Mr. Bevis," "The Mighty Casey") have not aged well, but the series finale, "A World of His Own," starring Keenan Wynn as a playwright whose fictional characters come to life, has a brilliant capper. The episodes are more deliberately paced than one might remember. Less patient younger viewers might be anxious to get to the payoffs, but once they settle into the rhythm, they will savor the literate writing and the performances by such veteran actors as Ed Wynn, Everett Sloan, and Ida Lupino, and newcomers such as Jack Klugman. The extras, including the unaired version of the pilot episode, "Where is Everybody?", audio commentaries and recollections, and a Serling college lecture, truly take this six-disc set to another dimension. --Donald LiebensonThe Twilight Zone - Season 2 (The Definitive Edition) The middle ground between light and shadow just became a whole lot sharper and detailed with this stellar five-disc set, which compiles the entire second season of Rod Serling's classic television series, The Twilight Zone, and gilds the whole package by including a treasure trove of supplemental material. TZ's second season (1960-61) is a stand-out in the series' history thanks to its sheer number of memorable stories; among the episodes that have achieved pop culture landmark status are the chilling "Eye of the Beholder" (a disfigured woman undergoes surgery to appear more "normal") and "The Silence" (Franchot Tone wagers that Liam Sullivan cannot silent for a year); "The Invaders" (Agnes Moorhead is pitted against tiny space travelers), "Long Distance Call" (Lost in Space's Billy Mumy converses with a deceased relative on his toy phone), and the more light-hearted "Night of the Meek," in which department store Santa Claus Art Carney gets a chance to fulfill the real St. Nick's duties. As always, the combination of sharp, intelligent scripting (mostly by Serling, but with notable contributions by Charles Beaumont, Richard Matheson, and George Clayton Johnson) and superb casting (guest stars include Cliff Robertson, Dennis Weaver, Burgess Meredith, William Shatner, John Carradine, and Don Rickles) produces television that remains as thought-provoking and entertaining today as it was over 40 years ago. Though The Twilight Zone has received numerous home video releases over the years, the aptly titled Definitive Edition is arguably the finest presentation of this series to date. Each of the episodes have been digitally remastered from original camera negatives (even the episodes filmed on videotape look good) and magnetic soundtracks; Serling's previews for upcoming episodes and advertising "billboards" (sponsor spots) have also been included, as have commentaries by Rickles, Weaver, Robertson, Shelly Berman, and other performers. Clips of Serling on The Jack Benny Show and in conversation with Mike Wallace, audio interviews with cast and crew members by Twilight Zone Companion author Marc Scott Zicree, radio adaptations of classic episodes, and even the script for "Twenty-Two," complete with Serling's notes, round out the set, which belongs in the collection of anyone who's ever been enthralled by this landmark series. Now, if only the same treatment could be afforded to Serling's other anthology program, Night Gallery… --Paul GaitaThe Twilight Zone - Season 4 (The Definitive Edition) Despite major changes in personnel and the ill-advised switch to a full-hour format, Twilight Zone (with "The" removed from its title) began its fourth season on a promising note. Written by series veteran Charles Beaumont, the premiere episode "In His Image" maintained the high standards that Rod Serling had established throughout the first three seasons, and the story--about a man (George Grizzard) who builds an exact robot replica of himself, with dire consequences--fit well into the hour-long format that Serling reluctantly went along with. Twilight Zone struggled with its expanded length, resulting in some episodes that lack the consistent punch of earlier half-hour episodes. Exhausted by three seasons of prodigious creativity, Serling and Buck Houghton vacated their roles as producers (with Serling's involvement limited to script feedback, writing nearly half of the season's episodes, and on-screen hosting), and TV veteran Herbert Hirschman became the new show-runner (departing mid-season, he was replaced by Bert Granet), promising not to tinker with the series' proven success. But Twilight Zone was inevitably becoming a shadow of its former self, and the involvement of proven TZ writers like Richard Matheson, Earl Hamner, Jr., and Beaumont could not entirely compensate for Serling's growing detachment. Still, these 18 episodes include some fine examples of enduring quality, such as Matheson's "Death Ship," starring Jack Klugman and Ross Martin in a recurring nightmare scenario, and featuring the same spaceship model used in the 1956 sci-fi classic Forbidden Planet. Beaumont's "Miniature," starring Robert Duvall, was the only hour-long episode pulled from initial syndication (due to a plagiarism lawsuit that was ultimately dismissed), so its inclusion here (along with color scenes from its eventual syndication) is a welcome treat. Serling lampoons the medium of television with "The Bard" (with an early appearance by Burt Reynolds), and his teleplay for "On Thursday We Leave for Home" is the season's highlight, ranking among Twilight Zone's finest science-fiction episodes. It remained clear, however, that Twilight Zone was past its prime, and when the series was renewed for a fifth season in the spring of 1963, a return to its original half-hour format was a belated step in the right direction. Of course, season 4's overall strengths and weaknesses won't matter to collectors of The Definitive Edition DVD sets, and a wealth of archival bonus features make this a must-have addition to anyone's TZ collection. Image Entertainment and features producer Paul Browstein deserve extra credit for their diligent assembly of supplements that render all previous TZ releases virtually obsolete. Nothing has been overlooked, from the commentary (on "Death Ship") and interview clips by acclaimed TZ expert Mark Scott Zicree to the inclusion of a vintage TZ spoof from Saturday Night Live, radio-show adaptations starring Blair Underwood, Jason Alexander, Lou Diamond Phillips and others, and a vintage Twilight Zone comic book, accessible on computers with Adobe reader installed. There's even a brief Rod Serling blooper taken from a scratchy 16-millimeter print, proving that no stone was left unturned in making this a truly definitive TZ collection. --Jeff Shannon Review: The Twilight Zone- The Complete Definitive Collection - I didnt get into this show until the past year or so.

Review: The Twilight Zone: The Complete Definitive Collection - I Love It! - I do not give 5 stars to very many items that I purchase - in fact, I believe that this is the first time when a product has warranted such a rating. The Complete Definitive Collection is all that it claims, and more! The packaging is eye-catching, with its laser-etched hologram logo and artwork, and the 28 DVDs are securely packed in their book-style covers, with five separate inner volumes covering the five seasons which the series ran. There are innumerable extras included, which will provide commentary and insight into this classic Sci-Fi series, as well as a glimpse back in time to the fashions, adverts, and general 'feeling' of the late 1950s and the early 1960s. The video transfers are stunning. The 4:3 format monochrome images are clear and crisp, and the sound, while only monaural, is nicely recorded, and at no time does it seem to be overpowering or 'boomy'. The music of Bernard Herrmann and other contemporary composers is succinct and beautifully recorded. Some episodes have 'Isolated scores' which enable you to listen to the music track independently of the dialogue. The late, great Rod Serling presents and narrates each episode (or at least he has, as I have so far seen) and he also gives a quick outline of "next weeks episode" at the end. However, if you choose to wait until 'next week' to watch each episode, then it will take you years to view the whole series. I am currently restricting myself to watching two half-hour episodes per evening, and I do not recall looking forward to something on the 'idiot box' as much as this for many, many years. It's like seeing it all over for the first time! Some of the episodes are familiar, and are well remembered from their original airings, all those years ago. Others tend to unfold as you watch, and you may recall just one or two scenes, or situations, and you will find yourself saying "Aha! That's where I saw that!" The various tales are set in strange, almost two-dimensional settings, and the use of the basic props, combined with stark, low-key lighting, (which was warranted by the production costs at the time) are quite evident, but this fact only seems to add to the charm and ethereal quality of the tales. Even the exterior scenes have something of a 'magical' quality which is almost surreal. It is very hard to describe these sensations, but you will surely feel it, as you watch. Whether younger viewers will be similarly affected depends on how much they are prepared to suspend belief, but I am sure that most of them will draw something positive from the various episodes. The actors playing the parts in the series read like a Who's-Who of television and screen of the period. Some of them you will be able to identify on sight, while others may seem strangely familiar, and you will only be able to pick their names up from the end credits. Others still - very many - are 'unknowns' of the era, who never went on to act in anything else, but all the actors' appearances are nicely done, within the constraints of the late 1950s. Now, to my only two criticisms of this excellent series (and they are only tiny ones): The DVD menus, while of very good format, require that one navigates to each episode individually. What I mean is that you cannot just press 'Play All' and have the episodes play in unbroken order. At the end of each episode, you have to use the cursor on your remote control to navigate back to the main disc menu, and then select the next episode manually. This is not really a problem, and after the first few episodes, becomes quite acceptable. The second criticism I have is that one of the small booklets which shows the episode numbers and order on the disc, as well as giving a short precis on the stories, was missing from my set. I am currently trying to contact the producers of the boxed set (Image Entertainment) in order to ascertain whether I can obtain the missing booklet. So far, I have not had very much success. My verdict then: Top value, top production, top presentation, and top marks for the Definitive Series. It is a very welcome addition to my DVD collection, and will be re-watched and enjoyed over and over again, many times in the future. (Or is it the past? One can never tell - in the Twilight Zone....) ^-^
