"Static"
Dean Jagger turns in a finely tuned performance as an aging curmudgeon who eschews the picture tube for the old-time radio. But the radio in question tunes in only to the past, where Jagger might make amends for lost opportunities. The fact that Rod Serling repeatedly revisited this subject matter in episodes like this one and "A Stop at Willoughby" suggests a deep-seated penchant for romanticism--or that he was greatly overworked. One of only six episodes shot on videotape, the downgrade in visual quality lends a chamber-drama quality to the episode's return-to-simpler-times theme.
"Four O'Clock"
A lone bigot holed up in his little apartment with a vast card catalog of "subversives" has come up with the answer to all the "evil" people in the world: At four o'clock he will make them all two feet tall! Only--as so often happens on TZ--the biter gets bitten and comes up a little short himself. Theodore Bikel plays the paranoiac with relish.
"The Parallel"
Bearing a striking resemblance to the classic 1969 film Journey to the Far Side of the Sun this is one TZ episode that deals strictly with science fiction, in this case the possibility of parallel universes. Steve Forrest plays an astronaut returning from a space mission only to find himself in a world askew, where everything looks the same but small differences keep cropping up (JFK isn't president, for example). Space exploration and the depths of the unknown make familiar bedfellows in this hour-long piece from the fourth season that earns every minute of screen time. --Jim Gay

There are only 3 episodes in this DVD. I really enjoyed Four O'Clock, and the Parrallel was second in this collection. Didn't really enjoy Static, but see below for the breakdowns
" Static" - 2.5/5 stars - is the story of an aged man living with older mature adults who complains about the 'present' technologies and misses the past when he stumbles upon a radio that brings him the good-ole-days: the only issue though, is he is only one that can hear it.

I have a whole stack of episodes from this series.I wouldn't say every episode is brilliant,but some realy leave you thinking.Here is a good selection from the series.Makes me wonder at times where they got the ideas for these episodes.There is nothing quite like it on Tv these days,they rely too much on special effects rather than a good script and fine acting.The twists and turns to each episode keep you interested.

Volume 35 contains three stories, STATIC, FOUR O'CLOCK, and THE PARALLEL. STATIC was filmed with a videocamera, not with photographic film. Thus the image quality is slightly impaired. STATIC is excellent. FOUR 0'CLOCK (at least in my opinion) is irritating, since its disclosure of a mean-spirited man is too close to reality. THE PARALLEL, at least in my opinion, could have been better developed.
STATIC takes place in a rooming house, with various elderly people. Most of them like watching ... Read More

Six episodes of the "Twilight Zone" were recorded directly onto videotape instead of film. STATIC is one of those episodes. It was written by Charles Beaumont and directed by Buzz Kulik. It starred veteran character actor Dean Jagger as a cantankerous old man tired of the mundane quality of television. Confined to a boarding house full of idly comfortable couch potatoes, he longed for the simplistic days of his beloved radio broadcasts and for a fellow boarder whom he once loved but was never able to express ...
