Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
The wonders and perils of childhood form the framework for this excursion to the middle ground between light and shadow. All three episodes are second-string efforts that hint at the creative downward spiral the series would take in the third season.
"The Gift": A mysterious gift bestowed upon a young Mexican boy by a dying space traveler is discovered too late to have miraculous powers. The episode, originally written prior to filming the show's pilot episode, travels the same thematic path as Serling's "The Shelter" and "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street," but to lesser effect. Vladimir Sokoloff's empathetic performance and a score by classical guitarist Laurindo Almeida are highlights; future director Paul Mazursky appears as a military officer.
"Young Man's Fancy": A newlywed (Phyllis Thaxter) struggles to overcome the influence--and spirit--of her husband's dead mother. Despite Thaxter's finely pitched performance, this is a muted effort from writer Richard Matheson, who disliked the end result.
"The Incredible World of Horace Ford": Based on a Studio One production by Twelve Angry Men author Reginald Rose, this hour-long episode from the fourth season follows an immature toy designer (Pat Hingle), whose visits to the neighborhood of his youth teach him that childhood nostalgia is often far from the truth. Hingle is alternately moving and grating, which blunts his final lesson, but Rose's script (which originally had a more downbeat ending) is affecting and dramatic.
As with the previous volumes, Image's DVD also includes episode commentary and a history of the series by Twilight Zone historian Marc Scott Zicree. --Paul Gaita

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.

`THE GIFT' and `YOUNG MAN'S FANCY' are two episodes that should have been much better. `THE GIFT' written by Rod Serling and Directed by Allen Parker deals with a man, played by Geoffrey Horne, who may be an extraterrestrial or not who is held up in an isolated Mexican town. Geoffrey Horne does poses strange self-healing powers and resistance to pain, which he demonstrates to a small boy and a village doctor. He befriends the small boy and leaves with him `The Gift.'
