The younger you are, the more you'll enjoy UPN's short-lived revival of The Twilight Zone. Front-loaded with young actors (or marginal celebrities, like Jessica Simpson) and a bone-jarring theme by Korn's Jonathan Davis, the show panders to a teen demographic, which original-series creator Rod Serling would never have tolerated. It's a pale copy of Serling's original, and even the 1985 TZ revival was marginally better, but there are some memorable exceptions in this 43-episode, six-disc set. Not surprisingly, the best episodes are straight remakes of (or sequels to) classic Serling originals, including "The Monsters on Maple Street," "It's Still a Good Life" (with former child actor Bill Mumy reprising his creepiest role, and featuring a series-best performance by Cloris Leachman), and "Eye of the Beholder." Of the originals to this series, highlights include the pilot episode with Jeremy Piven; Jason Alexander in "One Night at Mercy," Amber Tamblyn in "Evergreen"; Lukas Haas in "Harsh Mistress"; Lou Diamond Phillips in "The Pool Guy"; ER's Eriq La Salle as writer, director, and star of "Memphis"; and a few others that capture the eerie quality of "another dimension of sight, sound, and mind."
Woefully miscast as the series' host, Forest Whitaker delivers facile introductions devoid of Serling's literary finesse. More often than not, the writing relies on forgettable characters and thinly-disguised variations on original-series themes; at its worst, the series demonstrates a staggering lack of originality, and the youthful casting frequently results in one-dimensional performances, with a few notable exceptions. It's hit-or-miss at best, but shooting locations in Vancouver, British Columbia, lend the series a visually stimulating variety of settings and atmosphere; production values are consistently high (as they were in the Canadian seasons of X-Files), and Rick Maguire deserves praise for his cinematography on virtually every episode. If you can forget Serling altogether (a difficult challenge for his devoted fans), you'll be able to overlook the flaws and enjoy some occasionally clever trips into The Twilight Zone as it was meant to be. --Jeff Shannon

I've been a Twilight Zone fan since I was little.
I purchased the 1980's version AND the 200's version of the Twilight Zone DVDs and love them both.
If you're a fan, you'll like this.

I had read all of the negative reviews about this version and after much hemming and hawing I finally decided to buy it and all I can say is that it was money well spent.
To the folks who have reviewed this and given it negative reviews because it is not the original twilight zone, I say you're right, there will never be another original twilight zone and this is not as good as the original. However, this version has many episodes that I remember (now that I have watched them again ... Read More

hi! the problem with these remakes of classic shows is the comparision of the old vs. new. if you have never seen(where have you been?)the 1960's version the new set is very very good in some episodes and great in others. either way, for the money, 10-12.00 you cant go wrong. make some popcorn shut the lights and enjoy!

I recorded every episode of this on VHS tape during the 80's when it was first-run. It is OUTSTANDING! It is MUCH, MUCH, MUCH better than the UPN series that aired in 2003 or so...buy this if you are a Twilight Zone fan, and don't be surprised if you like it more than the original series...

I did not really care that much for this new updated version of the TZ, but for 43 episodes and Amazon selling it now for ONLY $14.99 i'm sure this set HAS stopped being made and as time goes on it will be harder and harder for people to find and will become a collectors item!!
