Submitted for your approval: The Twilight Zone's inaugural season, all 36 episodes complete with Rod Serling's original promos for the following week's episode, not seen since their original broadcast. 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 Liebenson

Submitted for your approval: a classic series about fantastic tales, stretching beyond the imagination and goes beyond the years they were broadcast. A series we simply know most formally as, 'The Twilight Zone.' Though the series itself was first broadcast in 1959, I didn't officially become a TZ Visitor until about 30 years later. Originally watching these programs in syndication, I enjoyed watching these tales, which in consideration, were far better than the offerings we were given along the ... Read More

This is one of the best sci-fi shows of all time.
There are no flashy CGI special effects. It has something better. Something that is practically unheard of in tv today. Good, fun, and thought provoking stories.

I recently bought this when it was on sale for $27.99 and I can say I have been thoroughly enjoying reliving these old episodes. True you can watch them online for free, but it's much nicer to be able to pull them off the shelf and just sit back and relax. The commentaries and other rare footage are an excellent addition that add a lot to the set. Anyone who loves "The Twilight Zone" will want this set.

Watching the original episodes is wonderful. I had forgotten how brilliant Rod Serling was and very interesting seeing actors such as Bergess Merideth, Agnes Moorehead, and many others in the early shows. Plan on ordering all the seasons episodes.

I was very impressed with the entire experience. It was handled with great professionalism.
