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

I've very little to add to any of the previous reviews. I just wanted to put it out there that anyone that may have been holding off buying any TZ DVD collection can stop waiting. Nevermind the superb A/V transfers from the masters, the bonus features are above and beyond anything any fan could hope to find. Commentaries from a who's who of the great actors that have graced the show, the fantastic music scores, the Rod Serling goodies,... they all make this set far and away the best DVD set to ...

I have been a fan of Rod Serling's THE TWILIGHT ZONE longer than I can remember and the show's first season is one of my main reasons. My favorite episode of all is 'WALKING DISTANCE' because it is evocative of everything great about this classic series; it has great writing, exceptional acting, definative directing and a wonderful atmosphere.
If there was ever a reason to watch The Twilight Zone, the first season is ceratinly it.

My 13 year old son is an avid Twilight Zone viewer so we ordered this set for his 14th birthday. What a value for the price. The shows are just as I remembered them and he was thrilled. We will definately order another series. It was a great purchase and transaction!

Save yourself from the crummy broadcast versions of the Twilight Zone that stations like to air at the holidays. The Definitive Edition seasons of the Twilight Zone are beautiful and crisp, and they belong in any serious sci-fi fan's collection. Though at times they can be a bit corny, they are part of American culture, and I highly recommend these shows, in the Definitive Edition. If you are a Twilight Zone fan, you might as well buy The Complete Definitive Collection and save yourself shipping costs.

When purchasing a DVD on any of the "Twilight Zone" episodes, I think it is safe to say that in the majority of cases the buyer knows those stories by heart. The main concern is one of quality. How does the picture measure up? In this case I have never seen better transfers. The images are excellent. They are sharp, clear and maintain consistent contrast.
Rod Serling was a man of great literary and social intellect, somewhat ignored because of the genre he worked within and was famous for. "The Twilight ... Read More
