I really enjoyed this modern version of a TV classic. I loved the original and I still like the marathon they show on the 4th of July on Sci Fi channel. This UPN version is a lot of fun and features many great young actors. There are some cheesy episodes but the original Zone had its share of stinkers. Forrest Whitaker is great as the narrator and I love how they stay true to the wicked sense of humor of the original. Some of my favorites include "Evergreen", "Night Route", "Dead Man's Eyes" and the hilarious "Mr. Motivation". And the casting is great throughout- Castanza as Death!!!!! Really a great DVD package if you like Sci Fi and the original Twilight Zone.

Had a short run, had a number of great episodes and good special effects. Perhaps not quite to the standard of the new Outer Limits series which I enjoy more. But hey, the current price is right for a full season/series set.
For $18, and about 6 {I don't have it right in front of me?} discs, you can't beat the value for the money. I was thoroughly re-entertained. Though I'd forgotten that the episodes were only 1/2 hr (minus commercials, about 20-25 minutes) vignettes. Still, quite well done. Video is good, audio is good (of course I'm not a transfer/audio nazi, nor do I have a widescreen plasma tv to test it on), I'm pleased to have these great episodes available again at a good price.
I'd reccommend it. :)

This series represents the second attempt to revive TZ, and is vastly inferior to its predecessor. The series began with some built-in problems, particularly the choice of Forest Whitaker as host-narrator. Mr. Whitaker is a fine actor, but a poor choice to host the series, and he appears quite uncomfortable when introducing episodes, often walking around while delivering his opening lines. After watching some of these episodes, one can understand Forest's discomfort; he probably regretted accepting the job. Another major problem is that this series came out on UPN, which has never been (and never will be) a leader in quality programming. Although there are some interesting story ideas, they usually fall flat in the end. "It's Still A Good Life" is a noteworthy example. Intended as a sequel to one of the best episodes of the original series, and featuring original cast members Cloris Leachman and Bill Mumy (with the addition of Mumy's daughter, Liliana), this episode gets off to a good start, but the plot abruptly takes a silly turn, leading to a rushed, nonsensical, and unsatisfying conclusion. This sort of hackneyed plotting occurs throughout the series. Talented actors simply cannot compensate for lousy writing. This series resembles the original in name only, and even the worst of the mid-80's episodes is superior to this conglomeration of silly, poorly-written, lame stories. The kindest thing that can be said for this set is that it is reasonably priced and nicely packaged. Enjoy it for what it is, but, as Andy Taylor once told Gomer Pyle, "Don't over-expect."
