I purchased this first season hoping for a fun nostalgic Halloween viewing with friends, and it turned out that Rod Serling was just warming up here. The classic music was not a part of the episodes that we watched, and the (four?) episodes- out of many, it's really a lot of episodes- were all about alone-ness. After seeing these few, I wonder if Serling was in a reflective, perhaps depressed time of his life. They may have been ground-breaking at the time, but they aren't the mind twisters that I recall from late night television. Maybe season 2 is better?

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 lines of sci-fi, horror and suspense of the Seventies and Eighties.
Without this wondrous dimension, we'd never have the existence of other anthology series. But I digress, the Twilight Zone Definitive Edition is aptly well-named, as this offering brings back the best of the series' offering.
Season One offers many of the classic tales we've made into identifiable icons for the series: The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street, Time Enough at Last, The After Hours and Walking Distance (some which have now been recently made into graphic novels).
The interesting items about these tales, they maintain a timeless appeal to us. Besides being remastered from the negative, these episodes also contain 'And now, Mr. Serling,' in which Rod provides a trailer for the next show, as well as classic adverts for other programs and ads at the time. My only discern is, it seems the episodes cannot be played continuously as with most collections. However, at the writing of this review, I suspect the later volumes bring up this option.
Nonetheless, the Definitive Edition brings back the episodes the way they were meant to be viewed, uncut and unedited, with the stories intact. Remarkably, with those just visiting, or long-time tourists, The Twilight Zone Definitive Collection is the best product for those who loved the program and desire classic tales of beyond.
There's the signpost up ahead, your next stop: The Twilight Zone Definitive Edition Season 1.

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.
