The Twilight Zone

“ There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears, and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call ... The Twilight Zone. “

I remember when I heard those words first uttered for the first time in the very first episode of The Twilight Zone (hosted by Rod Serling) on CBS in October 1959.  It was called ’Where Is Everybody?” and it scared the snot out of me.

From then on I was hooked and barely missed an episode.  My mom was a big fan also and made sure we remembered to tell each other to be sure and not miss the next episode.

Rod Serling (the creator of The Twilight Zone) passed away decades ago but his legacy lives on in the new The Twilight Zone TV series from CBS/Paramount.

Hosted by Jordan Peele, The Twilight Zone Season One 4-disc DVD Collection would make Serling proud.

With its modern take on the classic series the show pays tribute to recognizable original series episodes and throws in a few new surprises of its own.

Like the original series the new series captivate your imagination, makes your spin tingle and make you think and ponder the possibilities.

Things are never what they appear and reality is only what we make of it and The Twilight Zone offers a reality all its own.

Included in the collection are several features including remembering Rod Serling, how the new series was made, analysis of each episode, commentaries and a music video and deleted and extended scenes.

It’s a classy collection of episodes paying tribute to a classic TV series.
