The Twilight Zone

I don't know why the some people seem to think this (2002) series was so bad. Sure, it's not the original. But like the remake in 1985, it has some good episodes and some weaker ones. we all loved Serling, but even some of the originals were a little weak at times. don't over-romanticize Serling. he was one of the greatest writers ever, but not just because of the twilight zone, but his great westerns, crime dramas, etc. and even the original series had a few clunkers - don't forget that he didn't write them all, anyways Compared to what's out there, from predictable sitcoms to endless CSI/Law and Order formulaic shows, this one's not that bad. Heck, compare it to the absolutely horrible Sci-F channel movies,, yuck! So, I say. I enjoy this version just fine. heck.. it's only TV.

Rod Serling must have been spinning over 1000 times in his grave after what was done to his beloved series. Why can't people simply leave a classic TV series alone instead of trying to bring it back years later and ruining what was good about it in the first place? They screwed around with it in the 80s and barely tweaked out a handful of watchable episodes. That wasn't tragic enough. They had to mess around with it again 20 years later. I'm surprised that Forrest Whittaker even took part in this joke of a series. I don't get it. All of these kids who graduate from colleges and universities with degrees in movie production and direction and whatever else they spend thousand of dollars learning can't come up with something new and original? Are they that unimaginative, lazy and/or stupid. Try to come up with your own ideas instead of stealing from the geniuses before you. I could figure out every original episode from the 60s that they stole from to make the most poorly redone stories imaginable.

I just recently bought The Twilight Zone on DVD. And I have to say I didn't expect it to be this good! If you like shows where every episode is a different story then this is the show for you! Every episode has a perfect element of mystery and sci-fi and will sure capture your attention. In this series there are 43 episodes, which is a lot when it comes to DVD's, so you wont get bored of watching. The show also has a great host, Forest Whitaker, he will be sure to get you into the mood of every episode. I found myself unable to stop pressing the play button on my remote control! The show also has a very good theme song, a new and modern variation on the old twilight zone theme, which is extremely enjoyable. I give this a 9 out of 10 because of its amazing story lines. Happy watching... In the twilight zone.
