A couple of episodes start in about 40 minutes, and the marathon kicks off after two hours of infomercials that follow.
So yeah, who all's watching? The show is pretty much my New Year's and Fourth of July tradition, though I'm hoping for some hour-long ones this year. Thanks to many times watching this previously combined with Netflix I've seen the vast majority of the series, but I'm missing some of those.

You're not missing much by not seeing many from season 4. |

Yeah, aware it's kind of a down point, but I'm a bit of a completionist that way. Still, the episodes from it I have seen aren't exactly great.

And we are go. Wonder which is scarier to have appear to you in a mirror, a slot machine or the Ultimate Warrior.

I love The Twilight Zone, saw Season 1 and I think all or half of 2, ever since last year I decided watching it on Scyfy is my New Year's Tradition.

Tomorrow at 6:30 pm central time, the best episode of The Twilight Zone will be on. I'm talking about "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street".

Enjoyed "The Jeopardy Room" earlier. Martin Landau as a Russian defector who is being followed by a couple assassins who are to ensure he doesn't make it.
One wants to be an "artist" about the killing so they drug Martin and leave him a tape that plays a message declaring that he's going to "play a game" where a booby trap is in the room and he has three hours to disable it (and if he does so, he lives).
How..."Saw" like. Amazingly so. Great stuff.

I love the show and have quite a few episodes. Just bummed that netflix doesn't have season 4 but the rest are there. My mom actually got me into the show so I will always love her for that

Ugh, friggin' "Number Twelve Looks Just Like You", so ridiculously creepy. What's annoying is how they only somewhat hint at the possibility that the doctors might be tampering with people's minds during the surgery. Part of me wants to know for certain, because it completely alters potential analyses of the episode, and the ending in particular.
Didn't think I'd enjoy "Five Characters..." as much as I did. I appreciate episodes where you have a good idea what the twist is from the start, but it's all secondary to the storytelling/script/acting/atmosphere/etc.

I watch the marathon every year, or at least as much as my schedule will permit. My favorite will always be "The Invaders."

Wow, I saw a lot of episodes yesterday that I'd somehow never seen before. And I've been an avid viewer of these marathons. "And When the Sky Was Opened" (with Rod Taylor), "The Arrival" (the one where 3 guys see 3 different empty planes), "The Last Rites of Jeff Myrtlebank" (guy comes back to life at own funeral)......hell, I may not have even seen "Little Girl Lost" (girl lost in parallel dimension, famously parodied in an early Simpsons Treehouse of Terror ep) before either. Every time I want to buy the whole set on DVD/Blu-Ray, I think "Aw but I'll miss the marathon." Yet then I realize "I'll probably waste the money buying these and still end up watching the marathons anyway."  |
