I must have watched every single Twilight zone episode 100 times, if not more. I can remember watching them all the way back to the 1970s, probably one of the most brilliant shows ever written. They had exactly 20 minutes to blow your mind and they would almost always do it despite the networks working against Serling at every opportunity. They even made him use video tape at one point to save money and back then you couldn't edit video tape, so he devised a system where he would use multiple cameras feeding into one tape and would switch them on and off and the whole show would literally be one take. Then they demanded he make the show a hour long so he would have to fill in an hour, and he almost always produced a mind blowing show. He's was a genius and a paratrooper in the 11th Airborne in the Philipines WW2, I actually visited his grave in the 1980s and paid my respects. The guy died when he was only 50 years old.

A true genius and way ahead of his time in many ways.

Just when I think I’ve seen all the episodes, I see another one I’ve never watched before.

And I supposedly own the “complete” sets on DVD. LOL
