Summary: Classic
Review: This show is a classic. It started off horror with a bang in the 60's and the show is still relevant and entertaining today. This shows a lot of skill and Rod Serling is a genius. This collection has such classics as "To Serve Man", "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street", "The Invaders", "Shadow Play", and "Time Enough At Last". If you like the show buy this! You will enjoy it and watch it over and over.

Summary: A series of Shadow and Substance
Review: Unbelieveable story telling with unpredictable twists have made me, a young, new fan to the series, love this series and every single twisted pathway that is the Twilight Zone. Unique in every way, it is unparalleled to this day for creativity and thought ever put into a television show. From the great love story " Two" to the comedic " Mr. Dingle the Strong" many of the greats are here. My experience with the Twilight Zone began last year, at halloween. My parents gave me The Treasures of the Twilight Zone, and More Treasures of the Twilight Zone. Being a naive youth that I often am, I contemplated taking back the DVDs. With great reluctance I decided to keep the DVDs, and opened them. And so, my mind became enthralled by this delightful series, which seemed to have been part of me before I had ever been truly exposed to the Twilight Zone ( Save the movie, which is a valiant attempt at recreating the Twilight Zone, it did frighten me to see the Creature at 20,000 feet at whatever age I first saw it). My mind was hooked with " Where is Everybody?" Which to this day remains my favorite, only furthering another reviewer's insight on being young and seeing this particular episode ( on a friday night at that). The next day I watched The Encounter, which with the right weather outside left me with a feeling of pure magic. This led with a need for more, so for my birthday, my parents gave me this collection, along with the Twilight Zone Companion. It has only furthered my love, and I can not wait to get collection 2 either on my own or as a gift. If you have a son or daughter who has an open mind and an active imagination, this is a perfect gift, give them the opportunity of experiencing possibly the best Television series ever made. This collection is very encompassing, going from space, to matters of the mind, to questions we all come upon. If you're on the boder of buying this set, buy the Trteasures first, then see where you were unfounded in your worries. This is honestly one of the greatest gifts anyone has ever given me. I bonded with a friend even more over this series. The most important thing it gave me was piece of mind. It taught me that it's ok to think differently, and that great things that can come from it.

Summary: Superb!
Review: Well if you're looking to buy this I'm guessing you're not a casual fan. You are probably like me a tight-wad who has put off for years buying the individual DVDs! Well now is the time to buy! The Twilight Zone is very much an individuals choice. There are universally loved episodes and the rest. The rest I find are the more interesting ones because I love a lot of them deemed average by "experts". I bought this because I've had it with ad breaks and logos on screen! You'll love at least 95% of the episodes here; use the search facility if you need titles. Just buy it; you know you want to!

Summary: Why TZ Will Not Be Released By Season
Review: Well, at least in my opinion it won't be, which is a shame. The reason why involves the potential lack of profit in doing so.The reason is not chronological order; with a show like the Twilight Zone, this means nothing. We're not talking about a series that has any type of continuity. Each episode was its own, with no cross references.

The problem is that the quality of the show went down in its fourth season, and took an even sharper dip during its fifth and final season. Don't get me wrong, there were some gems to be found; "Living Doll", "Death Ship", "Steel", "The Masks", and "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" are some that come to mind. But I think most fans of the series will agree with me in that the gold mine lay in the first three seasons.

So don't hold your breath for a season release. The company that did so would likely lose money on the final two sets.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is what TV is all about and the way it should be!!!!
Review: What's really frustrating nowadays is that a lot of directors think that they can satisfy an audience by throwing in a lot of sex,nudity,buckets of blood as well as body parts. But "The Twilight Zone" should serve as an example that you don't need all that [stuff] to make a good spine tingling,thought provoking movie or TV series!

My only complaint like eveyone else is that the episodes are not in chronological order and 90$ for 900 min is kind of expensive comparing the fact that you can buy each season of "24" starring Kiefer Sutherland which is 999 min long for 48$ and on 6 discs instead of 9 discs for the Twilight Zone. Apart from that, to have all 156 episodes on 5 collections is a dream come true!!!!!!!!

The Twilight Zone , The fugitive (1960) and 24 are my fav TV series!
