If you have ever seen a Twilight Zone episode or if you like M Night Shymalan work you will love this collection. In Seinfeld, they once joked that this is the show in which you think something is happening but then it turns out to be something completely different...well that's a pretty accurate description of these masterpieces. I would recommend this collection to anyone..whether it is based on the nostalgia of black and white tv, the unbelievable amounts of stars that appear in episodes (Lee Marvin, Lee Van Cleef, Leonard Nimoy, Jack Klugman, William Shatner, Ida Lupino, Johnathan Winters, Burgess Merideth, Dean Stockwell, Charles Bronson....and the list goes on and on.), or the incredible depth of human experiences which is exposed in some stories or the sheer ironic delight of other stories. The Twilight Zone spoke out, although cleverly hidden in their tales, about racism, bigotry, violence, mob mentality, and what it is to truly be human. My only dissapointment with this collection would be that there is no subtitles available on this edition, but otherwise every single episode is there along with commercials of the time at the end of each episode (such as Rod Serling doing a commerical for ciggarettes). The special features are wonderful as well. If you enjoy this work by Rod Serling, check out his movie "Patterns" it is wonderful movie about corporate life. Can't recommend this highly enough. This is callback to when a television show could evoke real thought and true delight without being vulgar or graphic to keep your attention.
