Just got the set in the mail. Cant wait to start watching. Just hope this is the last time I buy this show. Lost track of how many times I double dipped with The original Twilight Zone series. I always did love the show. I remember when I was little one of the local TV stations use to air this show every night. Yeah they aired it back to back with the 80's series The New Twilight Zone. Liked the 80's series. But not as well as the original.
