Does anyone watch the biannual Twilight Zone marathons on Syfy? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I have for as long as I can remember.

I've also been able to track the progress of their episode cutting/editing as the years went by.

But after all these years I'm still thankful that they keep showing it. It's like the one thing you can always count on.

No, the editing, annoying commercials, squashed credits, voiceovers, pop-ups, etc... are enough to turn me away.

I really can't blame you; they do treat it pretty bad. I watch it mostly as a force of habit even though I have most of the episodes memorized.

Then do you watch TV at all? All that crap has pretty much stopped me.

Biennial means once every 2 years, while semi-annual means twice per year. Just for future reference...! I don't get Syfy, but I think the latter is more likely.

Very rarely.

You're correct, but "biannual" suffices as well. A lot of people get biennial (once every two years) confused with biannual (twice every year).

I sometimes watch with my parents.

I remember back in the 80's the Twilight Zone marathons for the 4th of July and Thanksgiving. A great way to spend the holiday. It was through these marathons that I first saw the hour long episodes.
