So what do any of you TZ fanatics think about UPN's revival of TZ?

I think the TZ has just too much blood for me. My hubby enjoys all that blood and gore. He sits down and watches it. He finds it entertaining. Give me the old Blk/wht episodes anytime.

I'm interested in seeing a new TZ, but I don't expect it to top Serling's version. The key things that made TZ what it is today is notable to a few things:

1) Serling
2)Filmed in Black and White
3)Good writers for the series

I just can't see a color TZ lasting long. Yeah, I know they had an 80's TZ series. Don't get me started on that. You gotta have Serling and it just kills all suspense to see something in color. When the old series was filmed in B & W, it just gave it a spooky feeling. I'm gonna keep an open mind about the new series, but I'm doubtful...
