Would you like to see "TZ" return to the big-screen?


Or is the small-screen its ideal home?

Either way I would like to see another attempt at a remake. Hopefully it would be done more in the spirit of the original with a good host. The 80s and 2000s remakes had their good moments but could have been so much better had they stayed more true to the original show. I like the idea of Bill Hader hosting.

I hear you don't need to use live people anymore in movies. So I think that using the latest CGI techniques, we could once again have Rod Serling (or at least a very life-like simulation) host it.

They haven't really perfected it yet. The current version of Hawaii Five-0 decided to do an homage to Jack Lord and put a CGI version of him in one of their episodes. It looked positively creepy. You can see it here. Yikes!

What the hell was that mess? It looked like a cross between Jack Lord and Boris Karloff in the Frankenstein costume. Yeeek!

Last year, when they first aired it, my husband and I thought for sure it was supposed to be a dream for McGarrett. I mean, the dialogue was fine. But no, it was part of the regular story. Creepy....

That would be the scariest thing Twilight zone ever did if they did that with rod. It looks unnatural.

I don't think Rod's daughters would agree to it anyway. They are very protective of his legacy.
