I now have TZDS from watching on SyFy. I enjoy the more female-centric episodes. "Jess-Bell," "The Ring-a-Ding Girl," "Queen of the Nile," "Spur of the Moment," "Passage on the Lady Anne," "Living Doll," "Number 12 Looks..", "Eye of the Beholder" and so many more that do not feature women.
Consequently, many of my favorites were written by Charles Beaumont, Earl Hamner jr, and Richard Matheson.
Rod Serling said himself that he found writing for women more challenging, so good on him for passing the pencil to these great writers.
I'd have to say my bro is the biggest TZ fan in the world. Even though he has all the episodes on VHS, DVD and Streaming...he STILL watches the NYE SyFy event, with commercials and everything! So I'll give a vote for him. And, heck, I think I'll just go ahead and throw it on myself now.
My favorite ones... The Burgess Merideth / Time episode. The "Mask" episode. And the "Talking Tina" one.
Just wanted to say that I know I can go to other sites to watch it for free or purchase it myself, on digital...but the TZ marathon on TV is something I looked forward to for years now. There is still something nice about a good old fashioned marathon on live TV.
shareAgreed. I like knowing that I'm watching it with 'my people.' ;D
shareI like watching the marathon because the commercial breaks are pretty quick. They pop right along. And the eps roll right into each other. Its easy to stay engaged but still get stuff done around the house. I don't think the show flows the same way without the little intermissions. Which often in the episodes the intermissions denote time breaks in the story itself.
shareNow that you mentioned it, the commercials are definitely limited during the marathon! Which is interesting because it doesn't make any effort to inform the viewers this. Several times I got up to get something from the kitchen or use the bathroom and I'm like tf!? It's already back on lol
shareWe watched TZ on Prime on NYE. It's been a tradition for quite a few years.
shareDo yourself a favour, buy the blu-ray sets.
You'll never watch an episode of it on TV again.
