With its second season, The Twilight Zone began to expand and experiment more. Indeed, it was now a certified hit, but measures were taken in the second season to cut costs down, thus resulting in 6 videotaped episodes and a cutback from 36 episodes to 29.
Nevertheless, Season 2 is excellent and on a par with the first season. But more episodes are memorable from this season than any other, first and foremost 'The Eye of the Beholder,' one of the very best pieces of television ever produced. It is beautifully written, stunningly acted and ingeniously directed. The boxset is worth it for this alone.
But there are other wonderful episodes, such as the tight and tense 'Nervous Man in a Four Dollar Room', the ever-absorbing 'Nick of Time', the wonderfully OTT 'The Howling Man', and the almost sizzling intensity of 'Shadow Play'.
The videotaped episodes are very impressive, with 'The Lateness of the Hour', 'Twenty-Two', and 'Night of the Meek' being particularly good.
And we mustn't forget the excellent fun of 'Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?' and the powerful 'The Obsolete Man', the latter featuring a superb performance from Burgess Meredith.
Although shorter than the first season, this is truly gripping stuff, and maintains the high calibre of Season One. After this, the show would begin to go downhill slightly, but for now, it was riding the crest of the wave.

This is from the classic period - a very varied collection, with intreging and attention-drawing performances.
If you like short stories, then these are the nearest to the written form and some of the best - from an era when realism had yet to replace viewer's imagination.
The actors faults and strengths are very exposed in this genre and you may spot actors who were yet to make their mark,but see glimpse of what made them stars.
These disks remind you that garish colour is often a distraction - watch these and black and white Hitchcock, you'll see what I mean.
A trip into a distant and maybe more rewarding time - or just some great little ideas - you choose.

Yet again The Twilight Zone has been treated to a top notch box set.
I personally find on the whole the season isn't quite as strong as the first, but it's still great.
The image quality on the blu ray is fantastic, and if you're a fan of commentaries it's worth upgrading from the DVD's for Marc Zicree's new chat tracks.
To top it off there are fisteen of The Twilight Zone Radio drama's too.
