Product description

The complete first season of the classic American television sci-fi series by Rod Serling. In each of the 36 stand alone episodes, an ordinary person finds himself in an extraordinary situation, where the laws of reality are suspended. In this series, a man arrives in a deserted town and can't help feeling that he's being watched, the residents of a peaceful suburban street begin to fear that their neighbours are aliens masquerading as humans, and a schoolteacher is followed around by a sinister small child. Episodes are: 'Where is Everybody?'; 'One For the Angels'; 'Mr Denton on Doomsday'; 'The Sixteen-Millimetre Shrine'; 'Walking Distance'; 'Escape Clause'; 'The Lonely'; 'Time Enough at Last'; 'Perchance to Dream'; 'Judgement Night'; 'And When the Sky Was Opened'; 'What You Need'; 'The Four of Us Are Dying'; 'Third From the Sun'; 'I Shot an Arrow Into the Air'; 'The Hitch-Hiker'; 'The Fever'; 'The Last Flight'; 'The Purple Testament'; 'Elegy'; 'Mirror Image'; 'The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street'; 'A World of Difference'; 'Long Live Walter Jameson'; 'People Are Alike All Over'; 'Execution'; 'The Big Tall Wish'; 'A Nice Place to Visit'; 'Nightmare As a Child'; 'A Stop at Willoughby'; 'The Chaser'; 'A Passage For Trumpet'; 'Mr Bevis'; 'The After Hours'; 'The Mighty Casey' and 'A World of His Own'.

Hugely Influential

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 August 2012

Verified Purchase

Starting in 1959, this groundbreaking series was very influential. Would science fiction have gone the direction it had if 'The Twilight Zone' had not existed. Would 'Star Trek' have even started?

This definitive collection of season one episodes is awesome. Generally regarded as the best, it has many of the classic TZ stories, and feature actors that we may not have thought ever starred in the series, or some just starting out before they hit the big time. Who remembers Martin Landau of 'Mission Impossible' playing a cowboy in one episode?

There is 'The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street', 'What You Need', 'One For The Angels', 'Walking Distance', 'A Stop At Willoughby'and 'Mirror Image'. All TZ classics.

Naturally, there are a few duds, which are mainly because the ending is so predictable, right from the start, such as 'Perchance To Dream' and 'I Shot An Arrow Into The Air'. Still well acted, though.

The collection is bursting at the seams with extras, such as commentaries, talks at later dates, radio dramas of the prtoductions.

With widescreen tv being the norm nowadays, it can be a little annoying having the black lines down the side, but it keeps the quality of the picture perfect. It is clearer than any of the episodes I've seen in the past.

Not only do I have season one, but I bought the other four as well. I think I've got a lot of good viewing ahead of me!

It is not necessary to discuss the impact of the show on the history of television which is considerable. I would like to say a few words about the technical aspects of this blu-ray release.

The transfer which is available for the european code region only just recently is outstanding in terms of image and audio quality. Obviously great effort has been taken to use the best film source material, which is most probably the original camera negative. Already (especially) the first episode is of a striking quality. But only after you get by the first scene which comes with a dissolve and is very grainy and soft. This is due to the fact that shots involving dissolves or optical manipulation needed to be second generation (a copy of the original negative). If you watch the show closely you can spot those shots almost instantly. But that's not a problem as the rest is just wonderful in terms of detail, tone and slight film grain. Interestingly close up shots regularly stand out even more in this respect (don't know the technical reason behind this). The audio track has been restored. In the menu you can choose between this and the "original". The restored track is remarkably good, voices are perfectly clear while the music score is, well, as good as it gets (still fine).

Overall a wonderful blu-ray release of the first season of Twilight Zone.

There's little to be said about The Twilight Zone that hasn't already been said before, but here goes:
This is where modern TV began. A groundbreaking TV show that encompassed horror, sci-fi and fantasy. A show that used genre to comment on the issues of the day and which paved the way for shows such as The X-Files and Lost.
The quality of the Blu-ray transfers is simply perfect. You wouldn't necessarily think that a 50 year old TV show could look and sound so good. But they do.
Added to this are many hours of bonus features, some of which are unique to the Blu-ray. You get isolated scores, commentaries, interviews and radio plays. You also get the very rare pilot The Time Element with optional commentary(though it should be noted that there are no subtitles for this episode). I cannot recommend this enough and look forward to subsequent Seasons.

The Original and still the Best

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 October 2014

This is where it all began - the grand daddy of all TV Science Fiction.

Considering these were made 55 years ago they are still outstandingly good thanks to the high quality writing of maestro Rod Serling.

Great short teleplays with brilliant twists in the tale at the end.

Make sure you buy the Blu-Ray versions for the superior picture quality and extras, makes them look like they were filmed yesterday as they have been taken direct from the original negatives.

The Extras are plentiful and extremely interesting - the Desilu Playhouse unofficial pilot from 1958 which hasn't been released before in any format, several Actor Video Interviews, many Audio Commentaries by cast and crew and my personal favourite - 34 Isolated Music Scores which are beautiful.

Simply Stunning, a must buy!

Twilight Zone 1

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 May 2012

Great quality the only frustration being that it wont expand in to letter box style so doesn't quite take advantage of my TV. But generally it is astonishing how good the picture and sound is considering how old the series actually is!

one of the greatest scifi shows of all time

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 August 2012

Verified Purchase

A true television classic, these are the early episodes of The Twilight Zone. While there is the odd dud episode and a lot of the plot twists you can see coming a mile away this is still a superb collection of vintage tv that looks and sounds fantastic on bluray. The Twilight Zone has been mocked, spoofed and ripped off over the years my personal favourite is Futurama send up The Scary Door but this show was years ahead of its time and creator Rod Serling has a good sense of humour and would probably have loved a lot of the spoofs of the show judging by the intros to next week's episode at the end of every episode. Some great guest stars including Burgess Meredith and Roddy McDowell these are excellently acted and very well written. A must for lovers of classic scifi.

What a fantastic release. Apart from the crisp 35mm picture viewers ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 April 2015

Verified Purchase

Wow! What a fantastic release. Apart from the crisp 35mm picture viewers are treated to a wealth of extras including the commercial break bumper during some of the episodes - which I love (Network - take note with The Professionals!). I recall one story (Mr Denton on Doomsday) played a few years ago on DVD, then playing it on this blu ray release. The way the HD version somehow makes the viewer more involved, even making the film more interesting has me puzzled, but sure enough it works. This is a fine restoration and worth investing the money to upgrade your DVD set to full blu ray detail. Thoroughly recommended.
