Picture if you will a young writer called Rod Serling. Making great strides in American TV back in the 1950's, he became frustrated by the demands of the networks and how their executives would interfere with what he wanted to write.
So he hit upon a way to present stories in a format that nobody would meddle with. Since they appeared to be flights of science fiction and fantasy. But which nonetheless told the great truths about the human condition that he wanted to get across.
The show was to be called 'The Twilight Zone.'
And the rest is history.
Here in one box, spread over six discs, are all thirty six episodes of the first season of a tv legend. Both as a programme and for the theme tune. All in black and white and running no more than twenty five minutes, each episode tells a self contained story.
Most were written by Rod Serling, but writers Richard Matheson and Charles Beaumont and George Clayton Johnson also contributed episodes. Some of which are quite famous ones in their own right. Anthology shows can be hit and miss and thus ot every episode is a classic. But the ones that are have reputations which have endured to this day. If you've seen the show before, you'll know which ones are classics. If you haven't, then you have some great discoveries ahead of you.
The menus are slightly awkward, being those that require you to use the arrow keys on the dvd remote to move up and down and press right to move a page.
The dvds only language option is English.
Plus there are no subtitles.
Extras are mostly the occasional commentary from an actor or a member of the production staff on certain episodes.
Plus various audio only interviews with some of the writers and actors.
The extras section on disc six does though bring out some rare items. An issue of the Twilight Zone comic as a PDF file. This being one published back at the time of the show, rather than one of the version from the 1990's.
Just under three minutes worth of footage of the show winning Emmy awards.
And just over twenty minutes of 'The Liars Club' a comedy game show that Rod Serling presented for a year back in 1969. This is in colour.
It's a pity about the lack of subtitle and language options. But this is still a fine collection of a tv classic, and well worth five stars.
