The Twilight Zone: Season 1 Box Set (5 Discs) (Blu-ray)

Finally season 1 of The Twilight Zone is out on DVD AND Blu Ray.
I remember my father owning videos of these episodes on VHS that he'd taped off the TV and I'd go downstairs once both my parents were in bed and watch an episode. Needless to say I was always very tired in school to next day due to lack of sleep!
The good thing about these episodes is that they stand the test of time very well and are still very watchable today. With stand out episodes like "Where Is Everybody", "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street" and many others, this season will show you how real sci fi and horror should be done.

The Blu Ray discs are excellent and is without a doubt the best the show's ever looked!

*****

I bought this from the US when it came out because there didn't seem to be a UK release on the way, now I wish I'd waited, because these are cheaper than the US sets, but the transfers and features are exactly the same!

It's nice to see that in this age of double dipping they didn't just re-do the DVD editions. All of the old features are there, but with a whole load of new features added too. There's even some audio adaptations of the stories. I'd never heard these before but they're really good!.

The main thing is though the image and audio on the blu ray. Both are oustanding. It's hard to imagine a fifty year old TV show can look and sound this good!

Since this was region coded when released i US!. But now it is released I just had to have this first thing I noticed is this if u look on the back side it say region code (A, B, C)....... :D

A fantastic release picture is amazing good to be from 1959, u also have the orginal sound and a re mastered track but all is 2:0 means mono! bout sounds suppricing good.

Something that is making me mad about this coverart work is that they have placed a white sticker on the from u cannot remove.

Also why do all dvd, bd relases from england has to have this rating system stickers on every part of the cover. ?
And it is not a smal sticker a huge thing that sticks out in every angel of the release.

Finally, The Twilight Zone, arguably the most influential anthology show comes to bluray in the uk. Gloriously presented in stunning hi-definition this set features not only 36 episodes of Season One but a whole host of extras including the never-before-seen pilot episode, multiple audio commentaries, interviews, radio plays, and much more, meaning that even if you've seen the episodes before there's still a whole wealth of material to be discovered. Freemantle Media have done an excellent job in presenting incredible quality transfers and you really will be blown away at how good a tv show over 50 years old looks today. Stand-out episodes on this set for me include "The Hitch-Hiker", "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" and "Time Enough at Last". With subsequent seasons also due for bluray release (including the often under-appreciated 1980's revival series) it's a fantastic time to be a Twilight Zone fan.

The film critic Leonard Maltin called The Twilight Zone possibly the best TV series of all time and Peter Wolfe described it as the best art-directed show in TV history and the most influential.

The Twilight Zone is one of the finest television programmes ever broadcast and it is great that each season is now being made available in blu ray format. Perhaps now a new generation will discover the wonders that this show contains.
