Movie Reviews of The Twilight Zone - Season 2 (The Definitive Edition)
Movie Review: Enojying the classics
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been fascinated by The Twilight Zone series since I was about 7 years old. I'm 41 now. Starting last year, I bit the bullet and decided to start getting the series on DVD. Just purchased Season 2 and while there are great episodes in each season, I have to say that a heavy concentration of my favorites are here. "Shadow Play" and "The Obsolete Man" are among the best works ever made for TV in my view. However, even the "lame" episodes in this season are fun to watch.
This is a must for any Twilight Zone fan. And if you don't know the show, this season is perhaps the best one to start with.
My only complaint -- and this is just a manufacturing defect, is that there were two "Disc 4's" in my set. Fortunately, it was just a mislabeling. The "other" disc 4 was actually disc 5, so everything was fine. I just had to write a 5 on the mislabeled disc and I'm good to go.
Thanks to all of the talented writers, directors, actors, composers, camera operators and all of the others responsible for making Twilight Zone a timeless and enjoyable piece of art.
Summary of The Twilight Zone - Season 2 (The Definitive Edition)
The middle ground between light and shadow just became a whole lot sharper and detailed with this stellar five-disc set, which compiles the entire second season of Rod Serling's classic television series, The Twilight Zone, and gilds the whole package by including a treasure trove of supplemental material. TZ's second season (1960-61) is a stand-out in the series' history thanks to its sheer number of memorable stories; among the episodes that have achieved pop culture landmark status are the chilling "Eye of the Beholder" (a disfigured woman undergoes surgery to appear more "normal") and "The Silence" (Franchot Tone wagers that Liam Sullivan cannot silent for a year); "The Invaders" (Agnes Moorhead is pitted against tiny space travelers), "Long Distance Call" (Lost in Space's Billy Mumy converses with a deceased relative on his toy phone), and the more light-hearted "Night of the Meek," in which department store Santa Claus Art Carney gets a chance to fulfill the real St. Nick's duties. As always, the combination of sharp, intelligent scripting (mostly by Serling, but with notable contributions by Charles Beaumont, Richard Matheson, and George Clayton Johnson) and superb casting (guest stars include Cliff Robertson, Dennis Weaver, Burgess Meredith, William Shatner, John Carradine, and Don Rickles) produces television that remains as thought-provoking and entertaining today as it was over 40 years ago.Though The Twilight Zone has received numerous home video releases over the years, the aptly titled Definitive Edition is arguably the finest presentation of this series to date. Each of the episodes have been digitally remastered from original camera negatives (even the episodes filmed on videotape look good) and magnetic soundtracks; Serling's previews for upcoming episodes and advertising "billboards" (sponsor spots) have also been included, as have commentaries by Rickles, Weaver, Robertson, Shelly Berman, and other performers. Clips of Serling on The Jack Benny Show and in conversation with Mike Wallace, audio interviews with cast and crew members by Twilight Zone Companion author Marc Scott Zicree, radio adaptations of classic episodes, and even the script for "Twenty-Two," complete with Serling's notes, round out the set, which belongs in the collection of anyone who's ever been enthralled by this landmark series. Now, if only the same treatment could be afforded to Serling's other anthology program, Night Gallery… --Paul Gaita
