Movie Reviews of The Twilight Zone - Season 5 (The Definitive Edition)
Movie Review: beware of Mickey Rooney
Summary: 5 Stars
I spent over $800 on the VHS videos from Columbia House two decades ago. I spent less than $140 for the complete DVD set and discovered more treasures, rare filmed interviews, bonus extras and high-quality transfers that are far superior to what I have been watching the past 20 years.
Some of the series' best gems can be found in this box set. The commercial billboards are great. The radio audio dramas are enjoyable. Some of these episodes, however, do not include original music score compositions. Mickey Rooney's audio commentary is awful. Grouchy, grumpy and frankly, the only reason I see them even including the commentary is to show the public how grumpy he can be. And rude. Other than that, the box set is great.
The retail price keep lowering over the months but by now it's beyond affordable. I recommend you grab this season box set today.
I also suggest you buy "The Twilight Zone: Unlocking the Door to a Television Classic" because the 800 plus page book is a P-E-R-F-E-C-T companion to the DVD box set. Before or after you watch an episode, you can use the book to uncover the in-jokes, bloopers and trivia that make viewing these episodes fun. Watching the shows is one thing, knowing the behind-the-scenes stuff is even more fun. Both are available on Amazon.
Movie Review: A Great and Final Season!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Fifth and Final season of The Twilight Zone still has some great episodes in it. It also comes with a lot of extra bonus footage and material, as well as a special biography of Rod Serling himself. I think the ratings had started to go down near this season, and it was finally cancelled. I wish there could had been more episodes and more seasons of this show, but everything has to end sometime. There were many other series that were made from Twilight Zone, but this will always be the bestest Twilight Zone series I have ever seen!Movie Review: The Twilight Zone: Season 5

Movie Review: Fantastic Show
Summary: 5 Stars
First time i saw this show was in 1983,and they showed it late at night.
I was amazed at this series,which seemed to realy make you think.....what if?You watch an episode with all its twists and turns and at the end you would be suprized by a fascinating ending.
I couldnt wait each week for each episode,and i then found out some of my friends were also watching it.I remember we just sat around talking one day about the episode To Serve Man.We just couldnt get over how well that particular episode was made.
The show ran for about a year then,but i didnt see it again till i started buying the episodes on DVD.That was in 2002.Its great they are putting out alot of series out on DVD nowdays so we dont have to wait such lenghts of time till we see them again.
Now this series was filmed in black and white,but i realy think that it adds to the mystique of the atmosphere surrounding each episode.
That eerie music is a sensation.
If you purchase this season then you cant go wrong with this masterpeice work from Rod Serling.
You cant go wrong with any season of this series.

Summary: 5 Stars
I reccomend this to ANYONE! You should seriously get this item! But then again, I love The twilight Zone. Some of the GREAT episodes:
Living doll: Talky Tina is a sweet doll that says "I love you" to everyone. But to the dad of Christy(the little girl who owns talky tina) She says much, MUCH more.
Night call: A women gets mysterious phone calls, starting at night. She is alone. Also, there's a storm about her. Who is it? Well who could it be..... the powerlines are down.
Queen of the nile: Pamela Marris, a movie star. A reporter. A 'mother'. And a rare, strange bug.......
The masks: Four greedy people, and an old man about to die. Martigrah. What is so 'special' about these masks?
And much, much more for you to enjoy, such as these:
In praise of pip, Steel, Probe 7 over and out, the 7th is made up of phantoms, Black leather Jackets, Last night of a jockey, the bewitchn' pool, etc!
Really, you'll love it.
