1. Haven't got around to that one yet.

Much interested though.

2. We've been having fun

going through TZtos from the beginning. :D Almost every episode we play a game of "Isn't that...?" So many young actors got their first TV work on TZ, William Shatner being probably the biggest example.

The other thing that strikes me is TZ was so well done, so compelling that individual episodes stayed with you for a lifetime, even just viewing them the one time originally. I remembered two so far:

The young woman driving across country by herself and trying to avoid a hitchhiker.
The writer with a tape recorder that lets him conjure up characters in real life.

How many TV shows can say that?

3. I've watched so many Twighlight Zone episodes on Netflix

streamer multiple times. IMHO Rod Sterling was a genius. This show was so ahead of it's time it can't even be explained. Ordinary people being in unbelievably bizarre situations, time travel, and on and on. Without question it's one of the best T.V. series ever!

4. I heard there is going to be a BioPic on Serling

One of the most influential TV writers of all time!
