Final Season winds down with some real gems amongst several dissapointments
By Michael P. Beck
By 1963-64, when the final season of Twilight Zone was being filmed/aired, the show had already gone through a cancellation, a name change, a change in length and was going on it’s 3rd president in office. So many wonderous ideas had made it onto the screen that the well understandably began to run dry. In the realm of science fiction, quite often a writer will begin to rely on cliches more so often after years in the genre. Such is the case with season 5 of Twilight Zone. Shows of this season lacked the precise structuring and engaging story lines of earlier seasons. Episodes such as ‘Uncle Simon’, ‘Ring-A-Ding Girl’ and ‘Ninety Years Without Slumbering’ simply lacked a feeling of involvement, and others such as ‘The Bewitching Pool’ were just poorly made, going so far as to intercut an overdubbed adult voice for that of a child character. Yet with all these complaints, I would be the first to say that with a show like Twilight Zone, I find myself returning to the clunkers with blissful abandonment, as there is a certain charm to even the worst that this series has to offer. And there are certainly plenty of clunkers available here for those viewers so inclined to induldge. But in a strictly objective sense, season 5 was arguably the worst of the series, with season 4 the only other contendor (although the different length format makes the two almost impossible to compare). However, the winners of this season unquestionably stand with the best of any other, amongst them being ‘The Masks’, ‘Living Doll’, ‘Garrity and the Graves’, ‘Steel’, ‘In Praise of Pip’, ‘Last Night of a Jockey’ and probably the most well known of the season, ‘Nightmare at 20,000 Feet’. The probable cause of the downfall of this season (other than Serling just becoming drained and disinterested), as mentioned in Mark Scott Zicree’s companion book, has to do with the fact that the final 10 to 15 shows of the season were written by authors who had never previously done work on the show and who probably had no deeper understanding of the mechanics inherant therein. Twilight Zone always had certain thematic elements that were steadfast, involving evil getting it’s ‘just dessert’ alla ‘Death’s Head Revisited’, and depicting human tradegy as devastating, alla ‘Time Enough At Last’. However, you will notice that shows in the 5th season written by these lesser authors thematically violated the time-tested zone structure, although again I find this to be curiously interesting from a fan’s point of view. I suppose the bottom line is that, regardless of how poor many of the shows from season 5 were, they are still better than 99% of the trash on TV today, and any fan of the series should own this one. Flaws aside, the gems included more than make up for any shortcomings.

My Favorite Season of The Twilight Zone
By Robert Weingartner
It’s a real shame that The Twilight Zone didn’t go beyond a 5th season. I have been a die-hard fan of the show when it was popular as a rerun in the 1980s. Personally, season 5 was my favorite of the Twilight Zone.To me there were many underrated classics in this season: “You Drive,” “Night Call,” “An Occurance At Owl Creek Bridge” (actually this episode is a French film. The story was written by Ambrose Bierce), “What’s in The Box,” “Stopover In A Quiet Town” and the rare non-syndicated episode “The Encounter.” It also includes the more well-known classics: “Nightmare At 20,000 Feet,” “Mr. Garrity And The Graves,” “The Masks” and “Living Doll.”There are also some great bonus features including a 90-minute in-depth documentary about the life of Rod Serling titled “Submitted For Your Approval.”Also included are audio commentary with some of the stars like Martin Landau (The Jeopardy Room), Mickey Rooney (The Last Night Of A Jockey), Bill Mumy (Praise Of Pip) and Alan Sues (The Masks). Interviews with Rod Serling; remastered picture and sound for superior quality and much, much more.This box set is worth every penny. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

Another Reference Level Zone Season on Blu-Ray
By Rift Corbitt
KUDOS to the folks at Image for NOT using evil DNR which would have destroyed Mr. Serling’s original intent. To those that do not know, grain is an literally part of the physical composition of silver nitrate. Grain=Detail not the opposite. To remove grain no matter how carefully always removes fine detail. So much detail is in this Blu-ray set you can even see the ripples and sheen of Rod Serling’s herringbone suits in some of the intro’s. That and the tiny lines on actors faces is detail to the MAX, almost like viewing the original film elements. Look how realistic Shatner’s [over exagerrated ] facial expressions are in Nightmare at 20000 Feet. On my 50″ plasma I can see every tiny line on his face as if he were actually standing in front of me. You don’t get that when DNR is used, what you do get with DNR is a waxy unnatural/unhuman look. See example here: [...]The folks at Image should also be proud for giving us unaltered, uncompressed sound as an option. For those of us who despise unnatural processed modern digital sound and this is a blessing of blessings. Coupled with the pristine video which thankfully was left totally unmarred in transfer due to no DNR or ee [edge enhancement], this Blu-ray set is as close to as a pristine 35MM print as any of us will ever get. This set showcases Mr Serling’s genius rather than try to conceal it in a shoddy revisionist modern manner and is truly reference quality.Only negative for me is the non inclusion of the PBS American Masters “Submitted For Your Approval” documentary that was present on the Season 5 DVD set. While this set is still 5 stars, the absence of the documentary leaves it just short of perfection. Brief note to Image, if you include it on the eventual complete 5 Season Blu-Ray box set, I will be taking away stars for being shafted.To the people at Image thank you again for NOT using amateurish cheapo digital hacks like DNR or EE and PLEASE PRODUCE ALL your Blu-Ray using the same level of quality and professional efforts as your Zone sets!!!!!Many company’s [ie: the morons at Anchor Bay or New Line] could learn many valuable lessons on proper Blu-Ray mastering from the people at Image who worked on these zone sets.
