sublime box set.......2006-03-21

First, let me say that Amazon did have the best value on offer for this DVD special box set, and that it's definately worth buying it.

I was already familiar with some of the best episodes of the series, when they were shown on the Sci-Fi Channel to celebrate its 40th anniversary. That's when I really got hooked!

This beautifully presented 6 DVD box set comes with a very comprehensive book detailing each of the episodes from the entire series (not just the first series). It is marvelously documented, illustrated and written.

The only thing that could have been done better is the sound quality of some of the commentaries added to the episodes, as well as the cursor highlighting when you're browsing through the episodes: the light blue color can't be seen very well over the white titles.

Apart from these minor issues, I give full marks for this beautiful collection. The episodes featured are absolutely breathtaking. I can't wait for the next series to come out.

The land of imagination.......2005-09-05

This is surely one of the greatest television shows ever created. In 1959, Rod Serling began The Twilight Zone and took millions of viewers on a journey into the land of imagination, and never has a television show excited the imagination like this.

The first series is the show's finest and sees some superb and powerful episodes, such as the touching and emotional 'Walking Distance' in which a man returns to the days of his childhood, the humourous 'Escape Clause', in which a hypochondriac makes a deal with the devil, the gloomy and unnerving 'Judgment Night', and the masterpiece of encroaching fear that is 'And When The Sky Was Opened.'

The amazing thing about the Twilight Zone was its ability to play with mood and instill different emotions, such as the truly creepy 'The Hitch-Hiker', in which a woman travelling cross-country is confronted time and again by the same ominous figure on the roadside. 'Time Enough at Last' is a classically ironic episode showing Serling's writing at its best. Charles Beaumont's 'Perchance To Dream' is fabulous, as is Richard Matheson's intriguing 'The Last Flight'. The clever trickery of the stylish 'The Four of us Are Dying' shows just how far ahead of the times the show was.

Powerful episodes such as 'The Purple Testament' and 'The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street' are balanced with the fun 'A World of Difference' and 'The Fever', the truly terrifying 'Mirror Image' and 'The After Hours' are together with such sentimental episodes as 'A Stop At Willoughby' and 'A Passage For Trumpet'. Superb stuff.

At last The Twilight Zone comes to DVD properly - remastered and with Special Features, this sublime series finally gets the release it deserves. The Twilight Zone is timeless, clever, fun, evocative, thought-provoking, terrifying, funny, gloomy and touching. A true tribute to the genius of Rod Serling.

Good.......2006-04-19

I rented this DVD thinking it will be a good fun as i was having a party. It was good fun, the idea with you have to score goals by overall answering 4 questions right (defender, midfield, striker, goal) on each player there is a topic, (eg- Gaffers, Kit bag, 04/05 season) The only reason why its a four star and not a five is that i noticed after playing the game for a 2nd time i noticed the same questions coming up again and again, and the video clips are the same. Also Andy Gray is annoying!
Good for one party. i recommened you rent, not buy

Very Good.......2005-12-29

I brought this game not knowing if it will be good, but when i started playin it i was suprised about how fun it was to play. The idea is to score goals against each other by answering questions which is a really good ideam and show you clips and you have to asnwer a question about it.

For all you people out there who don't like andy gray, like me, don't not buy the game because of that as you don't notice him that much
