Rating: - Before You Buy This DVD set
Even if you have the series on VHS or previous DVD releases, the picture and sound quality is SUPERB. The transfers are perfect. The extras make it worth the purchase. It even contains a disc with one classic TZ comic book from the 1960s and 1970s in PDF format so you can read a classic issue on your computer. There is an extra DVD in this set, a laughable documentary titled "Submitted for Your Approval" which is also available as a single on Amazon. Just noting it so you don't buy both and find yourself in possession with a duplicate.
One small note: I definately agree with other reviewers. THE TWILIGHT ZONE: UNLOCKING THE DOOR TO A TELEVISION CLASSIC by Martin Grams is 800 plus pages includes "everything" about the classic series and is a wonderful companion with the DVDs. The book details Serling's writing career on radio, early television and Twilight Zone is well researched and highly detailed. Exclusive interviews with cast and crew and behind-the-scenes trivia will floor you. What you do is watch an episode and then read up on it in the book and you'll discover a wealth of trivia that makes this worthy of appreciation. Both the DVD set and the book is on Amazon.com. Do yourself the favor and get both. You'll thank me for it.
Rating: - beware of Mickey Rooney
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.
Rating: - A Great and Final Season!
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!

Rating: - Fantastic Show
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.
