Description
Unlock the door to another dimension with the fifth and final season in Rod Serling’s classic series charting the outer reaches of The Twilight Zone.

The switch to an hour-long program made these episodes cumbersome and boring. It was slow-moving and seemed to suffer the same problem as hour-long episodes of ‘The Other Limit’, 25 minutes of substance stretched over 50 minutes. Least favorite season of Twilight Zone.

I THINK THAT THE THING THAT SCARES ME THE MOST IS THAT THIS MAY BE THE LAST SEASON. THE FIRST FIVE DISC’S OF SEASON 5 CONTAIN THE USUAL TWILIGHT ZONE EPISODES. BUT DISC SIX “SUBMITTED FOR YOUR APPROVAL,” GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS. I WON’T GIVE AWAY THE BEGINNING, BUT AS ODD AS IT MAY APPEAR OF AN INTRODUCTION FOR JUST ABOUT ANYONE ELSE ON THE PLANET, I THINK THAT ROD WOULD HAVE REALLY APPRECIATED IT. MY FIRST IMPRESSION WAS HOW DISTASTFUL TO MAKE A MOCKERY OUT OF SOMEONES DEATH, BUT AS YOU KEEP WATCHING THE REST OF STORY, YOU START TO GET A DEEP INSIGHT INTO ROD SERLING. AND YOU JUST KIND OF KNOW THAT ROD WOULD HAVE APPROVED. EVEN IF YOU DON’T HAVE ANY OF THE OTHER TWILIGHT ZONE DEFINITIVE EDISION SEASONS, YOU MUST GET THIS ONE.

Considering the quality of todays science fiction, season 5 of TZ is monumental. The TZ storys are well crafted, and not just monsters in space with lots of blood and gore and guts.
“Cowboys in space, shoot ‘um ups” get rather tiring, so, all five seasons fo TZ are a good place to spend time, being at one, with your brain cells.

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.
