In a way, the TZ format sort of caters to that lower attention span. If they remade the show, keeping the essential stories, just modernizing things a little, it could be successful.

The fact that all the plot is a rewrite wouldn't hurt the show because, as you said, kids these aren't going to watch the original anyway.


Sounds like you have a lower attention span and need more cgi to maintain proper mental masturbation in order to maintain completely missing the point of anything.

For example: if you really wanted to spoil that episode of : To Serve Man, you would have disclosed its moral, but I guess having a surface based opinion of just the facts is clearly enough to satisfy you.

I simply stated what I think might work as a show now. I didn't say anything about what I liked to watch.

I doubt it could be remade, most actors today are completely talent-less pretty faces to keep you distracted.

I hardly think a discussion on a 50+ year old 22 minute Tv drama would be much of a spoiler alert, but your welcome to try.

The Shadowman episode scared the shit out of me as a kid. LOL I guess that was the new twilight zone when they started making it again in the 80's

Fox and Jerry O'Connell doesn't sound like a great combo. Is that series on Netflix?

Who knew the idea of state rights were such an issue when the Nazis took over America, is this just an awesome historical perspective about the nature of men and people or a powerful foreshadowing of society in the future?

I guess i'll find out in the Twilight Zone.

The episodes sometimes hit or miss, but it's a very good series overall. The movie is pretty good aswell.

I found it full of hits - which idea did you disagree with?

I can't give you a precise example tbh. I watched many episodes of this show around 13-15 years ago, in my early teens, and I mostly remember the ones I enjoyed the most.

Calling them a miss might be too harsh, it's just that I recall feeling like some episodes felt lukewarm or subpar for the high standards the majority of episodes set.
