January 12th, 2021 Bad Brad By William Kozy Since I started writing these reviews, this is the first episode that I’ve arrived at that I had never ever seen before. So, it’s a unique experience to discover an episode that is 60 years old but brand new to me. I wasn’t expecting much since “The Brain Center at Whipple’s” received […]

January 7th, 2021 Bad Brad By William Kozy There are two kinds of creepy. One is the kind where you have an uneasy sense of dread regarding mystery and danger being dangled in front of you, and the other kind of creepy is the unpleasant annoyance you might feel toward a person or situation that is possibly tinged with a […]

December 30th, 2020 Bad Brad By William Kozy “One More Pallbearer” could indeed have used a few more voters to carry it up from the near-depths of the survey results to the question: “What is your favorite episode of the original Twilight Zone series?” Receiving only 3 votes, it was tied with 6 other episodes for 133rd thru 139th place.

December 9th, 2020 Bad Brad By William Kozy The overly histrionic ranting of “Four O’Clock” led to its receiving only 3 votes in the survey asking “What is your favorite episode of the original Twilight Zone series?” This put it in a tie with 6 other episodes for 133rd thru 139th place. It’s an unpleasant episode to sit through, despite […]

November 25th, 2020 Bad Brad By William Kozy Here’s an episode that deserves much better than to be lumped in the group of episodes that received only 2 votes from respondents to the poll asking “What is you favorite episode of the Twilight Zone?” It’s miles better than that group’s “Cavender Is Coming”, “From Agnes – With Love”, “Black Leather […]

October 27th, 2020 Bad Brad By William Kozy “The Lateness of the Hour” was the first of the six Twilight Zone episodes to be shot in the failed experiment called “Let’s shoot videotape to save money!” The poor visual quality though was very obvious to viewers, and the practice was soon scrapped.
