I'm a big Sci-Fi fan. A follower of Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis as well as the whole reimagined Battlestar Galactica series. Ever since the latter finished, I've been looking for something sci-fi to watch - so I started watching the original Twilight Zone made back in the 1960s. I've been watching these for a month now and I'm up to episode 73 I think... Shot in classic black and white, most of the episodes have very original story lines. Every episode is a self-contained story about some strange occurrences which happen when someone steps into the Twilight Zone. There are a few episodes which have plots which are familiar - either they've been parodied on The Simpsons (or siilar show) or reworked into a film...

The episode below is really good. The Twilight Zone - Two: Season 3, Episode 1. Episode 066 (66) Original Air Date: 15 September 1961. It stars Charles Bronson as the Man and Elizabeth Montgomery as the Woman. Yes the woman who played the witch (Samantha Stephens) in Bewitched. And yes that guy from The Magnificent Seven.

The Twilight Zone - Two

Spoilers: In this Twilight Zone episode, it is post-war and a man and a woman from opposite sides meet - first a little hostile, then ending the episode walking away side by side resembling a bride and groom. If you've watched the episode and wondering what she actually says as they look at the manniquin with the dress: she mutters "prekrassnyi" (прекрасный), the Russian word for "pretty". The narrator Rod Serling closes the episode with: "This has been a love story about two lonely people who found each other...in the Twilight Zone."
