If you’re a fan of TV, especially Sci-Fi, you must watch Twilight Zone – the original series which ran from 1960 to 1964. The series, created by Rod Serling is a TV masterpiece with its unique storylines and plots. You would have been exposed to the magic of the Twilight Zone even if you’ve never watched the series as it has influenced and been referenced countless times in many sci-fi and mainstream shows and movies. The name itself is synonymous with the idea of weird and odd things happening to you.

The Twilight Zone formula works like this: unlike a sitcom with a running theme which continues every week, the show tells a strange tale every week. If you haven’t been watching, go look it up in YouTube or CBS which host full episodes for you to watch Twilight Zone online. Or you can go to your local library and borrow the DVDs. The show also had a movie released back in the 1980’s, had two revivals and a copy cat show called The Outer Limits. The guest stars in the show include a very young William Shatner, Robert Redford, Leonard Nimoy, Robert Duvall, Dennis Hopper, Burt Reynolds and many others you may recognize if you’ve watched TV shows like Bewitched, I dream of Jeanie or Batman.

Don't Text & Drive

Yes, most of us are guilty of doing this: SMS texting whilst driving. (Or updating FB status, tweeting) In the PSA (public Service Announcement) video above created by went Police Department in Wales, they wanted to create a viral video which was graphic and violent in nature to grab people's attention as to what could happen if things do go wrong.

Simpsons and the Twilight Zone

Simpsons and the Twilight Zone

Body:

Twilight Zone rocks! I was watching episode #91 "Little Girl Lost" (1962) and the story seemed very familiar. Why? The Simpsons parodied (or rather stole the plot line... much like how Family Guy rips off Simpsons). Little Girl Lost was parodied in Season 7 episode 6 (706), a segment of the annual Treehouse of Horror VI: Homer³. Homer does throw a reference to the Twilight Zone as he sticks his hand into the wall: "That's weird. It's like something out of that twilighty show about that zone." However, instead of recovering a lost girl in the 4th dimension, Homer (the 2D character) and later Bart fall into the 3rd dimension.

The Twilight Zone - Original Series

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 02:47:11 -0700

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.

When does Stargate Universe Start? I thought it would start in Summer 2009

Body:

Can't wait until this series actually gets started. I'm desperate for new Sci-Fi TV to watch! So much so I've restored to watching the original series of Twilight zone. Stargate Universe is scheduled to start in Fall 2009. October 2 on the Syfy (SciFi) Channel. 6 guys to 3 women ratio in the main cast ensemble, has there ever been a stargate series with a 1:1 ratio for men to women? Stargate Atlantis had 4:2 and Stargate SG-1 had 4 to 1 or 3 to 1 depending on how you count it. Hmmm...

Ghost World

Sun, 16 Aug 2009 20:25:26 -0700

Is Ghost World a chick flick? No. It's a film about chicks though. One in particular most men would know about: Scarlett Johansson. I'm not a real big fan of these sort of films. It's like Juno, where the film is told in the point of view of one of the characters, and just follows them like a documentary of their life. But its also one of those movies you don't really take at face value to fully appreciate the story and motives behind the writing. Anyway, I'm not going to review the film at all or spoil anything here besides saying that Ghost World worth watching.
