Hello All and no one too, unless you are certainly serious of knowing who you are? Boy talk about a very broad introduction with my entry for tonight and what is even stranger is that the topic that I am ripping into was perditicted last year, and of course also in the start of this very year some thrity one twisted days ago. Of course what ever it is, that I talking about is something like sixty five years old till when October second of this year when it will be celebrating it's sixty six years of being around! You'll undoubtedly notice that whatever it is that I am reviewing now has been talked about on the internet for a very long time, and I will admit that my take on this series my not be the best out there, but I really want to also use this very series to do my best to to explore who the narrator and creator Rod Serling himself was.... that goes beyond what I am absolutely able to find out on the the internet. This past summer I had gotten the opportunity to find the original Twilight Zone on Blu-ray along with Rain Man on 4k Blu-ray and the original seven movies that as far as I remembered was only six movies of the Police Academy on DVD at my local Best Buy store. Before this past summer, I have had the original Twilight Zone television series on DVD box set that I had picked up at Wal-Mart way back in twenty sixteen. Which yes if you are asking are there differences in the two formats the answer is certainty YES, also one more thing that I do have to mention is that I have one of the very small box set fan favorite set of Twilight Zone episodes volume one that I got from at TARGET! back in twenty fourteen. Here is a photo of the Blu-ray and DVD set on my coffee table, the one laying flat with the red Twilight Zone text with the spiraling tunnel is the DVD set, the one standing up is the Blu-ray set the one that will be used for these reviews: so let's get our minds together thinking about this classic television series shall we? I have been thinking about how I want to present the series as a whole with each and every episode, and here's what I came up with a photo from the very episode of which I am talking about and the over all summary, then as well the big time star/celebrity who appears, and how it relates to our world today if I can think of it too. The first Twilight Zone episode aired on October second, nineteen fifty nine and so here it is!
The man in television beside Rod Serling here, is walking from out of a area of where a lot of some trees are, down a dirt road till he comes upon this very small cafe and walks in. He see that no one is here, he says he is hungry and finds two dollars and eighty five cents in his clothes that he has on. So the one and only thing that we the viewing audience and he himself knows is that he is a American citizen. After he can't find anyone around he leaves the tiny restaurant and continues to explore his unknowable whereabouts by walking into the newest upcoming place he is able to find, and still has no recall of who he is? As he tries, to finding out who he and why he is where he is, after exploring the small town he does trying using whatever part of names he may know when he ends up trapped in a telephone booth.... he tells us the viewing audience the very title of this very first episode "Where is Everybody?" My overall opinion of "WHERE IS EVERYBODY?", is that it is good in keeping the viewer's mind full of wanting answers to the man without a clue of who he is, gives out even answers even more from the very start of when he while in the Cafe's kitchen a thermometer timer hits the floor and without giving away the twist of the story he breaks the clock of the machine he is in. The one very interesting giant twist within this episode to me is the possible title of this episode being shown when the protagonist is in a general store and he comes upon a book spinning rack that even by it's very title makes him and you, or us, as a viewer know that he might be well for all intended purposes an alien or "THE LAST MAN ON EARTH" and besides that being a cool side note, I do love how Serling himself gave us one more thing to ponder at before throwing us the actual answer. So before going into what I noticed making it rather overwhelming oblivious about a certain filming location I want to let you know that on all of these Blu-ray disc include radio drama of each episode. What is neat is there are many different versions of the classic Twilight Zone episodes on YouTube and other viewing platforms, but as to what is on these may not be on any of those too I rightfully don't know for sure. Each one of these radio dramas have a very interesting star as the leading character of the story.... I will certainly be sharing all of the details of the additional bonus material on the Blu-ray set because as far as I do know there is a lot more than just the radio dramas as well. As to the location shooting here is... is in fact shown decades later on in a very famous Steven Spielberg set of films that the Twilight Zone did quite often, that being of course known as Time Traveling! Before getting into not only my grade of the very first episode of the Twilight Zone and of course my screen caps on both my phone and my tablet over the month January, I want you all to know if you are willing to look hard enough on the internet anyone can find some very cool takes of things of old as even the Twilight Zone. That is one very interesting points of the original uses of this world wide computer anyone can find helpful information besides our brains in being absolutely creative. My whole part of my meaning is that with words both uses of either creating something from your heart and soul or from your hands as well can be as Leonard Nimoy's Star Trek character of Mister Spock would say is "FASCINATING" and here's what I am meaning in the case of the Twilight Zone example, when our the amnesiac protagonist is making a bowl of ice cream scoops before turning to at first question himself ? See what I mean by one finding a comparison to a specific scene of anything you maybe looking for. There is one very important thing that always happens during any production of any series, that of course being that the creator of any series gets to meet the person who is portraying the creation of what is written on paper. Between scenes being made of "WHERE IS EVERYBODY" Rod Serling got to meet his Amnesiac actor
Earl Holliman, who is as far as I know still very much alive at the age of a youthful ninety five years old. My overall grade for "WHERE IS EVERYBODY" the pilot of the anthology series called Twilight Zone is an A minus. The reason why is like the rest of the fourth coming series, will always give us as humans a chance to explore the possibilities of the human condition throughout our existence of living our lives each and everyday we are given an opportunity for knowledge of knowing more than just about ourselves. Now on to what I have had on my tablet over the month of January into this one of February.... my main lock screen when I was turning on my tablet was a very venturous look at a pre Black history month representation with this a Marvel comics SUPER HEROES trading card of Spider-Man in his Black Suit from their trading card set of nineteen eighty six. This was way before they had the idea of coming up with the suit being known as Venom completely. As to when it comes to my love of science fiction outside of both anything of comics or Star Trek, and of course a very interesting anime from the late nineteen seventies and I know that I don't need to name it. This was on my tablet after unlocking my main lock screen
the death star from Star Wars is ready to attack our blue marble called earth.... or is it in Star Wars lore Princess Leia home planet of Alderaan from the first episode later known as Star Wars episode IV A NEW HOPE released originally in nineteen seventy seven by a little known writer and director named George Lucas, who owned the property name from nineteen seventy seven till twenty eleven when he then in twenty twelve sold his ownership of Star Wars to the Walt Disney company, and deep down I don't know how I feel about that. Throughout the month of January when I would look at my tablet screen size of nine inches by seven inches I would see mostly Blackness with a few blurry white and grey areas of where the tiny gleaming stars are. As to what I have had on my phone when I had entered my password I was able to be absolutely puzzled if you were to see this.
One of those ol so classic pictures of mini pictures to making a image that one can honestly get their mind so bogged down with by studying it for a long time, and may still not be able to completely bring the challenge to a complete conclusion? So this image is very much greatly engaging in a blog post about the Twilight Zone itself.... When one realizes that all of those tiny images are making up a complete picture of the original creative writer and narrator of the Twilight Zone himself Rod Serling! Then at the same time of seeing/viewing Serling in a puzzling way before unlocking my phone, I was lucky enough to find on some website where someone had shall we say made this very impressive impact full wallpaper.... 
Rod was able to get together in an offbeat way with his former star of two of the Twilight Zone's most what would I say to describe "NICK OF TIME" and of even more outstandingly famous "NIGHTMARE AT 20,000 FEET" as with anything Twilight Zone related is very thought provoking with William Shanter also known years after the Twilight Zone as cretain captain of a space vessel referred to as the Enterprise from a little series called Star Trek. Just imagine if you will Rod Serling himself giving us a tease of the original series of Star Trek lore before each episode begins.... and then he would close every single episode with a totally twisted thing to ponder till the newest episode was released? Just a curious thought of how HIS and Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry would have been a great example of how science fiction translated so well together. Oh there's one more thing that for me Matt to reveal to you my readers and that is for you to see the background plate of this very site to change from this of an eye with a shadowed planet as the pupil in center and at the same time is it a wolf or a canine of some kind in space. This has been part of the background plate since December of last year.... finally I pretty much still have a blog series about the history of the planet on a multitude of ways to understanding why we need to certainly respect our home. I honestly hope that I can continue to make this series on the Twilight Zone a very interesting view of this anthology of somewhat of the time era it is officially set in during it's run and how it forever changed the world of creativity wise along with understanding of if not breaking the rules in that creativity at least bending it, to work on understanding the principles of the human condition of our own society.
