I don't fully agree.I watched a good chunk of the recent marathon too, and I wasn't bowled over.  Instead, I was struck by how trite most of the episodes seemed to be.  The acting stiff, the dialog stilted, the camera work primitive.  From the point of view of a modern sci-fi fan, the plots had all been done before.  Now, that's because Twilight Zone had itself done many of them, and authors since then have taken TZ as an influence.  But there's not much there to really hold a modern sci-fi viewer who isn't particularly looking to go on a nostalgia or historical binge.</blockquote>
