Syfy's New Year's Twilight Zone marathon (Monday, 12/31/12 - Wednesday, 1/2/13)

[Goodsport]

Who else here is looking forward to all (or more likely, at least part) of this annual tradition?

While I won't be able to watch a large chunk of the marathon, it's still cool to be able to record and watch certain favorite episodes (though I also always seem to find an episode or two that I'd never seen or that I hadn't seen in a long time). Also, if one still can't go to sleep after returning from a New Year's party, the marathon provides perhaps the only good thing to watch that late at night after the New Year's shows have long since ended.

I watch a few every year without fail.

It's a great throw back to the early days of the Sci-Fi channel, back when syndicated reruns made up most of their programming.

Funny, but I didn't realize how much I miss that stuff (and hate the Ghost Hunters and WWE bullcrap) until I watched the SyFy 20th anniversary special where they talked about how the channel has "grown".

I don't mind Ghost Hunters all that much- I don't watch it, though- but wrestling on SyFy has to be one of the worst partnering of station and demographic I have over seen. I haven't looked at the numbers, but I bet that if the WWE is doing well, its because wrestling fans will go wherever the show is. It would do just as well on Hallmark.

Thanks for the heads up! I definitely have to catch this even if only some of it.

The marathon is underway.

Had a blast- even saw one I had never seen before, "Ring-A-Ding Girl."

Also, episodes like "The Howling Man" and "The Last Rites of Jeff Myrtlebank" reminded me of just how rich a mine this show is for RPG adventures and PC concepts.
