50 Years Ago Today....The Twilight Zone

I love that show.

The new series (the one in the 80s and the most recent one) suffer from one thing IMO....the lack of Rod Serling. He was the guiding light behind the success of the original TZ.

Yeah i read somewhere that the new TZ stuff didn't have Rod Serlings feel to it.

Did he appear in a story on the TZ? Or did i imagine it

Watched the classic series as a kid,some of the episodes would give me the creeps.

I have not seen any of the new stuff,as i loved the feel of the classic series in black and white.

The Talky Tina project sounds cool but I'd be afraid to have that thing laying around my house.....

I've been working on a Twilight Zone display for my collection room. I did some research and started recreating a Talky Tina doll for my first project. I have the correct doll and stuff to make the dress. I still need to do her hair and get the workings that make her move her arms and legs. I also have parts to start a Mego scale Erich Streator/Talky Tina set. I plan to do a bunch of other characters in Mego scale, plus some additional props, like the masks from the episode with the same name, glasses from "Time Enough at Last," and the Mystic Seer from "Nick of Time."
Here's Tina so far:

A classic si-fi show.....and still going strong....50 years...I've been watching it since I was little

[toys2cool]

Is that the one with Andy Devine ?

I always thought Mars Attacks kind of ripped that off -- especially the idea music would hurt the Aliens ears.
