This is on TCM tonight (and again on the 22nd). It hasn't been on tv since it aired almost 50 years ago. I'm a huge Rod Serling fan so I'm really excited to see this. Set your dvrs if you're so inclined!

Can't wait to see it.

Umm ...

... struggling through this now. It's so heavy-handed. Preachy doesn't even begin to describe it. Good lord.

It was absolutely unbearable and unwatchable. Regardless of which political side you are on, this did not have any entertainment or educational value at all. Simply dreadful!

Perhaps there is a reason it hasn't been seen in 50 years.

I'd always been curious to see this, as a big Twilight Zone fan (and an even bigger fan of Night Gallery--at least the first season), and ummm. Wow. I'm glad I saw it, but calling it heavy handed (which any Serling fan knows he can fall into) is an understatement. I knew the history, that it was done with the United Nations, etc, so expected some of that, but...

Just finished watching. To call it ponderous would be heaping praise upon it. I, gladly, hit the delete button on my TiVo.
