I watched a bit last night. I caught Agnes Moorehead in "The Invaders." I always have to stop and marvel at her work in that one.
Phyllis---I own the "definitive" full series as well, and spent about six months, off and on, watching it until I'd seen every single one. I'd seen many of them from my college days, when I first was introduced to the show on late-night reruns. But there were quite a few (more than I expected, especially the hour-long ones) that I'd never seen before.
I said it back in college, and feel the same today... this is my all-time favorite TV series. It took many imaginative risks with story-telling. I think it's the zenith of creativity in the medium.
I was extremely fortunate to attend a symposium on the series about 10 or 11 years ago at the DGA here in Hollywood. It was fantastic, with several of the writers, actors, directors and producers that had worked on it all gathered together for a discussion and Q&A. (Billy Mumy, Martin Landau, Cliff Robertson, Earl Holliman, Richard Donner, Buck Houghton, Earl Hamner Jr., Richard Matheson, George Clayton Johnson, Mrs. Rod Serling, etc.) There is a small "chunk" of that inspriring night included on the final Bonus disc on the last season of the "definitive" DVD set.
