Absolutely perfect. Just PERFECT. Rod Serling was THE Master Of Suspense. The show has a hypnotic affect. And the writing is SPECTACULAR! And the acting, directing, and the suspense affect makes you wonder how it is going to end.

TZ deserves a special place in the pantheon of Best TV shows of all time. Serling was a brilliant ,wise, moral ARTIST of the first kind. The system tried to crop him back but he persevered. We owe him a great deal of Thanks for his courage, ethics and integrity. SERLING LIVES!

This show is absolute genius. This show is so good, I wish i was born 70 years later so I could watch it new instead of reruns on SYFY. A perfect show, no doubt about it. Rod Serling is a 1960's William Shakespeare.

Great show, but a bit slow at times. This is expected for pure genius blasting out of the sixties, however. This show is brilliant in every way, shape and form. A must watch. Bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla.

One of best classic TV series of ever. Rod Serling and Richard Matheson develop mastely episodes mixing elements of suspense, horror and- rarely- humor. The episodes that deserve the most attention are Time enough at last, The hitch-hiker, The monsters due on Maple St. and After Hours.

An eerie classic still to this day and age, always finding new bizarre and creepy ways to get into the minds of the viewer. This is one show that has aged tremendously well.
