Who else is here July 2024 ….wishing it was 1994 again. I want to live back then now. What time does the 1994 bus show up? I’ll be packed and waiting. Meet y’all at the bus stop. 😊

I think I like watching the commercials better than the video 🙃

[@flashgordon6670]

The adverts back then were better than today’s tv programs and the programs back then, were better than today’s films.

[@pixie3760]

Oh heaven, anything's better than today's t.v. to be honest I haven't watched television in about 4 years. I don't mind KZbin though.

[@sew_gal7340]

Films in those days were better than oscar winners today, and oscar winners of those days...well theres nothing today that can match. Try doing a marathon of oscar winning films from the 60s onwards...it is mind blowing!

Thanks! After getting my self and my 4 NON-VIOLENT kitties. through 4th of July holiday WEEK OF NON-STOP EXPLOSIONS 2024, we all needed something engaging to relax into and just rest and regroup and feel safe in front of for a few minutes. This fills the bill beautifully.😢

@@Kate-gt2wo I gave you both a Thumbs Up because I empathize with what you and your precious furbabies endured. My five canine furbabies were likewise bothered by neighbours' fireworks, one of whom remains traumatized. She is snuggled right up against me as we viewed this wonderful video.

A man after my own heart! Thanks so much for the appreciative comment! I'm glad you found your way here!

[@arthurscott4467]

Did you ever think that these were not lost classics, but stories that ROD SERLING did not feel that were up to his standards, Rod was very particular about what he put on TV. So be careful when you say that a story was lost, because it is neither lost nor a classic, just put on the shelf to be either rewritten, or discarded.

[@KevRipz]

I think it's just a catchy name for the special... I mean, I hear what you're saying and all but there's not really a mystery to solve, the backstory is available, you can see for yourself. Serlings widow Carol found 2 pieces in a family trunk, one was the outline to the 1st story and the other was the complete script to the 2nd story. The 1st story outline was actually expanded and scripted by Richard Matheson. Carol Serling co-produced this special with CBS.

[@jyesucevitz]

Hopefully you taught 'em lesson! how dare they use the word "lost" in a manner in which you neither approve of nor like.

[@arthurscott4467]

@jyesucevitz YOU were not even alive when Rod SERLING had his TV show, I was ,as a matter of fact I went to the same High School As Rod,it was known as BINGHAMTON CENTRAL back then, ROD was a student of the Miss Foley, she was an English teacher and was mentioned several times in Twilight Zone . Many times we passed in the hall and spoke. I watched these two episodes, they were not that great ,considering many others that ROD used. He was a prolific writer and there probably are many other so- called lost episodes. My advise to you is to put your guns away ,we are all friends here.

Was that really Serling's work or someone interpreting it 30 years later? The first one was way below standard and the second just made it. Jack's performance did a lot towards making it work. Rather a disappointment. Yes, watching the commercials was great.

[@sarahsilverlight2064]

Just discovered your channel. Love how you left the original ads in as well. Definitely prefer the retro shows, especially how we weren't subjected to tastelessness, profane language and vulgarity. We really didn't know how good we had it. Peeked at what else you offer on your channel, and like what I see. Newest sub! 😺

[@KevRipz]

Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you found your way here and that you dig the vibe of the channel :) You're right! From the programming to the commercials and everything in between, the golden age of television is definitely behind us... Gotta save what we can while the tapes still work!

Are those weird ads part of the show? Some of them are real products but the ads seem so fake, like send-ups.

No idea what you're talking about... this is an untouched 2 hour recording as far as things being added or removed, it's all real including the ads.

[@Nina-rj4nu]

@@KevRipz Yeah, as I watched further, I could see they were real ads. At first, they looked like those ads you see in movies like "Scrooged". They do have a strange aesthetic though. Thanks for replying. Very kind of you. 😊😊

[@KevRipz]

Hehehe roger that! Original commercials are very special in my opinion. I always appreciate when ads match the content they're played alongside, when you can spot the intentional programming that went into the ad placement for TV, especially premieres. I'm sure they tried to use as many ads as they could that fit the twilight zone vibe. It was probably sold that way to the advertisers, "Upcoming Twilight Zone special, please submit ads you'd like to run during".

[@TOTALLYWACKEDTV]

That's just how ads were back then

They are real. That's how ads were back then. None of them are 'part of the show'.
