The
Twilight Zone (1959-64; 156 episodes) is still the classiest sci-fi series to air
on television. And it suits its audience perfectly: just like a channel surfer who hits
upon a baffling TV program, the typical Twilight Zone protagonist suddenly finds
himself in a totally unfathomable situation. ("Hey, wait a minute. Isn't that me
over there, about to get hit by that bus?") Watch enough of these stories alone and
you'll develop an untreatable case of agoraphobia. Most video stores carry a batch of the
most memorable half-hour episodes, packaged into pairs. William Shatner gives the
performance of his career in "Terror at 20,000 Feet," the quintessential
"But you've got to believe me, I'm not crazy!" story about a monster on the wing
of an airplane. In "The Invaders," Agnes Moorhead is a simple farm woman
attacked by rodent-sized aliens; and in "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street,"
the menace turns out to be a mob of frightened neighbors. Capsule Reviews
