- Best episodes of the seriesSusan Gordon got sick on the set of "The Fugitive" and they had to film the remaining footage for this episode, the opening ballpark scenes, a week later under a separate production number and with a diffrent (uncredited) director. "To Serve Man" was filmed twice and then the best footage from both films blended together to fit the episode we see now. That is why the flashback scenes and tons of stock footage ripped off from three separate films. "Third From the Sun" is one of the most creative films ... Read More

- A little hot sauce goes a long way. This is a beautiful compilation. This is back when rod stirling was in charge, i.e. the best time. This is the top of the top when it comes to science fiction, and proud to own it.

- Twilight Zone Vol. 8Rod Serling was amazing! I can't think of a Twilight Zone that wasn't worth watching.

- Four superb episodes! Terrific stuff!Twilight Zone is one of those productions that is quite literally timeless. Although there were numerous not-so-good episodes in the series, Volume 8 contains four pretty good episodes, including my favorite, the superb "Third from the Sun."
"Third from the Sun" is a mindblower, even if it is somewhat dated by its notion that there are other planets within the solar system that can support intelligent life. This is excellent science fiction (no spoilers here) and this episode is guaranteed to make ... Read More

- Great DVDThird From the Sun- I really wanted to like this episode... but my dad just had to blab the ending! Oh well it was good. (****)
The Shelter- I liked it, but it kind of reminded me of Monsters are Due on Maple Street. (***)
To Serve Man- Wow, a great episode. The end really freaked me out. Probably my favorite episode. There are only a few episodes I'll give five stars, the others being "Time Enough at Last" and "Walking Distance" (I've only watched so far to this volume.) (*****)
