Is OG Twilight Zone worth watching for someone that has never even seen a single episode but generally likes creepy stuff? Has it aged well basically.

He LivesI will definitely check out some episodes. Any particular episodes to check out first?
Oh yeah, cuz Get Out had none of that /sI hate to be a cynic but I have a bad feeling about this. There was an off-putting creepiness and brilliance to the original stories that's going to be really hard to recapture.
ugh. CBS is very takedown happy.
does this twitter one work (I'm mean besides Twitter's garbage video player being garbage)
It's definitely episodic, they just mixed the episodes up in the trailerYes. I feel they do marathons of it yearly. During the holiday season.
They should really do a Twitch marathon.
This does not look episodic at all, though. It seems more serial in nature, like most modern TV shows now.
Not announced yet. Will probably vary on a per-episode basis, I think most CBS AA shows have been 45-ish min long.
It's supposed to be proper anthology with stand-alone episodes.
The second link didn't work for you?
That's a solid guess. Should be an interesting episode for sure.If I didn't know better I'd say those shots with the kid are from a reimagined version of "It's A Good Life" with the kid making himself president.
Haven't seen Fringe, but I would say no on the other two. Stand-alone episodes that just explore strange or creepy ideas/situations.Never watched the originals but I'm interested.
I absolutely loved LOST, Stranger Things and Fringe - is this anything like those or am I reading the situation wrong? :P

That kid in the White House? Where could they have possibly gotten that idea from?
As someone else pointed out, it's nothing like any of those. Those shows all have sci-fi elements to them (especially Fringe) but Twilight Zone is more like, every episode is it's own self-contained story that focuses on just one particular sci-fi-esque idea. Sometimes they're funny, sometimes they're sad, scary, dramatic, etc. It's a really awesome series and because it's episodic it can cover all kinds of interesting ideas and themes and genres.Never watched the originals but I'm interested.

Soon as I saw the shots of the tricycle, I figured they were leaning a little too hard into imagery from The Shining, but then I saw the flags attached to it and waitaminute...That's a solid guess. Should be an interesting episode for sure.

The main difference to something recent like Black Mirror, is not every Twilight Zone episode leaves you feeling miserable about humanity and life. I feel like a lot of modern sci-fi is hyper focused on dark depressing themes but there are some pretty fun Twilight Zone episodes from what I can remember.
And yeah, TZ has a much wider scope than largely any other similar show. The only connecting element is the presence of a twist or message. Beyond that, the show isn't locked into any single genre or tone. I would even argue that a weird element isn't even required, not when a classic episode like Time Enough at Last has no weird/sci-fi/supernatural aspects at allTwilight Zone is genre agnostic. Horror, sci-fi, mystery, comedy, supernatural, drama, etc. That's one of its biggest strengths compared to like Black Mirror

Interesting - wonder if that has anything to do with the original gremlin washing ashore?Speculation:
Adam Scott's episode revolves around a recurring set of numbers in his day.
The ticket says 10:15 and he says to the air attendant "it's all the same number, what are the chances?". He's probably on Flight 1015. Maybe his audio device has a creepy voice that tells him the plane will crash at 10:15. That's why he throws his ipod at the camera. He wakes up after the crash. The episode will open with him waking up as we see him in the trailer. The bulk of the episode will take place on the plane with the events leading up to 10:15.
Theres..... a lot.How many episodes of the original are there? I've wanted to watch it for very long time already.
Hah, gotcha. Thanks :)Theres..... a lot.
I'd really recommend looking up the top 20 episodes lists and go from there.
It's a reimagining called "Nightmare at 30000 Feet" and it's gonna be stellar
