It's good to see all the love for The Twilight Zone, a favorite of mine when I was growing up and the show was new. I watch it fairly regularly on MeTV now, and am glad to see that they're continuing to air it, as it's one of the last black and white series to still be broadcast regularly on digital channels, which all seem to be lowering the boom on everything black and white, but I digress.
One of the many things that keeps me watching, which is by no means all about nostalgia, is how good it looks. The production values were superb, and excellent use was made of the MGM back lot. The noir look was just right for the TZ, and while they could drop or alter it for a rural or western episode the show always plays well, to my eyes. It's seldom ugly or difficult to look at even when the setting is skid row. Something about it draws me in if only visually.
