Just noticed there's a channel called 'Decades' on my cable package that is running a TZ Marathon
The marathon continues!
I always wondered if channels can get sued over stuff like this
i.e. - this was SyFy's idea
And like Shark Week on Discovery - NatGeo now runs a Sharkfest for like 5 weeks straight - even during Shark Week
Guess there's no verbiage in the contract between the networks and the owner of the rights to these TV shows that they can only be played on a channel at a certain time for a certain amount of time
Seems a little dirty - but I guess if they're popular why not - just copy off another network

I now realize there are many episodes I never saw, or don’t remember seeing. The encounter was very good, and I didn’t even realize it was George Takei, until I saw the credits. Lol

Sometimes crucial scenes, where Decades plays them all the way through.

'Living Doll' i.e. - Talking Tina was just on a couple of hours ago love that one
Like a lot of anthology series - Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Tales From the Crypt, Tales From the Darkside, etc - there's a lot of bombs mixed in with the good ones

I noticed on Decades we get the full credits until the very end too.....

Watched “The Encounter” yesterday. I now realize there are many episodes I never saw, or don’t remember seeing. The encounter was very good, and I didn’t even realize it was George Takei, until I saw Thcredits. The Encounter went from being controversial to one of the most prescient episodes from the series. The theme would fit into a modern streaming series, but I doubt whether anyone would have the stones to produce it.

Looks like the 'Decades' Channel's marathon ends tomorrow
On now - Static
'Ed Lindsay has an old radio which only picks up old radio shows'
Sounds like a Dud - don't recall ever seeing it. I tend to skip these bombs after 10 minutes or so
Wonder what the total is of TZs being about astronauts landing on another planet and being lost - it's got to be at least 10

That one was awful. I always forget about this. A lot of them are (like all the iconic horror/sci-fi anthology series)
But there's some brilliant ones and gems out there like the one that just started -
'The Little People' (3/30/62) - 'A space traveler finds an Earth like civilization the size of ants.'

Marathon is on SyFy also
The Obsolete Man. Everytime I hear the word "obsolete" I chant it like the little Nazi-esque followers of Fritz Weaver.

The Midnight Sun now. Great twist, makes you realize how abundantly screwed we'd be if something like this ever happens.
