    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp The series-premiere was pretty good (especially the first story with its twist ending). :)

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp What did you all think of the episode, as well as how the new host (Forest Whitaker) compares to the original host (Rod Serling)?

    This first episode was really good. I definitely like the first story better than the second. That gated community/Cult was pretty creepy. It was kind of a Soilant(sp?) Green rip off, but still good. The second story was good as well although it was a little more predictable.

    I'm definitely going to watch the series again next week. The show has a lot of potential and could be really good. This one had a real similar feel to the old ones, so as long as they keep coming up with good story lines it should remain good. But my fear is that it will get old really fast, and become unwatchable. We'll just have to see I guess.

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp I also hope that this new show can sustain the feel of the old Twilight Zone. I remember that The New Twilight Zone (1985-87 on CBS; 1988-89 in syndication) started off pretty well, but began to lose steam near the end (with the exception of a few episodes).

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp It's also interesting to note that Ira Steven Behr is the executive producer of the current Twilight Zone - he was also the executive producer of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

    Did you ever watch the show Erie (sp?) Indiana? That was good too, while it lasted. Anyway, like I said I'm going to watch the next 2 episodes of the new Twilight Zone and if they're as good as the first I'm sure to get hooked. It could definitely become something I make a habit of watching.

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Yeah, I did watch Eerie, Indiana, as well as Twin Peaks and Nowhere Man (to name a few). Why is it that the most interesting, most creative shows have the shortest broadcast lives? :(

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp The first episode of this new Twilight Zone looked very promising. I can't wait for the next few episodes! :)
