My husband was watching some this afternoon in between football games.
I saw the one with Ellie May Clampett . . . Donna Douglas and the pig people at the mental hospital . . .
and then next one on with William Shatner!
I’m watching; been at it all day!!! I’ve seen several that I haven’t seen yet which is great.
it’s on hiatus right now due to WWE.
I like the one where the guy is in the library and doesn’t know the world has ended. He comes out to the ruins and breaks his glasses.
It's your reception...mine looks fine.
No, they didn't have tape back then. They used Kinescope, which was sort of a like tape, but more like film and so different from each. They would use and reused the Kine, so some things look fine, whilst other things look strange.
There are couple of TZs that look really strange, KICK THE CAN is one, but I don't remeber what the other one is.
I love those marathons. When Bubble Guppies is over maybe I’ll get to choose a channel.
Good looking gal.
And as video goes — very clear.
Betcha it has been digitally remastered and cleaned up.
How to Serve Man.
They did 6 episodes in videotape instead of film as a way to save money during the second season of Twilight Zone. It did look weird as hell.
On twice a year or so. Mrs p6 and I watch as much as we can!
Yeah the Donna Douglas one is a fav.
Mrs p6 never saw the Krushchev one.
She had no idea who he was!!!!
I robbed the cradle!
Darn! Darn! I wish I could get scify. I just have to wait for next year marathon. Hope I get a job by then to afford that channel. At least I have AMC.
Always liked the Willoughby episode.
Not every episode is a winner. Seems like every time I run into the marathon, I encounter that irritatingly dopey “Mr. Dingle, the Strong” episode. But of course, back then, network series were required to grind out 39 episodes a season, so there would always be a few seriously lame ones, even if the best of series. So I’m fairly forgiving.
Another series of the day, “Thriller,” hosted by Boris Karloff, had a whole slew of extremely bland episodes... but there are about ten extremely good and intensely spooky episodes that everyone remembers.
The process was called Kinescope. Basically everything was captured by a video camera and displayed on a CRT monitor. A film camera that was correctly synched to the video frame rate was then used to record the monitor display. This is why it looks so much like it was recorded on videotape without actually being videotape.
Another factor is that the video cameras at the time had different sensitivies to light in general and to specific colors as compared to film cameras, so this adds to their appearance being odd.
If it’s a camera that takes photos a few minutes in the future, that is a great one.
Love it.
It was shot on film
I know that episode and like it a lot. You are too jaded to jim-crack gimmicks. Twilight Zone relied on your involvement in the story line....and then there was the twist at the end
Film.
No doubt about it.
