During one of SCIFI's holiday marathons, we introduced our 16-year old son to the Twilight Zone. He LOVED them! We TIVO'd the best of the best.
It was sheer bliss to watch his face at the end of "To Serve Man." He nearly fell off the sofa!
These are classics. I wish the schools would show them as examples of good SF tales without the flash of modern FX.

Sadly I've noticed that trend too: that the stories get worse as the effects get better... maybe that's why in print SF still does well, the effects are only limited by the imagination of the reader.
