Which is your favorite anthology series?

Bugg · 02-07-2021, 06:25 AM

Probably belongs in the polls section of the TV forum.

That said. Twilight Zone.

Twilight Zone all the way.

I will always be a original Twilight Zone fan. Charles Beaumont, Rod Serling and Richard Matheson were some of the best creative writers of that time. But after viewing the whole Alfred Hitchcock Presents 1-7, I have to say AHP is right up there in the tops with me. I guess I can't choose now. I will have to say if I want a real life, murderous drama with a twist, AHP will not disappoint. But if I want to stretch the imagination and go into another dimension, TZ will always be the best. Fifties and Sixties were the best for television.

Twilight Zone episodes could be movies, the writing is just that good.

Zone, no comparison.

Alfred Hitchcock Presents often had good shows, some great.
The Twilight Zone was, at its best, the greatest TV show of all time.

jl1rp · 02-27-2022, 09:16 PM

It's the Zone for me.

Moviefan2k4 · 03-04-2022, 09:43 PM

I only watched the Hitchcock show rarely as a kid, but I've long been fascinated with The Twilight Zone, even though I've only watched a handful of episodes.

edmonddantes · 03-04-2022, 11:00 PM

the twilight zone at its best its untouchable in its genre, but Id like to make a case for AHP:

1/ while the best episodes of the twilight zone are better than anything AHP provided, Id argue the average level of the AHP episodes is a bit higher than TTZ. There are really a lot of mediocre episodes in the 2-5 seasons of TTZ

2/ nobody disputes the massive influence TTZ had, but AHP was first and earlier and thats a point that rarely gets mentioned.

3/ humor: TTZ had little or too much of it in certain episodes, while AHP had the perfect amount

4/ hitch's introductions presenting the episodes are even better than rod serling's

5/ AHP is a lighter watch, you could watch it at any moment of the day when you have a moment to kill. TTZ requires a bit more of a "perfect" setting to really enjoy it

I mean personally I think TTZ is the better series but I also like AHP and I think it deserves a reappraisal and hopefully a BD edition
