I love that Jaws (and its inferior sequels; although, I really think the second film gets a raw deal due to its having to follow such an absolute summer classic) are always on during this time of year. However, I never seem to get around to watching all of the film. It seems I'm always doing something, and I come in at various points. But I always watch a scene here or a scene there.

I would like to re-evaluate the third and fourth parts (although, the stench of the fourth film still stinks in my nostrils many years later after I rented it on VHS back in the mid 90s) sometime this year if I get the chance. Saying that, the first film just has a way of charming me no matter when I turn it on or pass by it while channel surfing. It is to summer what Halloween (1978) is to October.

McDowell and Comi prepare to leave for Mars. Aliens visiting the UN, dropping off their cook book, providing goodies for humans on Earth, easing them into trusting them, spiriting them away to be food for them on their home planet. To Serve Man is nearly 60 years ago. I've been watching Twilight Zone since I was a teenager in the mid 90s thanks to Sci Fi Channel. Many of my family have passed since (for instance, my mother's siblings are all about gone except one last sister), and it wouldn't be right to avoid a marathon during the 4th if just for nostalgic reasons. Syfy didn't see the value of TZ on Independence Day, except last year, so even though I cannot watch episodes like I do during New Year's Eve and Day, it is nice to try and sneak in a block of episodes whenever possible. I started with Death Ship from the fourth season, continuing with Stopover in a Quiet Town and The Gift . To Serve Man would feel like a later afternoon watch but SYFY showed it at 3:...
