Twilight Zone Marathoning Again 2020 - Schedule for Fun (updated)

So just for fun, since I've been very lazy on the first of January, just in bed watching the Twilight Zone marathon on SYFY and following fellow "Zoners" on Twitter, I'll color in red those I have seen (all of) during the marathon so far. Some episodes I obviously won't be able to see but others I have recorded on DVR for the coming days. NO official write-ups because unless I see them in full, I just don't feel I am doing great episodes justice (The Passersby or The Lonely are cut in ways by SYFY that are damn near sinful for Woodchuck and Pinocchio Geico commercials and trailers for The Magicians). If marathons do anything they tickle my interest in revisiting episodes I might not think about much or upon re-evaluation feel they deserve a better rep perhaps.

The poles of fear, the extremes of how the Earth might conceivably be doomed. Minor exercise in the care and feeding of a nightmare, respectfully submitted by all the thermometer-watchers - in The Twilight Zone.

Granted I haven't watched nearly a lot, I have plenty I might spread across the days. I had a fun time with Night Gallery over the last decade, so why not? I get that many might question why such a big deal in the marathons but their place in the history of many fans' lives, they are special. Maybe not how SYFY treats these great episodes, or even how they schedule them or anymore, but the event energy it gives fans from all over, following folks on Twitter doing the same, it is just a pleasure. Young and old watching TZ, in and out, off and on. I will try to leave a rating in my next post and continue leaving behind what I have and haven't watched.
