Kicking off July 4th Twilight Zone Marathon ("Mr Bevis"/"The After Hours"/"The Mighty Casey")
Today, on the 3rd, I noticed Pluto TV is running the first two seasons of Twilight Zone on Classic TV Drama. I just thought that was cool that another channel is showing Twilight Zone besides Decades, a channel I would need to get an antenna system or streaming that carries it. I still might end up trying out Decades somehow, just for an alternative to SYFY, whose editing is terrible. I have a fuck-ton of episodes from SYFY 4:00 in the morning saved on the DVR so I will be going to those when I'm not interested in episodes on Pluto TV. I revisited the silly episode, "Mr. Bevis", which seems to have its devotees and "The After Hours". "The After Hours", I sort of regret watching at 7:00 PM, since the last time I watched it at 11:00 at night, the effectiveness was off-the-charts. Now "The Mighty Casey" is on. Jack Warden, for me, is a lot of fun in the episode, but this is more of a baseball historian's jam that something I necessarily care about. I just don't see how one robot (or as Warden spells it, R-O-B-B-O-T-T) pitcher can turn a bad baseball team's season around. The pitcher can't go on a hitting streak or throw no-hitters for other pitchers in the lineup. But Hoboken having a baseball team, much less a Jack Warden led one, is amusing to me. As far as "The After Hours" goes, I just enjoyed how Millhollin's making everyone nervous, always pressing on the staff while annoying the hell out of his boss. And he doesn't have a nice thing to say about anybody. God, have I been around my share of those in the workplace! "Mr. Bevis" just has an adorable Orson Bean, but he's a mess who will probably always be unreliable, in debt, and having to scrape by.
