>"The Lateness of the Hour" was one of six Twilight Zone episodes shot on videotape instead of film in an attempt to cut costs. By November 1960, The Twilight Zone's season-two had already broadcast five episodes and finished filming sixteen. However, at a cost of about $65,000 per episode, the show was exceeding its budget. As a result, six consecutive episodes were videotaped at CBS Television City and eventually transferred to 16-millimeter film ["kinescoped"] for syndicated rebroadcasts. Total savings on editing and cinematography amounted to around $30,000 for all six entries, not enough to justify the loss of depth of visual perspective, which made the shows look like stage-bound live TV dramas (e.g. Playhouse 90, also produced at CBS). The experiment was deemed a failure and never attempted again

>>64320718
I Shot an Arrow Into the Air comes to mind first.
>>64320708
>tfw you will never have a life altering experience on the outskirts of the twilght zone that forces you to fix your shit
>>64320761
That was the first episode I ever watched, we watched it in High School near the end of the year with nothing else better to do.
>>64320869
It was also the one I watched first, I think that's why it stuck with me. I was also watching a lot of Star Trek TOS at the time.

I don't know, mate. I don't have cable TV. I assume Syfy is a cable channel.
Rod Serling had a major boner for hanging
cute little cunny
>>64318136
Are you guys all on East Coast? Howling Man just finished here on PST
>>64322789
Once I realized we were gonna go East Coast I switched to watching it on Hulu. East Coast would be on Dust right now.
>magic dust
Serling must of been high this episode.
Its all on Netflix and therefor irrelevant. TV is a fucking awful format and based Netflix will save us from the cable jew.
>>64322892
But Netflix (and Hulu) doesn't give you the satisfaction of enjoying it globally with your /tv/ bros.
>>64322933
Free Hulu has plenty of commercials to keep you synced up with the TV showings
Is Rod Serling the ultimate alpha male?
I don't think I've seen this episode. Is it any good?
>>64323142
It's really good. Makes you think about "what if". And such.
>>64323142
I'm pretty sure this dude's gonna fuck his grandma, it's gonna be sweet.

Why the fuck is this allowed?
>>64323829
They keep throwing it from channel to channel don't they
>>64323829
Let's start a Twilight Zone thread on /asp/ at 8.
>>64324021
Just between the NBC owned channels. But yeah, they have moved it around a lot.
>>64324063
Good idea. They will be so butthurt.

Even WWE fans don't watch Smackdown. Fuck Smackdown.

You should be watching the Simpsons Marathon while mangrab is on
>>64326312
I tried to but Smithers was black. And the voices are all wrong, and the art is bad.
>>64326445
Admittedly, the first Simpsons season is pretty slow.
This is so fucking shit.
How long until SmackDown ends? I want to continue watching The Twilight Zone.
>>64327208
45 minutes, way to kill the marathon
CAN YOU SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOOOOOKKKIIINNNGGG
>>64327289
It literally caused this thread and marathon to die.
Fuck WWF.

FXX

Seriously what the fuck is the point of having a shitty TV show interrupt The Twilight Zone marathon?
What episode is on at 10?
Thank fuck it's finally over. Time to get back to Twilight Zone.
>>64328535

The Invaders is coming on right now.

>>64318136
I used to watch these marathons all the time.
Glad to hear Scifi still does them. They changed a lot to that channel. Last time I was in America, it was just shit and they had some cosplayers show they were constantly talking about.
But Twilight Zone marathon? Good memories there.
>>64328802
I'm fucking retarded, supposed to reply to:
>>64328694
>>64328847
It's an illusion, she is actually the alien and is being watched by other people.
>>64328852
>its not even SciFi anymore, but SyFy
I dont like any of their original programming anymore, its pretty bad.
I mean Face Off is ok if there is NOTHING on TV and you have a soft spot for reality gameshows.
>>64328852
SyFy is weird man, so much original programming that literally no one cares about.
Why not kick the little robot?
>>64329064
It's like the 1900s something, she doesn't know what the fuck it is. She is too afraid to touch it.
>commercials
Why bother ugh
they spoke English the whole time?
oh
>>64329424
maybe on the intercom between themselves
What the fuck is up with the frame rate?
I love how SyFy has ads begging people to watch 12 monkeys
>>64318136
TZ marathons bring me way back,
My dad used to watch every TZ marathon on Sci-Fi every year, since the late 90s
So cozy, couting down the new year with Twilight Zone in the background.
Same with 4th of July, Labor Day weekend(?) and a few other marathon weekends in the year..
>>64329496
I noticed the same thing. I thought it was just the later seasons that have the soap opera effect.
>not watching the newer Twilight Zone series on El Rey
Hearing people's thoughts would be a lot louder and jumbled than this.
>>64329768
Fuck off Rodriguez
>>64329768
Their Godzilla marathon was good.
>Siam
>>64329927
Bwahaha, I actually watched the Godzilla one at my parents house. Was pretty good.
I dont get El Rey
Blackmail is bad
>>64330052
It's nice because they don't censor their movies and sometimes show Chinese movies with subtitles instead of dubs.
The Soap Opera Effect is real in this one
Why is the quality so poor in this one?
>not watching Lord of the Rings marathon on TNT
>>64330449
>>64330334
Its weird, because they are showing episodes in order. Its like they are using a different camera than the episode filmed before it.
>SyFy
N-no thanks
Any more with Shatner?
>>64331079
...yea only the most famous ep of the whole series
>>64331523
When tho?
>>64331636
Saturday at 7pm
>And... CUT!
Do do do do, do do do do
>>64318136
I liked the one where the laughingstock alcoholic don't want no trouble and gets more powerful when he drinks.
A Game of Pool is top ten without question.
feh, they started the ones where they cheaped out and didn't use film, looks like a play
>>64332771
What do you mean didn't use film? Like they used VHS?
>>64333067
In a push to keep the show's expenses down, Aubrey ordered that seven fewer episodes be produced than last season and that six of those being produced would be shot on videotape rather than film, a move Serling disliked
Wow. These eps look amazing in hd on a big screen.
They remastered them all from the original film? It was shot on film?
>>64330048
>Idlewild
>>64332771
Ah. Damn. Wish I had caught the earlier ones.
Though I don't mind it for more intimate settings. The 'stage play' look you get from video works for some things.
>>64320708
>>64320837
The episodes with the happy endings are the best.

You know why the remakes of TZ fail? It's because they keep trying to update it to the modern era. IMHO the best way to do redo the show would be to do it as a retro black and white anthology. What do I mean by "retro"? Make it look and feel as though it were made circa 1959. Alien's use flying saucers. Human use rocket ships. You get the idea? Focus on the fear of the unknown and the human condition. The problem with the Twilight Zone movie was that they went for flash rather than drama. I can't believe no one has used this idea for a new weekly TZ TV series. With CGI being what it is today, you could do virtually anything on a TV budget, especially if it were done in black and white and kept simple!!!FACT!!!
how did the kid go on to invent cures from his blood or what not if the cure was given to him from the future?!

GO WATCH GLEE THEN YOU COCKSUCKING FAGGOT!!!FACT!!!
>>64332746
And its writer, George Clayton Johnson, died on Christmas Day last week. He also wrote Nothing in the Dark, my second favorite episode of TZ!!!FACT!!!
>>64335249
He was talking about the wrestling that was on earlier. FACT!!!
>>64318170
Not Season 4 for some reason.
>>64335346
My apologies then!!!FACT!!!
Do do do do, do do do do. FACT!!!
Can't go to sleep now cause I'll have nightmares since watching TZ all day
>>64335212
I agree that TZ remakes don't work for a lot of reasons but if they tried to make it all look like the 50s then they might as well just show reruns of the original. There's no point in trying if they aren't going to try to update the material in some way.
For one thing, the original series had a stellar team of creative and inventive writers. The original had Serling, Matheson, Beaumont, Houghton, etc. and on that level it just won't be replicated. It had a plethora of legendary actors and actresses going for it. It had an amazing soundtrack/score. The black and white aspect added so much to the atmosphere, which is another important point. The original series had such a comfy feeling to it, even in its scariest darkest episodes, and it's difficult to overstate how important that is.
One last thing that reboots always get wrong: they try to make the show too spooky. Most of the original series wasn't horror themed campfire stories. They were mostly fantasy and mystery based. I think that makes the series go a lot further.

Oh, wow, I didn't know that. That's a bummer.
>>64335212
Sort of like episodes of Mad Men, set in the past with attention paid to details, and a decent story told every episode? I'd watch that. Nobody else would, and it'd be replaced with a cheap reality show about drunk rednecks fucking each other and getting into fistfights, but I'd watch the half season they managed to put out and probably enjoy it.
>>64335324
What's your favorite?
I would love to see a Dark Shadows marathon.
SciFi used to show it every morning when I was in grade school, I would watch it with my dad eating breakfast before I went to school. Would be pretty great
>>64336167
if they did it like the Twilight Zone marathon right now it would NEVER end
Beachcroft is such a cuck.
