I was never a fan of the 1hr episodes. I always felt the same as when American TV shows like the A-Team used to do 2 parters. They felt overly long and just including stuff that could easily be cut and run at the normal length.
However I have this series on blu-ray and DVD and would have to say Hes Alive is one of the top Twilight Zone episodes in all the 5 series.
Dennis Hopper is brilliant in it and the story, a mysterious figure helps a small faction of failing neo nazis become more popular in 1960's America, is something you would never think any TV show would ever venture down.
Its definitely worth watching first when you buy the blu-ray in my opinion.
