Thanks for the welcome ! Fingers crossed season 1 blu ray comes out in April.

Im really getting worried that season 1 blu ray will be delayed for a while. 1 month to go, no cover art at amazon UK yet. No preorder still at HMV, or Play. They usually get preorders just 2 days after amazon. Amazon has this for preorder for a long while now. Im going to be very mad if they change the date a couple days before release date. Ive seen this happen many times.

DATE CHANGE!

Sorry folks - the vol 1 DVD and Blu-ray release of Twilight Zone has had to be moved back to 2nd May to accommodate BBFC certifications for the discs. No further delays are anticipated for this release. I've updated the original announcement at the beginning of this thread.

What was I saying all along ? Hopefully this will be the 1 and only delay.

You must be from the fifth dimension! ;)

It should be the only delay for this release - it simply was a case of BBFC certification for each disc caused a delay so it's a little later than planned.

Im counting on you to be right. This is my most anticipated blu release since the star trek original series. Cant wait to watch some episodes in blu quality. Such as after hours, monsters are due on maple street, time enough at last , 16mm shrine, stop at willougby are my favorites.:)

[QUOTE=Almar@Cult Labs;137864]You must be from the fifth dimension! ;) Where did you get the delay info ?

[QUOTE=tony;137871]Got the info from Shock - this is all set up here so we can relay this info to you - it's a release they're taking very seriously and we at CL love the show so doing a mini forum where we can pay it some respect and hopefully get people talking about the show is the thinking here. So anything like date changes etc will come through here.

I don't think you're going to be disappointed - am hoping you'll want to drop some thoughts in as well on the threads we've dedicated to each episode of season 1 as you watch them.

Thanks, I will definitely post thoughts when it comes out on each episode. You said shock is handling this blu ray, yet on amazon uk it says Freemantle ?

Yup - Shock own the UK and Aussie rights but often labels need distributors to put their product out, sell it in to stores, physically distribute it and so on and that's why you'll see it listed as Fremantle as they're handling getting this treasure into your hands. And treasure it is! But of course in the fifth dimension, treasure can come with strange consequences...

Sorry - been watching too much TZ!;)

Thanks for that explanation. Its nice to find someone as passionate about the series as me. I will scream my head off if theres 1 more delay. I guess its safe to assume this will have the same transfers as the USA region locked discs? Ive seen pics online of how the picture quality on that set is, wow!:dance:

It's a real pleasure that we can be talking about these titles on here - to that end I'm expecting this place to remain a bit quiet until the DVDs/Bds come out but please do help spread the word and let's revive and maybe even create some TZ fans!

When you get the set you'll notice there's a CBS DVD logo on them (CBS really had one of the all-time great logos - I love it when their vintage versions make it onto the episodes of TZ) as it is exactly the same masters so you can safely remain excited!

I was absolutely flawed by the quality. It's amazing that something 50 years old can look so good.

I can confirm that you have all created a TZ fan....me. I knew nothing about the show until these threads started up. Job well done

Need something Twilight Zone related to keep me busy. I heard that there is a fairly new book called dimensions behind the twilight zone. Is it a good buy, anyone own it ?

Hi, yes it's a good book. The majority of it is nice long interviews with surviving Twilight Zone stars and creators. Then there are a few essays on Zone too.

Not a huge book, but decent enough value for money, and different enough from the other TZ books out there to make it worth a purchase even if you already own some.

Thanks, since I have none of the other books, I will buy this first from amazon.

Enjoy! I run down some of the Twilight Zone books I have here in this thread:

Thanks, That will be helpful for which one I get next.:)

Looks like play.com now has a listing for the twilight zone blu ray. It has the date that was mentioned here May 2nd. Amazon uk is being lazy still showing April 18.

Just preordered the Season One BD from Zavvi today. Along with a 10% off code they sent me I got it for £31.37. Well chuffed!

Wow !!! Thats better than amazon uk"s price. Does Zavvi ship to all of Europe?

That's a fantastic price for some lovely Twilight Zone blu-ray goodness. It's going to be a great set.

Definately. Especially when you see what the US had to pay (and still do) for the BD sets. It seems we're getting the better deal this side of the pond!

I see what you mean. Some places are charging quite a bit more for the US sets. Thank god these are being released over here.

Just ordered the Blu-ray of season One.
It's been about twenty years since I last watched an episode of the Twilight Zone, so It'll almost be like coming to them anew!

It ceratinly will, especially with the rave reviews the sets have been getting for their visual quality. I can't wait the see them in HD.

Thanks so much! Not long now.

I recently got my preview Blu-Ray to review - only to find its the DVD version!

Still haven't seen how good the episodes look yet...

You mean to say it says blu ray on the packaging, and its dvds inside?

Oh no not like that. When you get preview copies you just get the discs in little paper sleeves. Only I didn't get the Blu-Ray :(

No I suspect this will be the review discs.

^Exactly.

Don't let me one experience tarnish the good work these peeps are doing ;)

I understand now. But were you told that you were going to receive the blu rays to review? Because if they just said we are sending you the twilight zone set for review, they might have meant just the dvds.

That's what my editor is looking into.

Found a great review for the upcoming blu ray. It seems to have everything the US edition had. Now if only they could ship my copy a few days early, lol !!! Weekend Watch: The Twilight Zone: Season One (Blu-ray) | Home Cinema Choice: AV, surround sound and TV reviews

Good review! I'm really excited about this release. A black and White Burgess Meredith in HD. I don't know about anyone else but I love gold ol' Black and White in HD.

HMV shipped mine last Saturday...damn you bank holidays!;) Hopefully those blu rays will drop through my letterbox soon!:dance:

I'm gonna pick mine up on Monday (I hope) from HMV. I've got some vouchers that need using so.....

Really can't wait. I'm an anthology addict - Crypt, Darkside, Thriller, Masters Of Horror etc.

Nothing ever comes close to TZ though. Serling I think is the main draw. His input and overwhelming intelligence is unparalleled.
