    I am unfamiliar with that Nanoose. Was it a Canadian Show and only seen in your country? We don't get HBO or any of those other premium cable channels and that's often where as lot of great shows are shown. Thank you for your reply. Was it about physics or dwarves?

  • I agree Stu. No one could use irony in revealing the human condition better than Mr Serling. So many of his little "morality plays" were just people caught in the act of being people.

    TWILIGHT ZONE.  They used to have Twilight Zone marathons on 4th of July. I don't know if they still do. Any particular tale of his stand out? Of course he also had guest scifi authors who wrote for the show as well. Thank you for your reply SSB and Happy Sunday to thee. STAY SAFE.

    The entire series is available on Hulu. Three that stand out to me are Deaths Head Revisited, Twenty Yards over the Rim, and Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?

    They brought the series back in the early 90s. The stories are excellent. I hope they replay them sometime.

    Sometimes I can find a couple on the TVLAND channel. We loved it during the first run but they stand up so well so many decades later. That is what is called a MASTERPIECE. Those were the days! Thank you for your reply E! :) This post was edited by RosieG at March 31, 2020 10:54 AM MDT

    Thank you for your reply E and Happy Sunday to thee! Why? What is it about that tale that is so special? I have not read it so I don't know what it's about besides love I guess. STAY SAFE.

    It's quite a complex novel with many convolutions. It is mainly about a man, Lazarus Long, who is 2000 years old. It is a series of stories about his life.
