Reference level Blu-Ray - The real deal.

All Season 4 Episodes were 1 HOUR LONG, thus there is 18 total hours of aired episodes. Which is literally the same amount of hours as 36 half hour episodes. That is why price is the same as the other seasons - THE SEASON 4 SET WILL CONTAIN AT MINIMUM THE SAME AMOUNT OF BLU-RAY DISCS AS SEASON 3, IT MAY EVEN HAVE 1 MORE DISC DUE TO IT BEING MORE HOURS THAN SEASON 3!
KUDOS to the folks at Image for NOT using evil DNR which would have destroyed Mr. Serling's original intent. To those that do not know, grain is an literally part of the physical composition of silver nitrate. Director's chose film stock based on how much grain they wanted their artistic vision to have. Grain=Detail not the opposite. To remove grain no matter how carefully always removes fine detail. So much detail is in this Blu-ray set you can even see the ripples and sheen of Rod Serling's herringbone suits in some of the intro's. That and the tiny lines on actors faces is...
Better Than the Critics Assert
I realize the traditional point of view is that the fourth
season of Twilight Zone was the beginning of the decline of
the series. I won't argue with that point of view, but I do
take issue with those who would regard the fourth season as
poor quality or even trashy writing.
Although it was a network gimmick, it is a good thing that
Twilight Zone expanded to one hour. It represented the best
kind of artistic challenge to Serling and his excellent team
of writers. There are episodes here that simply could not be
done in the half-hour format. They require too much character
development and subtle nuances of detail. I'm talking about
"In His Image," "Jess-Belle," "Miniature," and "The Incredible
World of Horace Ford," among others. These episodes belong
with the best Twilight Zone ever produced.
While Season Four certainly...
