And having never watched anything from this era (except Chaplin I guess), it's also a fun look back at clothing, special effects, sets, etc from the era.
I'm envious of you seeing them for the first time. The original Twilight Zones had intriguing premises, great acting, a condensed plot, of course, a meaningful twist at the end. Nowadays on a TV series or even a movie, you get the first two if you are lucky. Rarely now is there is ever a memorable twist ending. Often the current endings have characters just die for no particular interesting reason. Have fun.
