Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This collection, and it's predecessor Collection 1, are extremely interesting artifacts from the early days of television. These are sci-fi stories, performed live, without special effects, but with real stories and lots of character development.
Many of the episodes also include the original commercials, so when you're watching the DVD, you're viewing what people saw in its entirety when these things first aired, which was over fifty years ago.
One word of caution, don't go into this DVD with expectations of the modern sci-fi experience. This is NOT Star Wars. In fact, it is closer in execution to The Twilight Zone, although this series preceeded TZ by a few years. But even at that, since this series was done live, there are occaisional mistakes that the actors make, so if you're one who likes flawless execution, acting, and FX, this probably isn't your cup of tea. On the other hand, if you like watching actors quickly recover, and like a sense of sponeity in your viewing, this might be worth your time.
So if you want to travel back in time to prime time in 1951, this DVD is a vehicle going to that destination.
