R.I.P. Gene Barry. Appeared in 80s TZ Time and Teresa Golowitz Starred in War of the Worlds
Actor Gene Barry, who played The Prince of Darkness in the 1980s Twilight Zone story “Time and Teresa Golowitz,” died on December 9, 2009. Barry is probably best known to science fiction fans for starring in the 1953 adaptation of H.G. Wells’s The War of the Worlds. In the 1950s and 60s, Barry also starred on television, notably in the series Bat Masterson and Burke’s Law.

July 4, 2009 Twilight Zone Marathon: The Original Series
This year's July4th Marathon starts on Friday July 3rd at 5:00 PM. At least the marathon of the original series. Prior to then, Sci-Fi Channel has a marathon of the 1980s series going.
Today, I did watch a few of the 1980s Twilight Zones. I didn't get home in time for "A Message from Charity." I did see "The Shadow Man." I didn't quite get the quote right this morning. The episode still holds up though.
This morning I said that I don't remember the Sci-Fi Channel running 1980s TZ episodes before the original series previously. Today I saw commercials advertising the 80s episodes as part of the marathon. That seemed really familiar. Like I suddenly had a vague memory of them doing it before, but I didn't watch the newer ones at that time. Some of the 1980s episodes are really good, but it's the original series that I'm addicted to.
Okay. On to the original series. I noticed a few things about this marathon. They're not running any of the hour long episodes this time. So far the listings show everything starting and ending right on the hour and half hour marks. That seems to indicate that they're not using the "uncut" versions this time.
Now for the line up I got from the channel guide.

A New Twilight Zone Marathon: Episodes of the 1980s Revival
Maybe the Sci-Fi Channel has done it before, and I just didn't notice, but starting this morning and running until 5:00 PM tomorrow, they're having a marathon of the 1980s' version of The Twilight Zone. Back in the 1990s when 11 Alive from New York City ran the July4th and New Year's Twilight Zone marathons, there was a time or two when they threw in a block of episodes from the 80s revival. I can't quite recall if they ended with a bunch of the new ones late at night/ early in the morning, or if they ran a bunch in that time frame and then showed some more of the original shows.
There are a few remakes here like "The After Hours" and "The Night of the Meek." There were also episodes unique to this series. I haven't seen many of these in something like 23 years (Yes, I don't watch the revival over and over and over like I do with the original series), but I still remember them very well.
"The Shadow Man" is an example. "I'm somebody else's shadow man." "A Message From Charity" is another episode I remember. A 20th century boy exchanges messages with a girl from 17th century Salem. I did see part of a re-run of it sometime in the 90s, but I haven't really watched the entire two part episode since the mid-80s. At the time, I loved it, and it was one of my favorite episodes. It's what hooked me on watching the 80s series. I don't know how well it holds up today. If I get a chance, I'll watch it again, and see if I still like it. It depends on if I get out of work on time.
Also, while the concept seems really old now, and it's been done to death (or living death as the case may be), episodes like "Monsters!" introduced me to the idea of good vampires. "That's when the real monsters come out." I still like that story even if the current flood of "good" vampire stories makes me want to gag. (I'm not saying "Monsters!" is the first story about good vampires, it's just the first one I ever saw, and it seemed really new at the time.) "Red Snow" about vampires in Siberia was memorable too. Hmm . . . an arctic setting with long periods of dark . . Wonder if anyone will ever use that concept again? LOL.
Listings on the channel guide aren't always 100% accurate, but here's what the guide lists. I notice that sometimes there are two stories in one half hour episode. The Night Gallery did that a lot, but the original Twilight Zone didn't.
