The Twilight Zone

Absolutely brilliant and undeniably groundbreaking, with an awe-inspiring number of classic episodes. Demonstrated what the infant medium of TV was capable of. Most iconic theme song ever.

Holds up incredibly well for a decades old black and white anthology. The quality of episodes is way higher than any modern day counterparts with only Hitchcock's series rivaling its variety and quality.

I never caught up with this show until it was streaming on Netflix. It's shocking how timeless almost every episode feels. Almost any time I watch something from before 1970 (movies also, but especially tv), it feels so dated that you have to put yourself in the time to even try to appreciate it. Not this--the ideas are completely fresh, even when I've seen them ripped off or parodied dozens of times. Really impressive work.

Variable but not infrequently quite good.

Lots of gems, lots of crap.
