I can only hope that this new Twilight Zone will soon show up on Netlfix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime.

I did get to see the first episode, and I really, REALLY want to watch the entire series.

There was a bunch of hoopla about it but I never caught where it would be airing or streaming.

I may need to give that a try. The original was a huge part of my childhood.

Seriously, it's like he is blocked out. Then again, it could be that nothing illogical heard actually gets through.

...time, or money.

My wife and I cut cable and broadcast television a little over ten years ago.

If "on demand" television is the future I'm hoping it splinters to the point we can buy individual movies and series, just as we can buy individual books and magazines, either paper or electronic, from multiple sources. My wife and I buy many books, and subscribe to many magazines.

The only streaming service we subscribe to is Netflix. One of our kids set us up with that. We also rent movies from our local Redbox, and have a large collection of DVDs. I often buy DVDs in thrift stores. That's more than enough television.

Sorry, I know it has little to do with your post, but I'm trying to send a message to the television industry. Traditional broadcast and cable television is obsolete. These cable-like streaming services unnecessarily limit the potential audience for any given show. They are desperately trying to keep the old business models going.

I'd like to see this Twilight Zone episode but I'm not willing to support CBS All Access or other streaming services like it.

I’ve got a hard and fast rule that any new streaming service only comes in if an existing subscription goes out. Even then I’m overspending, tbh.

and it was scary. Probably was easy to think up and write, because all you have to do is listen to a news channel when Trump is speaking. Embarrassing.

it was clearly modeled after current events. child like person speaking simplistic ideas gets elected.

Some aren't concerned about his behavior. Some are.

Little hints at Trump. The golfing. lol
