Rebranded as just “Twilight Zone,” the series is resurrected for a fourth season and enters into a new dimension without Rod Serling at the helm. Experimenting with a new format, the episodes are expanded to an hour with more detailed plots and character arcs. However, this often works to the episodes’ detriment; taking away the wonder and quick wit that the series is known for. And a lot of the stories are retreads from previous seasons: astronauts slipping into alternate dimensions, time-traveling to change the past, getting a magic wish from a genie, etc., etc. Still, there are a few standout episodes, such as “He’s Alive,” “The New Exhibit,” and “On Thursday We Leave for Home.” Also, a number of impressive guest stars are featured, including Dennis Hopper, Pat Hingle, Bill Bixby, Anne Francis, Joyce Van Patten, and Burt Reynolds. Season 4 of Twilight Zone is often considered to be the black sheep of the series, but it has its moments.
