    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: The Twilight Zone Season 1 Blu-ray

    The episode's production number (4813) confirms this. "Little Girl Lost," by contrast, had a production number of 4822. Mystery solved!

    Now THIS is interesting. I compared the blu-rays to the Definitive Edition DVDs (from "Little Girl Lost" through the end of the season), and here are my findings: First, a bit of background: the show used the same opening theme for seasons 2-5, which is a hybrid of two different cues...

    It's on mine, but it's hardly perceptible. Blink and you'll miss it. No reason not to buy Season 3.

    I ripped the isolated score from season 3's "Little Girl Lost" to see if the blu-ray audio is perceptibly superior to the DVD isolated score (which I ripped several years back). The blu-ray audio sounds thin and shrill by comparison... the DVD audio has deeper bass and more presence. I was...

    Mine arrived, and it plays fine on my old PS3. Thanks, Image! I wish they'd been more forthcoming throughout this process, but I can't deny the evidence that the problem has indeed been resolved. Season 3 comes out in 18 days! We should be getting an announcement for season 4 any day...

    I received the following email from Michele Johnson at Image today: "First let me apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced with our Twilight Zone Season 1 Blu-Ray product. We are in a position to send you a replacement, however are in need of your ship to address...

    The Sony BDP-S300 in my daughter's room doesn't have the original factory firmware. The firmware was last updated about a year ago, but I don't know offhand what the revision number is. I can check tonight.

    If all this is true, I don't understand why Image can't freakin' ANNOUNCE that it's happening. They're obviously aware of the widespread issues we're having. If they were doing a new replication run, you'd think they'd WANT everyone to know about it.

    I dunno. They still need to address their unhappy customers in some meaningful fashion....

    My copy of season 2 arrived a day early! First (and most importantly), all four discs loaded in both my PS3 and my Samsung player without incident. Cursory browsing through each disc resulted in no issues whatsoever. "Night of the Meek" has the ending of Serling's closing narration...

    Really? I'd be happy to "upset" them if it meant they'd actually wake up and stop ignoring the customers who are buying their products. I sent two courteous emails, and they haven't replied at all. They've "upset" me plenty. I should tiptoe around them? And now season 2 might be dodgy...

    Update: Got the second replacement set from Amazon. Like the previous replacement set, it was sloppily re-shrinkwrapped and lacking the normal factory stickers.... in other words, it's (again) someone else's return. Okay, whatever. So I'm sitting here with three sets. As I reported in...

    I sent yet another message to Amazon, and now they're overnighting me ANOTHER replacement. Their response included the following priceless blurb: "If you've any difficulty playing this another replacement "The Twilight Zone: Season One" I would request you to update the player firmware...

    Nelson, I posted my Amazon replacement story in another thread, but I'll recap it here for you: My disc 4 wouldn't load in my ps3 (with the latest firmware), so Amazon overnighted a replacement set to me. Unfortunately, the set they sent was a USED set with a cracked case and sloppily...

    I emailed Image on 10/09, but they never replied. In the interim, I've received a replacement set from Amazon, which is also defective. I just now emailed Image again. We'll see what happens.

    UPDATE: I tried Disc 4 on my Samsung BD-C6500, and it played fine.... what a relief. I'll just make sure not to watch disc 4 in the bedroom (where the PS3 is). Still reeling from the pristine quality of this set. There's a shot in "A Nice to Place to Visit" (when Rocky and Pip visit the...

    Disc 4 will not load in my PS3 (I'm running the latest firmware). I've emailed both Image and Amazon (who I bought it from). No response from either yet. Needless to say, I'm pretty irritated at this point.
