I don’t think I’ve ever seen a set with so many great extras. It really is jam-packed. I have the DVDs, and watched all the extras when the discs came out 15+ years ago. I upgraded to blu-ray when these came along, but haven’t rewatched all the extras. I regret that the Blu-ray doesn’t list them.
Nearly all the expert commentaries (Marc Scott Zicree, Martin Grams, Gary Gerani and others) are good because they're well-researched and informative and they clearly love the show so they are the gold standard for a classic TV commentary in my mind. There's a couple with celebrity guests like Matthew Weiner and Neil Gaiman which are cool if you're a fan of theirs. Also, the isolated scores are amazing if you're a music fan.
Most reruns of Meek until recently were sourced from a NOB Kiniscope.

CHEERS!
One of my all-time favorite spooky episodes of the show - "Twenty-Two" - was one of the videotaped episodes, and that tape gives the eeriness an immediacy that scared the daylights out of me when I was a kid and which I still find very unsettling.‘The Twilight Zone’…The Six Video Tape Episodes
Not quite every TZ episode was shot on 35mm Film. During the 2nd season, CBS had an idea on one way to reduce the show's per episode production costs. Thankfully, after having recorded six episodes using the inferior quality process, the experiment was deemed a bust, and shooting on 35mm film resumed for the rest of the series run!
CHEERS!
"Room for one more, honey."
Same here. My ten- or eleven-year old self was blown away by it. I was surprised years later to learn about the six video episodes, and that "Twenty-Two" was one of them, but the look and feel of this one does indeed have an impact.
I think that a few of the episodes from the last two seasons are legitimately bad but the number of good, great or amazing episodes is insanely large.
