I haven't seen the movie yet, but here in Los Angeles a local TV station showed a TZ marathon on the 4th, and they featured three original TZ episodes which were remade in the movie. These three were the kick-the-can episode, "The Cornfield" (i.e., the little boy who turned people into cartoons), and the airplane episode. I'd guess that the Vic Morrow episode was never a TZ episode, though I don't know that for sure. So the last two episodes in the movie were actually TZ remakes, which makes Greg's claim a little strange. Incidentally, the short story that "The Cornfield" was based on is very good. Anyone remember the title/author? -- Scott --
