Greg's contention that the first two episodes of the new Twilight Zone
movie were most like the show is interesting.  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?
