Well, I got to see the new Twilight Zone last night after missing the
premier last week. I thought it was extremely well-done, but I guess
that's to be expected of a project that involves the GD.

I was afraid that the stories for this series would be watered-down
and disappointing like the ones in the movie, but that fear has
been wiped out. The stories were at least of the same caliber of the
old Twilight Zone. 

The music wasn't all that noticeable, but if you were listening for
it, it was really excellent. Some of it was not at all what you'd
expect the Dead to sound like, which, if you think about it, is 
just what you'd expect! 

Back when I first heard that the Dead were getting involved with this 
show, I began to wonder if the Dead could indeed finally be involved
with something that is a commercial success with a wide audience.
After seeing the show, I've still got to wonder. I really enjoyed
it, but I have a feeling that it's just too weird for the general
public. It could very well generate a large enough cult following
to keep it on the air, but that audience already knows about the
Dead. I'm not complaining; it's already hard enough to get tickets!
