Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “Go with The Twilight Zone unless you already have full seasons or the complete series.” Alex says, “This is a pretty cruddy week this week. I’d say that if you don’t want to get the season sets of The Twilight Zone, the Essential Episodes collection is a pretty good buy.”
Wow, The Incredible Hulk ran for 5 seasons?
5 seasons and four movies, including the pilot movie.
It’s not genre but Operation Petticoat is a fun WWII submarine flick. Cary Grant is given command of the USS Sea Tiger which gets sunk before it even gets a chance to join the war. Hilarity ensues as they try to get their wounded ship back to port.
Tony Curtis is great and Cary Grant is Cary Grant. It’s definitely worth checking out.
