Pam said : "I now have all the eps I preferred from the series. It
doesn't say much when out of 26 eps available, I only want 6-8 of
them, does it?"

Actually, Rod Serling himself said that he only liked a third of the
Twilight Zone episodes and thought a third were "dogs."

The test of a good show is not PER SE the number of good episodes
(although this obviously helps) but what the quality of the average
third are. In Twilight Zone, even the average and forgettable
episodes are worth watching. Gerry Anderson shows, from what I have
seen, has some TERRIFIC episodes and stories but also had a number of
REALLY BAD ones. The problem with GA shows was the ability (or lack
thereof) to maintain a level of excellence. One got the feeling that
episodes were rushed through. Had he taken the time to work out the
problems on UFO, Space : 1999, and even Space Precinct he would have
had some truly classic series (of course, they are still classics,
aren't they)?
