SCI FI Channel is currently in the midst of its annual Fourth of July marathon featuring The Twilight Zone. In what I believe is a change from previous years, the marathon began yesterday (July 2nd) at 8:00AM Eastern with episodes from the 1985 version, and those will continue until 5:00PM Eastern this evening when the classic 1959 version takes over. The marathon ends at 6:00AM Eastern on Sunday, July 5th.
Be sure to check your local listings and enjoy hours and hours of wonderful television. And remember that SCI FI Channel becomes Syfy on Tuesday, July 7th, so this is the last marathon of The Twilight Zone under the current name. Sad. My personal favorite episode, “The Midnight Sun” (starring the late Lois Nettleton) airs tomorrow (July 4th) at 3:00PM Eastern. I’ll probably watch a few hours of the marathon but unlike SCI FI’s New Year’s Eve Day/New Year’s Day marathon, I won’t be watching for two days straight.
