Thanks for those. Very entertaining! Funny, but it now occurs to me that I
have an old copy of Starlog or something similar containing an article about
the third Twilight Zone series, but I'd never actually realised that jms was
involved in it.

I remember that series as being much better than the earlier attempt to
revive TZ. I was especially impressed by the episode starring Harry Morgan
as it seemed much truer to the spirit of the old Twilight Zone.

That was "The Curious Case of Edgar Witherspoon," written by me and Huck
Barkin.

Came across kind of a nifty B5 guide over at:

Might be useful for folks just getting into the show on SFC.

I got the word today that the revamped psycomic.com site -- owned by USA
Networks -- will be going online Monday.

One of the features is a new weekly column by me (each Monday) and a new weekly
column by Kevin Smith (each Friday).

My column is entitled "Letters From the Edge," while Kevin's is "Views Askew."
My first installment is "I'm Fine, How Are You?" in which I try to avoid
writing a mission statement.

There was a 3rd Twilight Zone series?

I'm only familiar with the original and the 80's version. When did the
third one start and when did it end?

Was it any good?

The third season of the 80s Twilight Zone is often seen as separate
show, since it had a new production crew, was made for first run
syndication and generally had better writing.
