no more scapegoats please . . . means the New Years Day choice of 'marathon programming' specifically broadcast on SyFy today, The Twilight Zone offer some profound messages as discovered in watching the chosen episodes they aired. 46 hours of stereotypical, influential, prejudice BUT highly motivating material is something few might look forward to when travelling this 'entertainment avenue'. However, the classic representation of how society held precious the terms like monotheism, ethnocentrism and racism--those nasty 'isms' the human race adopts to mingle but ends up colliding . . . and then cannot fathom why there is so much hate, asking who is responsible.
Well duh !
I enjoyed episodes that centered around time travel, clairvoyance, dreams, illogical situations that would turn possible if just the spirit instead of ego is embraced. The shows that come to mind are "Willoughby", "Midnight Sun", "I Sing The Body Electric", "Living Doll" and "An Unusual Camera". If I could re-write some of these with less mediocrity and more imaginative harmony, a true 'grass is greener on the other side' would exist. Right now the viewer just watches this stuff in amusement instead of an avenue for channleing change.
Did you ever watch a Twilight Zone episode airing during the early to late 60's ?
