Saw the first episode of the new Twilight Zone.

Hmm.

I want this series to succeed (I'm a fan of the original "zone") but was less
than impressed with the first episode.  I admire Harlan Ellison's writing, but
the screen adaptation of "Shatterday" was a disappointment; Bruce Willis (sp?)
(who is quite good in "Moonlighting") seemed shallow and lifeless, possibly due
to bad direction, and the whole story seemed much too long and drawn-out.

The second story was better, even though the ending was obvious almost from the
beginning.

Even the opening credits were lackluster; more reminiscent of "Night Gallery"
than the original "zone".

I hope it gets better, but I'm not setting my hopes too high.

Looking forward to "Amazing Stories"' debut tonight.
