The Invaders
Its A Good Life
Midnight Sun
Living Doll
The Obsolete Man
The Dummy
Penny For Your Thoughts
The Masks
Nick of Time

Monsters Are Due on Maple Street
Kick the Can
 
Loved first view of all of them. But once you know the final twist... And they were all great it's tough to watch the reruns. But awesome watching for the first time!
 
The problem with watching TZ reruns, or any vintage reruns for that matter, is that they were written in an era of 25 minutes of programming content and 5 minutes of commercials. We are now in an era of 21 minutes of content and 9 minutes of commercials. That means that 4 minutes of original content get cut, resulting in some annoying discontinuity.

If you have Netflix, they have all of the 25-minute originals (from seasons 1, 2, 3, and 5.) There are no season 4 episodes on Netflix (those were the hour-long episodes (including commercials.)
 
Also, showtime is now showing a Homeland marathon leading to the new season starting January 15th.
