The book is OK but unfortunately the author puts way too much of his opinions into his comments about the episodes, as if he's the authoritative decider on which episodes are great and which are not. Really turned me off especially when he shredded what I think are some of Rod Serling's finest stories.

How is it a display of ego to offer what I thought of the book? So I need to be a published author to have an opinion about someone else's opinion? By that perspective, then you would need to be a filmmaker to spew opinions on any movies you see. That's ridiculous, but so is your comment which is intended to do nothing more than provoke me.

Cut the author a little slack, this book was written 35 years ago before books of this type were commonplace. You're correct in that we should be giving him accolades for the research, interviews, etc. It's unfortunate his opinions taint one's impression of the book as a whole. For example, I recall him seemingly annoyed that Richard Matheson named characters after his daughter Tina in a few episodes. I can share in his critique of Serling's work, but dont mess with Matheson! I read this but do not remember details. Serling certainly wrote his share of crappy eps. Which ones does the author single out that apparently incense the fans on this board?
