Where To Watch
Can you tell the difference between the original Twilight Zone and the 1980s reboot?
It's not so easy without the color.
Some people still had black & white televisions in the 1980s. We had a little portable one atop our nightstand to watch Letterman. Eighties sitcoms and action shows had a different vibe without the color.
In 1985, The Twilight Zone returned to television. The stories were largely new, penned by esteemed horror-fantasy writers like Stephen King and George R. R. Martin. There were some remakes of classic stories, too.
Many of the new tales took place in the past. Which makes this quiz a little tougher. Of course, we had to make everything black & white, otherwise it would be far too easy.
See if you can tell the difference between the ahead-of-its-time original and the nostalgic reboot.

It can be hard to keep your bearings in… The Twilight Zone!
13/14. #12.
I was 11/14 but i think i did okay considering i guessed on most of them.
13/14, and have never seen the reboot.
14/14. I've never seen any zones after the original series with the exception of the one with the grown-up Anthony Freemont and his daughter.
There are a lot of great post-Serling zones, but "It's Still A Good Life" is a classic, and yes, it's Billy Mumy's real daughter!
13 out of 14. And I am TRYING to like the reboot. But the original was and will always be the best in my opinion.
I've never seen it.
14/14! Really, Agnes wasn't a supercomputer, even for 1964 it was backward!
13/14.missed #9
Oh yeah I forgot to ask.What's a VCR?😋
11/14. Creepy either way.
No, laughable either way. TZ is a great sitcom! These days, we all could use a good laugh! How anybody can make themselves scared over shows/movies like these, is beyond me! I've never been afraid. The only time I will not laugh, is if there's a disclaimer saying that this was based on a true story. Like what was always said at the end of Dragnet: "The story you have just seen is true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent." Then, I won't laugh at others misfortune. But I suppose, the argument could be made, that even if there's no disclaimer, the story could still be a true.
