I caved. It's sitting here on my desk, waiting to be opened. The yellow $87.99 sticker is looking up at me with victory. 
I can't wait to take it home after work and place it alongside the other four sets. Ah, completion!

Of course, this sense of completion is only temporary... because given my level of obsessive adoration for all things Twilight Zone, I'll have no choice but to upgrade when the inevitable HD editions are released. 
But I'll certainly enjoy this feeling for now.
Since it's the last working day of the year, we've pretty much got NOTHING going on here, so I've spent my entire day surfing the web, e-mailing my wife and... well, documenting my Twilight Zone collecting over the years. If you'll all pardon a really long post, I'll share it...
MY LIFE IN THE SHADOW OF THE TWILIGHT ZONE
Funny, I've been thinking back over the past 20 years, and marveling at how many times I've collected The Twilight Zone on home video.
First, I videotaped the series in the 80's. A local station started airing the half-hour episodes six nights a week, with an hour-long episode shown on Saturdays. I eagerly began spending my allowance money (I was 12 or 13) on blank VHS tapes and recorded it every single night. Every now and then I’d miss an episode due to a variety of problems (a stray power outage, for example, or setting the VCR to record at 11:00 AM instead of PM), but I steamed ahead undaunted, fairly sure that they’d show every episode at least twice. After a couple of years I had 151 episodes recorded, which represented the entire syndication package. Five episodes eluded me, however (the five non-syndicated episodes, otherwise known as “The Lost Five”). Much to my delight, three of these rare gems were aired as part of a Silver Anniversary Special around 1987 or so. I then stumbled upon the fourth non-syndicated episode (“An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge”) on a public domain tape in a clearance bin at a music store. A few years later (1992 to be precise: I remember because it was shortly after the birth of my daughter), I triumphantly finished the collection with the purchase of the two-tape “Treasures of The Twilight Zone” VHS set, which provided the final missing episode (“The Encounter”).
Next, I bought the entire series on VHS from Columbia House, to replace the hacked-up syndicated versions I had already collected. 42 purchases later, I had the entire series, complete and uncut, which meant I could set aside my home recordings. I believed that this would be the final time I'd ever collect the series.
Next, I bought the entire series on DVD, a single disc at a time. I didn't hesitate because of the leap in quality from VHS to DVD. 45 purchases later, I had the entire series in digital form and could get sell off my Columbia House tapes (which I did, a few at a time). Better yet, the slimmer DVD cases took up much less room. I firmly believed that this would be the final time I'd ever collect the series.
Then, in December of last year, the first of the five Definitive DVD sets was released. Naturally, I snapped it up, especially given the tremendous leap in quality from the previous DVDs, which were sold off on eBay for a decent sum. An added bonus is the minimal shelf space these sets take up. My impending purchase of Season 5 will mark the fourth time I've collected the series in its entirety.
The reason I'm thinking about all this? Because last night in my garage, digging through boxes, I discovered my original VHS home recordings. I thought they were long gone (in fact, I have a vague memory of throwing the entire box into a dumpster with a sort of manic glee, but I guess I must've dreamed it or something). I sifted through them, studying the crude hand-written episode titles on colored paper scotch-taped to each tape sleeve. I remembered fondly the excitement I felt every time I finished one tape and started a new one. I recalled the thrill I experienced when I finally recorded “Eye of the Beholder” after missing it the first time around. I basked in the glow of a time long past, when my responsibilities consisted solely of doing my homework and getting my chores done, when The Twilight Zone was my daily ticket to mystery, to terror, to paradox, to fascinating realms of wonder and imagination. Touching those tattered, clunky tapes was like touching my childhood. Tears welled up in my eyes. Tears are welling up in my eyes again, as I type these words.
This series has accompanied me through high school, through college, through a failed marriage, through fatherhood, through career changes, from adolescence to middle-age. It’s inextricably a part of who I am.
I purchased the first four Definitive sets eagerly, but for the most part they’ve sat on the shelf in my office. Since I tend toward obsessive compulsion, having them was paramount, but actually watching them hasn’t been a priority. Why haven’t I explored these sets? Why haven’t I set aside adequate time? Have I simply been too busy? Or have I been waiting till the collection is complete?
The collection is about to be complete. Again.
I fear I will sob like a baby, and my wife will think I’m even crazier than she already believes me to be.
I hereby pledge, in writing, that I will watch these DVDs. I will make the time. I will, I will, I will.
I must.
Suddenly $87.99 at Best Buy sounds perfectly reasonable. And as it's nearing my lunch break, I think I'll drive on out there and complete this collection once and for all.
Well, until the HD editions are released, that is.
...which brings us to my previous post. Season 5 is sitting here on my desk, still wrapped in plastic, waiting to be opened. The entire series is now in my possession; the circle is complete. Definitive indeed.... for now.
Happy New Year.

That really is a great documentary by the way, I remember taping it off of PBS about 10 years ago (which also shares a tape with the affore mentioned "The Time Element" that I recorded off of TV Land around that same time.)

Speaking of The Time Element, is there anybody out there who's got a DVD-R transfer of it? I had it on VHS years ago, but I think my (now ex) wife taped over it or something (maybe that was why I divorced her, ha ha). I'd happily pay somebody to make a copy of it for me. Or if somebody wants to loan me thier VHS copy, I'll transfer it to DVD-R and provide a copy to the tape owner for free. Now that I've got all five Definitive sets, I want to watch the entire series all the way through... but I'd prefer to start with the proto-Zone episode that is the unofficial "true" pilot. Can anybody help?

Man I'm finishing up Season 2 and let me tell you.....the dvd reviewer for this season was not exaggerating at all regarding those tapped episodes. They were horrible. They had that soap opera look to them. I couldn't get into the episodes for some reason. They just looked plain bad.

Alright fine. I have The Time Element on VHS. I've been meaning to transfer it to DVD-R for quite awhile now. I'll dig it out this weekend and transfer it at work. I could make a copy from that if you really want one.
PM me if you're interested.

Marcellusk, I grew up watching those six episodes as horrendous syndicated kinescope transfers. These original videotape transfers are lights years better, so I was actually pleasantly surprised when I saw them. They don't come close to the pristine quality of the filmed episodes, but how could they? This is as good as those six get.
Oddly enough, IMHO "22" and "Night of the Meek" are somehow enhanced by the videotape process. I'm probably the only person in the world who thinks this.

I can see what you mean though, particularly Art Carney's performance in "Meek". He's just amazing and I'm sure the live performance setting probably helped. Now if we could only get some of his Serling scripted Playhouse 90's(The Velvet Alley in particular) that would be something!

I've been hoping and praying for YEARS that we'd see releases of The Velvet Alley, Patterns, and Requiem for a Heavyweight (the TV versions, not the feature films). I'm still waiting....

Well, I thought I'd add that in a few days I will have the complete collection (all 5 original seasons, the 3 seasons from the 80s series and the only season from 2002)
I'm awaiting arrival on season 5 from DDD

Well, I'd never consider my Twilight Zone collection "incomplete" because I choose not to own the UPN series. It's utter crap, thoroughly unworthy of the TZ name. I'm a total purist when it comes to TZ: Original series ONLY. Having said that, I do like some of the 80's episodes quite a lot ("Profile in Silver" in particular), so I do own both of those DVD sets, but not because they carry the name. For me, The Twilight Zone lasted for five seasons and five seasons ONLY. It ain't the real thing without Rod.
But I will NEVER buy the 2002 series. Ugh. Hated it.

well from the chat...
(RonEpstein) I'm going to sneak in a question I know is on the top of
everyone's list. What is the status of TWILIGHT ZONE: THE MOVIE? This
has got to be one of the most requested titles as of late.
(Warner) We are VERY VERY close to finally getting TWILIGHT ZONE: THE
MOVIE out on DVD. Please pray with us, We know everyone wants it.

I truly doubt that is the actual holdup. On the other hand, i would believe that it would be a little harder to get people to open up about this one in the extras section. And commentary is almost a definate no, since Landis doesn't want to talk about the horrorible experience, and Spielberg doesn't do commentaries.

Amazon.com lists the title now as "not yet released -- sign up for pre-order" or whatever the option is where they'll e-mail you when the title is announced. Sounds like it's in production!
