“There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call The Twilight Zone.”.

Greetings my fine readers of the PiercingMetal initiative and welcome back to the website once again as we steadily head towards the end of 2024. So if you’ve been following the site for a few years you were probably expecting or hoping for this article as its become a bit of a tradition by now as this post is the sixth go-round of the topic at hand. I’m talking about the absolutely legendary anthology series known as “The Twilight Zone”. The show first aired in 1959 and ran for five seasons with a total of 156 episodes that have remained as timeless and enthralling as they did some 65 years ago. Back in 2020, I decided to begin sharing the annual marathon that the folks over at the Syfy network do around this time. It’s a lengthy marathon that begins before and runs into the brand-new year and the Science Fiction and Mystery fans cannot get enough of it. Truth be told, back in 2020 it was better to be inside but I felt like continuing with this since its good Google traction and the show has remained one of my very favorites of all time. I’ve pointed out that many in my friendship circle don’t even go all out for New Year’s Eve anymore and I don’t mind that myself and would rather watch the ball drop on the television, field a few dozen text messages and then tune into some classic programming. This year’s marathon will begin in the early morning hours of the New Year’s Eve Day and run into the pre-dawn hours of January 2nd. All of the episodes appear to be from the original series with the exception of season #4 as no episodes appear to be from that one in the marathon. The marathon also seems to be a number of episodes shorter and runs for “113” as opposed to last year’s “142”. As a NYC resident that uses Spectrum as their cable provider, I culled the listings from their own Channel Guide and present it all down below for your consumption. If there are any last minute changes, don’t give me a hard time as once I cobbled together the post it went up online as is. You can send the network an email about it or complain on their social media channels. I still think that “113” episodes is a pretty beefy marathon so let’s take a look shall we?
