| rdfs:comment | - The CBS Video Library produced a series of The Twilight Zone (Original Series) video cassettes exclusively available through a mail-order service, later distributed through Columbia House. For the fee of $29.95 (following an introductory volume at $9.95), subscribers would receive a cassette each month. Each cassette typically featured four half-hour episodes from the series, though some contained three (usually containing one of the hour-long episodes from Season 4) or, rarely, only two. Perhaps for this reason, the videos presented the episodes out of chronological order, by either production date or air date.

Perhaps for this reason, the videos presented the episodes out of chronological order, by either production date or air date. The cassettes started with an opening montage featuring some of the most memorable scenes and quotes from episodes in the series. The episodes themselves were compiled with no commercial breaks and contained an introductory screen that provided the original airing date for the episode. The tapes were shipped in hardbacked cases constructed for convenient display on bookshelves. Also included, through the inside of the hardcover case, were summaries for each episode as well as comments, trivia, and often revealing remarks from contributors to the series, such as producer William Self. Used copies of most of the volumes can be found still available for purchase online.
