A Ticket to the Twilight Zone

For Christmas, Santa Claus brought the family a Blu-ray player.  Our old DVD/Video cassette player died roughly 6 years ago, and even though we never removed it from the entertainment center (I know, pretty sad, right?) we used Jim's Xbox to play DVDs.  However, we both felt that a new system would be a smart choice.  Santa's gift was exactly what we wanted.  We also decided to purchase Netflix as an added "cherry on the top".

I must say that Netflix is quite fun for us.  The Ladybugs have enjoyed watching old episodes of Jem, new episodes of My Little Pony, and current episodes of Curious George and Martha Speaks.  Jim and I have enjoyed watching episodes of Breaking Bad and The Twilight Zone.

Jim and I have always enjoyed watching TV marathons of The Twilight Zone, and often tape a few during the run.  However, we have been watching the episodes in order, and we have noticed a running theme: age of characters.  Then men are always 36 and the women are always 27.

Neither Jim nor I fit TTZ (The Twilight Zone) profile, so we are very lucky to know we won't be pulled into an odd world where time is infinity.

On a more serious note - one has to wonder why 36 and 27.  Where those ages that Rod Sterling felt could connect to the average age of the viewing public?  It seems another writer also wondered about this: Click Here.

However, for those of you male reader who are not yet 36, and those female readers who are not yet 27, beware!
