This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: The Twilight Zone Season 3 - The 37 Blu-ray episodes encoded in Rod Serling's great TV series look simply fantastic, and the five-disc set is loaded with commentaries, isolated music tracks and other extras. Plenty of favorites and classics in season three; Broadcast News - James L. Brooks' take on the nightly network news focuses on the shift from journalistic aims to comforting entertainment. A romantic triangle between a producer, a reporter and an anchorman is trumped by a fourth element, careerism; and Network - Paddy Chayefsky expresses his love / rage opinions about Television and American culture through the ravings of a false prophet -- but his own prophecies about the future (our future) have turned out to be disturbingly prescient.
