The Sci-Fi Channel begins their Fourth of July marathon of The Twilight Zone. With 110 episodes over the next few days that is what I call a TV show marathon. There are a few breaks in the early morning for some infomercials but other than that it is all The Twilight Zone all the time. Will you be watching?
