Part of the fun of discovering old TV shows is catching familiar faces from other old TV shows in unfamiliar surroundings. Twilight Zone 29 delivers the goods with four fun blasts from the TV Land past, including Mr. French (Sebastian Cabot) from "Family Affair" in the first of the DVD's four episodes. Mr. French, er, Cabot sports an all-white coif as he grants wishes to the pleased -- if flummoxed -- Rocky Valentine (portrayed by early '70s game-show giant Larry Blyden) in "A Nice Place to Visit." The second episode delivers our favorite Bewitched Darren, Dick York, as a bank clerk who suddenly develops the ability to read minds in "A Penny for Your Thoughts." The boomer TV flashbacks continue in "I Am the Night -- Color Me Black," with the great character actor Michael Constantine (Principal Kaufman from Room 222) as a local sheriff confronting what seems to be a politically motivated eclipse. (Hey, it's the Twilight Zone, remember?) The disc's fourth episode, "Little Girl Lost," comes up short on star power but is a haunting tale of a child trapped between dimensions. She's heard, but not seen, in a characteristic Rod Serling twist. With a modern effects budget, who knows how spooky it could have been? Greg Fagan
