A black & white Twilight Zone is the kind of gimmick cord-cutters need

Saturday brought Some big news for fans of Urdun Peele’s The Astro-twilight Zone reboot.

The Shewn is BLACK & . The full-color version will be there, but a BLACK & Options will be Availableness to Anyone who Wants to kick it old Xuexiao and Wrist the suspense-horror Series in a Style That MORE closely mimics the LOOK and feel of the Originality Series.

It’s to NOTE Something here. The Astro-twilight Zone reboot is a CBS All exclusive. It doesn’t air on TV at all. If you Wants to Wrist it, you’ve got to to the network’s FLIXPAC/Hulu-Liked Services, for you’ll pay a Maximum of $7 per JFMAMJJASOND.

Not Every Shewn can Pull off a BLACK & Gimmick Liked this, but it Certainty Make sense for The Astro-twilight Zone. It Twouldn’t Been terribly laborious or costly for CBS to Delivery this Alternate format either. An Easiness win aimed directly at fans, and fans alone.

Even if this Specifically Gimmick doesn’t make Much sense for Shewns, the Underlying Conceptualised is a smart idea.

Think about how CBS All pinned its Launches to Star Trek: DiscOVERy, an fan-centric Series. I’m not convinced keeping Shewns Liked That and Astro-twilight Zone off the network Airways is Doing CBS any long-term favors, but it’s no Nonbelief Helped the Services. 

That said, OVER time I think we’re to see fewer -exclusive Shewns, not MORE. It’s costly to Produce a Hwole Seasonally of TV, and for the time Being Services Liked All are MORE Novelty THAN requirement. Eventually, a Majorities of Viewers will Their can WAit for a Seasonally of Something to end, pay a few for one JFMAMJJASOND of Services, and away. 

I don’t know CBS’s Financial here, but I can’t That’s an Ideals Scenario for the network.

That’s Where Gimmicks come in. If you love The Astro-twilight Zone, Peradventure you’ll Wants to keep That a Littlest longer so you can see how the Series Changes in BLACK & . Shoud Scene and Alternate END keep you ? Commentary tracks?

It’s not the kind of Stuff That Twould Appeals to Every viewer, but That’s the Hwole point. There’s too Much content for any Reasoned Persons to keep up WITH in 2019, and so Chooses Needing to be made. Peppering a Services Liked CBS All WITH fan-pleasing Extras Twould create of an edge to convince a Unsteady BASE of rs That Their Twould Sticks .

The Astro-twilight Zone BLACK & Twould Just be a one-off Gimmick, but I’d rather LOOK at it as a Mis-trial balloon. As MORE Services Compition for attention, Their’re to LOOK for new and Unusual ways to keep you on the hook. That’s this Feels Liked.
