I'm 19 years old. I've been exactly like you. I never grew up watching this show (since I live in the U.K.), but I saw a top ten episode list for this show a year ago, and I thought it looked interesting, so I checked out a couple of episodes, and I got hooked instantly! I absolutely love this show! I just love the creativity and imagination behind Rod Serling, and the many other writers involved in the project. I even think many of the episodes hold up to this day, and considering this show is 50 years old, that's really saying something!
