I beg to differ, my friends.  This is no catch at all.  Simply
to have heard of The Twilight Zone is not to render one guilty
of being a regular, or even occasional, viewer.

In point of fact, I was the first ufologist to ask Betty Hill a
related question, after a debunker had written several articles
claiming a link between Barney Hill's testimony and an episode
of a Twilight Zone-like show titled Outer Limits.  Mrs. Hill
told me, "As for the Outer Limits program -- never heard of it.
Barney worked nights.  If he was not working, we were never home
because of our community activities.  If we had been  home, I am
sure this title would not interest us."

The clear implication of the dismissive phrase "this title"
suggests that the Hills were not much enamored of SF shows on
television, including, we may presume, The Twilight Zone.
