In today’s A.D.D. world, it’s not easy to sit through long-form content on the Internet. But one huge exception is Rod Serling’s “The Twilight Zone.”

Episodes from the first three seasons of the greatest series to ever grace television are now available for your streaming pleasure at CBS.com.

Everyone has their favorites — and I would have to think long and hard to pick my top 10 — but here are a few on my to-watch (again) list over the next few days:

• Time Enough At Last (Too bad he didn’t have audio stories)
• I Shot An Arrow Into The Air
• Shadow Play
• The Howling Man

Get your Tivo’s ready — horror anthology returns to network television on June 5 with NBC’s “Fear Itself.”

The series will feature 13 — of course — episodes or “mini-movies” as the Peacock prefers to call them. And they’ve lined up some solid creative types, like directors John Landis (”An American Werewolf in London”) and Brad Anderson (“The Machinist” — an excellent flick, btw), writer Steve Niles (”30 Days of Night”) and actor Brandon Routh (”Superman Returns.”)

“Fear Itself” is executive produced by Keith Addis and Andrew Deane — those are the guys who brought you Showtime’s “Master’s of Horror” series, so they should be able to deliver the goods.

Get your Tivo’s ready — there’s a double-feature of Well Told Tales thesps on TV tonight. Another favorite WTT reader — and “Side Effects” star — Rachael Drummond will be profiled on TruTV show “Hollywood Heat” on Thursday at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT.

Rachael is an excellent dramatic actor. But she’s also very funny.

She’s a member of the Trophy Wife improv group at IO West and has been getting a lot of buzz (The Atlantic, AOL News) recently for her Hillary Clinton rap videos, which caught the attention of TruTV producers.

Congrats, Rachael!

Here’s one of her Hillary rap video:
