Only ever saw a couple episodes of Twilight Zone, so I can't really speak to it. "Tales from the Crypt" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" were probably my favorites, although I quit watching Buffy during season 4. Either because it went downhill or that I was tired of lying about what I was doing at 9pm.

I'm not going to dwell on the sales too much, as long as it isn't the kiss of death for any possible future material. I mean, I like Billy Idol...but I'm not mortified that "Devil's Playground" didn't move as many units as "Rebel Yell."

With that said I don't think that CD should have had problems selling 500k first week if either the band or the exclusive retailer had shown any interest in promoting it. Maybe awareness was high enough, but that's not the same thing as hype. Metallica had the whole "back to basics" angle, while AC/DC had a groovy lead single and a poster above every Wal Mart underwear rack. CD had an underwhelming single that seemed to be chosen because of its name and...some soda pop name dropping.

Madagascar. There are parts of the song that I like, but the (seemingly) 20 minutes of quotes just kill it halfway.
