Synopsis by Hal Erickson
In this spoof of The Twilight Zone, Walter (Sinbad) uses his best Rod Serling voice to narrate the misadventures of his friends when they take on their mid-terms and enter. . ."The Exam Zone." For starters, Whitley (Jasmine Guy) has a devil of a time finding a peaceful, quiet place to cram for her accounting exam. Also, Dwayne ends up in the doghouse when, while substitute-teaching for Col. Taylor (Glynn Turman), he allows Taylor's irresponsible son Terrence (Cory Tyler) to go astray. And finally, Freddie (Cree Summer) hears weeeeeird voices just before an African-American Studies test.
