My was the episode starring Jack Klugman and Ross Martin, when they landed on a planet and discovered they had previously crashed and got killed and refused to believe it. Screenplay by the guy who wrote "Legend", Matthison. Excellent acting.

I like the one where that guy does the thing. Right?

There were alot of good ones from the original series, but my favorite was "It's a good life" with Billy Mumy as the mutant kid with the strange powers, that runs the town.

He's Alive with Dennis Hopper as a Naxi wannabe taking orders from a guy who hides in the dark.

My bad that should read "Nazi" not Naxi

The one where the guy gets killed and the other guy gets revenge and he buys a stopwatch that says to "Serve Man". Classic Starling.

A Stop at Willoughby. Its about a guy who is worn out from being bitched at by wife and boss and wants to go back to a simple life. I can relate.

The Obsolete Man.

Yup - my fave too.

>>> "Willoughby! Next stop is Willoughby!"

The Howling Man - A strange band of monks claims to have Lucifer locked in a cell. A passing traveler wonders if they're all nuts.


Time Enough at Last - A bank clerk seems to have his wish granted that he could spend all his time reading books.


Escape Clause - A deal with the devil to live forever unexpectedly backfires.


The Lonely - A prisoner sentenced to solitary confinement on a distant planet is given a female robot to keep him company.

No doubt...the best. You are a good boy Anthony.

The other one is the guy that loves to read and breaks his glasses. And "Serving Man"......was awesome. It is hard to pick there are so many good ones.

The one that had Andy Devine play a "bullshitter", who got called on it at the end when nobody would believe the Martians abducted him. I think his name was Brisby.

It's really good that you liked this one. Really good.

I liked The Shelter and An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge (kinda artsy-fartsy, though). Netflix has streaming episodes of Twilight Zone.

My trouble is I don't remember which episodes were Twilight Zones, The Outer Limits, or Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

---------------------------------------------------
W.W.S.D. what would Scooby Doo

the one where burgess meredith wants to do nothing but read books. the world gets destroyed, he survives and finds a library and then breaks his glasses. pretty awesome. also the one where william shattner and his girl stop in the small town and start listening to the devil game. some of the best tv ever!!!

Turn around.

13 4826 0948 82695 25847. Yes.

It's 2 AM.



Love how they try to imitate ZZ Top.

The episode where one man bet a bunch of money against another one who said that he could go 1 year without talking. in the end the money guy lost the bet, but had to come clean that he was broke and didn't have it. The non talking guy revealed that he had cheated and had his vocal cords cut. So he got really fucked.

might be a link you can use to watch quite a few of the shows (not all of them, but a lot).

No one mentioned "Nightmare at 20,000 feet", where the guy sees a gremlin on the wing on the plane and no one believes him. They think he's a crank.

That guy was William Shatner, IIRC. And in the movie they remade the story with John Lithgow.

When the Twilight Zone the movie was being made Vic Morrow was killed when a helicopter crashed on top of him

+1 Alias

The one with the woman having the bandages removed after the operation is classic.
Truly bizarre.

This one I always liked too-

The helicopter pilot lost control and the copter came down near Morrow who was holding a child for a scene. The main rotor blade decapitated Morrow and the child very neatly. Morrow and the child died very quickly.

maybe it was payback for all the Germans he killed on Combat

I know, though they don't show all the episodes, I can think of a half dozen not shown. My favorite was the Lee Marvin one where he dies of a heart attack on the grave. All three characters in that one Marvin, Van Cliff and Strother Martin were in the "Man who shot Liberty Valiance" a good John Wayne flick.

There are so many excellent episodes: Space, Westerns, Gangsters, Mid-America...

My favorite "feel good" episodes:

"The Night of the Meek" - The recently fired dept-store Santa, Art Carney, finds a bag that allows him to give presents to all in the neighborhood. He wishes he could do it every year...

"One for the Angels" - Ed Wynn, beloved by the children, as a sidewalk pitchman who stalls Death until he can make an incredible pitch, "One for the Angels" (which he is determined will NEVER come), then a little girl is struck by a car...

"The Hunt" - After dying during a coon hunt, Arthur Hunnicutt, barely escapes going in the wrong gate, saved by his dog "Old Blue".

And most of the Burgess Meridith episodes are excellent:

"Time Enough at Last" - The bookworm who escapes Doomsday, then discovers the mostly destroyed library. He is set for Years...

"The Obsolete Man" - A librarian (oddly enough) judged "obsolete" by the state faces death, and has a particular final request...

"Devil's Printer" - The crooked little man with a crooked little stick and a crooked little cigar runs the printer at a newspaper about to go under...

That's enough for "A" favorite episode. It's nearly impossible to choose just ONE episode, which is odd since TZ only ran for 5 seasons.

Rod Serling's mind was WAY outside "The Box".

Never saw this episode before

SciFi used to be great in its early days when they showed Lost in Space every day and Outer Limits episodes
