I have many of these on DVD and I can tell you some you can watch over and over,others not so much. some of my favorites are 100 yards over the rim,Time enough at last, Frisbee,Last Flight,Man in the bottle...many of the endings are somewhat disappointing(like why couldnt the guy just find some more glasses,or Walter Bedecker lives forever but gets life in prison,why not escape he's indestructible?) but the acting and stories are great!
1. Nightmare @ 20,000 ft (Shatner: Paranoia runs deep)
2. Walking Distance (You can't go home again: Bernard Hermann score)
3. Living Doll (I'm Talky Tina...and I'm going to kill you)
4. Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up (Ain't nobody exonerated yet)
5. Nick of Time (Make your own Destiny)
Qualification: I've removed great '1st viewing' episodes (serve man, 5 characters, eye of beholder, etc), because aside from the punchline, they're rather boring.
It is hard to pick the top 5 (especially number 5). A top easy would be easier...then again, there is a number #11 that we might like. If I had to choose a number 6 for this list, it might be 'The Obsolete Man'
I'm NOT an Athiest & I don't Hate gays but if they want to lose 20 years off their life after damging thier colons, then all I can do is pray for them. If they ask for my approval then I'll be honest and tell them why. I have no desire to argue about it because I'm right. Enjoy youtube....
@lookformeontv because this atheist thinks that if you take it up the anus with another man's penis, you have motherfucking ISSUES...THAT'S why it's 'a bad thing'. any questions?!?
i've only seen 3 of those episodes. and those 3 are awesome. nightmare at 20,000 feet was awesome (william shatner. oh yeah). the eye of the beholder was great to. and so was how to serve man. but i mean heck, i like the twilight zone alot. i need to start watching that box set again.
Still trying to find the episode (it's not TZ) wherein a 12 or 13 year old boy is chronilogically 35 yro but still looks 12 or 13. "Walking Distance" + "Kick The Can" barely touch on it and are two v/g eps but they are not the real McCoy.
Would that you are right, light, but one thinks not. Oddly enough, the opening scene takes place at a "playground" where 3 guys in their 30s, in town for a reunion, see the kid they knew in the old days. Can't remember anything past that.
One of my very favourite episodes was "The Invaders", starring only, Agnes Moorehead. I did not sleep for weeks! I absolutely love this wonderful, scary show. Rod Serling was a true genius!
Nightmare at 20,000 feet, the first time I watched it made me look like this O_o lol. I was like, talking to the people in the movie saying, " Plz listen to him there is a grimlin on the wing of the plane!!" xD
"Time Enough at Last" and the tow about Willoughby and Jess Bell, respectively, are my favorites. Also, the Christmas episodes were always pretty boss; they had happy, tear-jerking endings.
Phattie ringa da' true re "Willoughby" and bookreader Burgess Meredith. Also, "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" starring the great Jack Weston rounds out the top 5 along with the 2 mentioned 6 days ago.
The most haunting episode might be "And when the sky was opened".. Damn , didn't know it was such a favorite on the TZ boards.. Watch it it's on here. But The Silence ending always makes me shit brix.
At least one hour-long episodes was listed as a favorite, On Thursday We Leave For Home - a classic.
The hour-long Zones don't get favorited much, being a mixed bag with some gems i.e. Miniature/Thirty Fathom Grave/Death Ship/Incredible World of Horace Ford.
BTW, fans of the Billy Mumy "Good Life" zone will enjoy "The Magic Shop" hour-long Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode, o.p. but not rare.
cinerama62 & ilovetodefygravity: "It's A Good Life" was your favorite (tv or movie version), check out "The Magic Shop" (Alfred Hitchcock Hour episode, 1964) & these Night Gallery eps: "The Dark Boy" (a schoolteacher is visited by the ghost of a 4th grader). "The Boy Who Predicted Earthquakes" (+ the end of the world) "Brenda" (girl gets monster to punish her enemies) "Silent Snow, Secret Snow" (boy lives in a private reality) "Little Girl Lost" (mind control gone wrong)
Def the best TZ coutdown. Finally somebody got number 1 right! I couldn't agree more, but I always liked the one about the swimming pool leading to Aunt Tea's too!
What was the name of the episode when a little boy on his birthday went to a diner, and an old schoolteacher saved him from being beaten up, and the boy created his own cartoon life with random people pretending to be is parents? Thats my fave episode! :D
Anyway, yeah! I really liked Eye of the Beholder alot.. But I think my favorites would havta be Stop Over in a Quiet Town and The After Hours. Somethin' 'bout the creepiness of silence and dolls..
We watched "Nightmare at 20,000 ft." in my Language Arts class. Everyone was cracking up because of the looks of the Goblin. Everyone kept saying it looked like a monkey. It was hilarious at the same time creepy.
oh my god, nightmare at 20000 feet scared me to death! twenty two, eye of the beholder, time enough at last, and the monsters are do on maple street are my favs, oh and stopover in a quiet town and that one about the greedy people and the masks!
Often considered the best T-Zone ever. Aliens land on Earth claiming their motives are altruistic and their aim is to bring peace and prosperity to mankind. One leaves behind a book with possible clues as to the veracity of such claims.
what's the episode where some man is imprisoned on another planet. he basically has his own house isolated on another planet. and the police go there and give him a robot wife?
I love your top 5 list. My two faves are "Will the Real Martian" and "5 Characters". Of course, there are so many brilliant episodes, it's tough to narrow them down to 5.
i always thought about that ep. wouldnt he be able to find another pair of galsseS? or ocnstruct a piar himself? or..forget about reading and find something else? lol...i guess he couldn't if he really was that big of a book reader
Out of these the one I like is 5 characters in search of an exit, for sure

Yes, learn Braille or find another pair of cheaters by groping around... he's got blurred vision but isn't totally blind by a long shot!
So... while without question one of thee classic episodes, there just wasn't enough time for Rod Serling to avoid every possible plot hole.
Burgess Meredith was also excellent as Satan in "The Printer's Devil", an hour-long Zone not rerun as often as the regular eps.
