The Time Element 3/6

[greg55666]

The scene in the Editor's Office starting at about 8:00 makes no sense at all--how does he suddenly forget it's 1941? Why would he be confused that they don't know about Eisenhower? That was TERRIBLE writing!

[3355lia]

AWESOME!!! He referenced The Los Angeles DODGERS!!! :D .....I LOVE The Twilight Zone & The Dodgers!!! =)

[MrBrendanRizzo]

Doesn't he know that he's in 1941 by this point? Why is he mentioning so many anachronisms? Is he trying to make them think he's crazy or something?

[TheJetfighter666]

The best t.v. show of all time. Not just the crazy stuff either. the show contains many heart warming moments also. I've seen each episode at least 100 times since 1962.

BUY BONDS!!!!! Awesome

Funny thing is a story did appear in the Honolulu paper before Pearl Harbor that reads "japs might attack over weekend.' I the truth isn't looked upon kindly in the comment section of youtube so I'll say no more about the attack.

[onemooners]

thats william bendix , Life of Riley, Babe Ruth Story

[totlmstr]

Forget the History lesson; use this episode as it!

[nahar6520]

What the hell is Spatnick.

[RightNow14]

Never laughed so hard in a while...good episode.

[cinerama62]

The guy "taking it all down" at 2:56 is now in a cornfield. He was a bad man, a very bad man! Classic Rod Sterling. Thanks for posting this mekrain.

[surgewakefield]

[HellhammerSS]

Dont fuck with a new yorker

[boxart30]

Not Dobie, Dwayne Hickman, it's his older brother Darryl.

[melora72]

@boxart30

Dwayne played the fake preacher in Cat Ballou. The uncle.

[bogart99]

first jenson accepts that he is in the past and starts laying bets then when he gets to the news paper office and no one belives him he forgets its not 1958 thats where it falls to pices for me bad writhing.

[jonquil4000]

@bogart99 Ok you come up with something better. And when it is shown on television, you let me know ok?.

[CarmellaLuciano]

omg is that Dobie Gillis??????/

[profitleads]

yep

[oprep3]

The actual headline on the Honolulu

Advertiser on November 30, 1941

was "JAPANESE MAY STRIKE OVER WEEKEND! NATION READY FOR BATTLE"

That is a pretty specific warning if I ever saw one. But surprisingly it has never appeared in any of the Pearl Harbor books or movies.

[Flailwielder]

You can just see how this guy suffers when no one believes him

[verbusen]

This is good, I hope he doesnt meet Jon Claude Van Damn though as he's a time cop!

[IcedEarth13]

buy bonds! haha

[oprep3]

Oddly enough the Honolulu Advertiser newspaper actually did print a front page headline warning of an imminent air attack by Japan on Hawaii on November 30, 1941 one week before it happened.

All but two copies of this paper were later destroyed.

[Kramiour]

Probably the inspiration for the story.

[111imstupid111]

Yeah the government knew and someone leaked it to the press that japanese messages had been intercepted about the attack but they let the people die so they had an excuse to go balls out in the war

[Jackalman99]

This guys going to have the same trouble Van Dyke did with The Skeleton In Uncle Sam's Closet.

[MasterOhSo]

Love the scripting in this...they truely don't do writing like this anymore. I shall look up the TZ torrent...thanks for the heads up....question though, how many Gigs did it cost you to download the series? Happy Holidays good brother.

[mekrain]

[dstebbin]

[kaplanyorks]

The first man-made satellite to orbit the Earth - it was launched in 1957 by the Soviet Union.

[zoltai9]

Oh man, why isn't tv this good today? That's why I don't watch tv any longer, and haven't for many years (which is a good thing).

[Prince7580]
