The Twilight Zone - It's Still A Good Life Pt. 3/3

[lemondragon18]

how twisted would it be if "The Cornfield" was actually the real world and they were free but they had no way to tell the people this! its like the one thing they tried not to do for all these years was actually be sent free!!!

[DAZing23]

That bitch...

[margolispei]

creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeepy

[TheCorbett66]

i dont like it that everyone got sent to the cornfield i was hoping audry brought everyone out of the cornfield expect dave and george and anthony lived to and become nice but NO it had to be a sad ending

[626824]

@TheCorbett66 It is a happy ending she brings every thing and everyone back .

[Phillyguy30]

I think the writters should've let the little girl make Anthony "go away'' so then she could be the new monster to take over.

[DjBobbyInLosAngeles]

I would like Anthony if he made Ron Paul for president.

[DjBobbyInLosAngeles]

Good , but it was to short, and the ending was stupid. ....

[SoulReaperSlayer19]

Grandma: "Audrey do it now"

Audrey: "i cant hurt daddy" (banishes guy)

Grandma: "NOOOOOOOOO"

Audrey: (looks menacingly+ banishes grandma)

Anthony: (Tear) "I couldnt be more proud"....



[granpapi29]

This blows! WTF she HATED her dad with a passion and in 5 minutes she loves him again?!?!?1

Rod Serling is rolling over in his grave

[SoulReaperSlayer19]

@granpapi29 uhh hello shes a child, he could slap her in the face and push her downstairs and she would still love him.

I kinda liked the way it ended, you better also or else....

[Hu4iX1n]

HE DOES NOT DESERVE SUCH A HAPPY ENDING! ANTHONY IS A MONSTER AND SHOULD DIE

[TryNotToSmile]

I wonder what Rod Serling would have thought of this add on to his original.

I imagine his version would have been way more awesome, but really this one wasn't terrible. It wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible.

[jacktubey]

Interesting update.

Daddy makes the world disappear in '61.

40 years later his daughter brings them all back but updated for the new millennium. (notice the car and plane?)

[UnfinishedRiot]

@jacktubey I think that instead of making everything disappear, he just kinda 'blacked' it out. He removed Peaksville from the world, and when he sent things "to the cornfield" he would just be sending them back into the real word.

[UnfinishedRiot]

@UnfinishedRiot *world not word

[martincommrad]

@UnfinishedRiot I think that’s what happened too. I don’t think Anthony ever removed the world itself, but merely removed Peaksville from the world. This would imply that the cornfield is in one of two places: the world without Anthony (the real world) or an unknown pocket universe. So, in this sense, I guess this whole story isn’t a total tragedy. Although Anthony was a monster, he always seemed sorry after he did something bad. Maybe the cornfield was back on Earth.

[tall32guy]

Well at least she brought everything back and he was ok with it. LOL Except, presumably, all the "bad people" in the bowling alley that she had wished away earlier....

[fubleduck]

Whoever wrote this story b/4 I thought of it is a REAL BAD MAN!!!!!!!!!!

[colinmcom14]

the original was better

[YTRulesFromNM]

I think she brought back the African Americans.

[Malliahful]

THATS whas wrong with Peaksville! In those 46 years SOMEBODY should have had the guts to bash his skull against a wall, ANYBODY sacrifice themselves? Like in the original! That poor man who tried to distract 6 year old Anthony, and nobody did anything. That's honesty what they deserved! Stupids. -__-

[miroradev]

well they should have snapped his neck early then

[S45or1]

I'm not afraid. Eventually, these two will come across the TARDIS, and The Doctor will sort them out. :)

[WhiteStar11111]

Anthony and Audrey want you to have a good day.

Or else.

[schooled4ever]

Love the ending :)

[chasetrussel]

It sort of let's you know it's an official sequel. Not the best ending but at least more conclusive.

[chasetrussel]

Cloris leachman was great I.

[Mrpastry909]

Terrible ending. It was a pseudo-happy tacked on ending. The first one at least ended with the horror still fresh; this one just makes no sense.

[TheDarkEricDraven]

So, it pretty much had to be rape that produced Audrey, huh?

[lxnthnyvilla]

@TheDarkEricDraven I'd agree with that statement...it must have been really good too :x

[Coganboy]

@TheDarkEricDraven If not forcible rape, the girl he liked was pressured to just sleep with him in order to not make him angry.

[DidymusWillow]

ehh, it was the closing narration that killed it for me. I could stand the writing for the most part but they really could have tied it up better at the end...

Serling had more class is all.

[TrentSteeele]

This was entertaining, but I wish they had made it an hour long, so that they could do more with the story, which had incredible potential.

[GamingTranceSeer]

It all makes sense now! Earth is the cornfield!

[freakyclement]

the cornfield is going to be crowded

[14lanicup]

if anthony had learned that if he just needed to let people live their lives the people might actully like him

[Yasuda9000]

I think her dad is afraid of her. Now he knows how everybody else felt.

[Yasuda9000]

Now I know why that old lady looks familiar she played as the grandma in Malcolm in the Middle.

[SadieBeast]

@Yasuda9000 Same actors (Anthony and his mother) played in the original episode from The Twilight Zone.

Cloris Leachman played many, many roles over the decades.

[kyliebubblegum]

audey i feel so sry for her LOL

[realityme]

Audrey you lil piece of shit!!!

[toplinefool444]

Damn gingers...

[SUPERMEDIABROTHERS6]

well that was a pointless waist of time

[NorthStar20121]

Like father like daughter.

[starrbeatlesqueen]

Lol, she vanished everything to teach her father a lesson. :)

[sexycolombians]

oh they in trouble because spiderman defends new york and he hasn't lost yet!

[epicalina12]

You just realized the corn field is REAL LIFE

[anime4ever99]

This i just a thought....BUT WHY NOT KILL ANTHONY IN HIS SLEEP!

his mother said she hid her thoughts from him, all she had to do was wait until he was in bed and then cut his throut or shoot him in the head. I admit my plan might be flawed if it turns out he does not sleep.

[johnrock882]

Well .. fuck ..

[Glaruf]

I think the story had much more potential

1: they couldve expanded the idea of Anthony and his mother fighting each other (implicitly) to control Audrey.

2: At the ending Anthony is all alone with his daughter and he looks really creeped out. It was an interesting role reversal and it would've been interesting if that wouldve been the main story

Its pretty much the same story as the original except hes an adult and there is an unexpected, shitty positive ending

Too bad it's only 22 minutes

[Turtlistik]

weak sauce



[toplinefool444]

Damnit, I wanted anthony to die

[slimdudeDJC]

@toplinefool444 I really wanted him to visit the corn field. . . 

[lemondragon18]

@toplinefool444 we all did

[MIKZ562]

audrey ur a good girl :)

[poisoncupcake74]

@MIKZ562 :)

[Amorphustruth]

in answer to wildte comment- i don't think everything really disappeared, anthony just seperated the town from real life - so in their reality nothing else existed. So when she brought every thing back she just gave them access to the real world again. The whole town deserved it if you asked me, if you watch the original it is clear that they could have killed him then but they were a bunch of cowards.

[slimdudeDJC]

@Amorphustruth How could they kill him if he knew what they all were thinking? It would have to be something spontaneous and quick. That's near impossible to do without thinking about it first.

[WastedDaze78]

I have to say, this was pretty good... I mean it's not supposed to be the greatest thing ever... but they did alright with the story.. nowadays it would have been more predictable

[sunshine208100]

This is a real good episode. Real good.

[slimdudeDJC]

@sunshine208100 Yep, it sure was!!!!! ;0)

[unterkiefermann]

It's a good ending.

...

(this sounded weird)

No no, I mean it. As long as Audrey's alive, there'll always be hope for everythink to get back to normal.

Besides, I think in the Original Anthony was able to bring things back. He just didn't want to.

[slimdudeDJC]

@unterkiefermann Actually, this was the real Anthony. But he still couldn't bring anything back. 

[mokshalovely]

yeaahhhh stand up to her devil son

[KAZZTHECAT]

well she can still bring them back,....

[DiAbLiTaAa1988]

Very good story!!

when i see the original chapter

i love it but this is much better than that

The twilight zone it's the best!!!!!

[PikachuJackskeling94]

hes seeing him self at 3:09

[Jangwoofilms]

When Audrey made everyone disappear, her facial expressions made me laugh.

[truckerT]

I feel cheated

[Pianoman555]

never saw that coming, hehe... i thought she would be kind

[slimdudeDJC]

@Pianoman555 Me too!

[keybladeweilder99]

awww nice ending (:

[Spoon1561]

Great now there two of them for years I was scared of that creepy kid now I am scared of the two of them!

[skullbox]

lol u cracked me up

[BonazaiGirl]

"Audrey...what have you done?"

The same thing you've been doing for 40 years, but that's a real good thing anthony, A real good thing.

[Sheri451]

I thought this was a very good episode.

[Mrwilliams321]

ok mabye he banshied hunreds away to there doom never to be seen agin.mabye he pushed human civilization back a few hundred something years back. and mabye he did destroy 99.98% of he world and left one town. bu his mother dind have to talk to him like that.

[1Chris111]

LOL @ GreyMatter!

[Bookborn]

They'll wish the twin towers away I reckon.

Uh...er... I mean, it's a very good thing and all. Yeah. Uh. A real good thing & all.

[Pilanus]

@Bookborn maybe they'll wish em back, and we can declare anthony a national hero.

[LordOfYahoo]

he sent all the black people to the cotton fields

[cthulhu11111111]

@LordOfYahoo

lmao

[LordOfYahoo]

id like to see franklin richards vs anthony's daughter and btw who is the mother?

[rayalvarado2010]

Dumb ending.

[Oranoas]

Yay! That daughter of his brought me back from the cornfield! 8D

[jacilledb3]

way to go Anthony, YOU MADE ANOTHER YOU!!!! now he is able to see what he has been doing all these years! he should be thanking god that she can wish things back

[euro4569]

he is nothing a spoilt bastard in real life.

[redD4Dworld]

Now there are two monsters wandering the world! Great!

[Chikun382]

@redD4Dworld Maybe they'll visit Maple Street >:)

[redD4Dworld]

Evil wins again!

[GulperEEL]

so the cornfield Is the twilight zone ?

[happyyyycurly]

Freaks

[ThamesChase]

Wow -- how very.. "sudden", "unexpected", and "un-HintedAt".

Still, surprising plot twist was surprising.

[Zampan0]

What's up with the bowling alley? Everybody is always going there. What was grandma drinking out of that 'Mason Jar' at the bowling alley? People can easily say the wrong thing while drinking..

[Halick]

There is no lesson to be taught, there's no happy ending, not much of a story, not much explanation.

Yet in some magical way, this is pure awesomeness!

[cuteascandy2]

Is it just me or is Anthony's mother the same woman who played the old Romany woman in Drag Me to Hell?

[maysguy]

@cuteascandy2 she also looks like the grandmother from malcolm in the middle

[racookster]

@maysguy That's because she is the grandmother from Malcolm in the Middle.

[wontonbombz]

this motherfucking wannabe god can fucking die

[CarlosJoseMunez88]

@wontonbombz You can say that again. >:)

He makes the most insane, evil, psychopathic dictator/tyrant who ever lived look like a Saturday Morning cartoon villain.

[redD4Dworld]

@CarlosJoseMunez88 Yeah, that's how srewed up the writers and the producers of this series are!

[redD4Dworld]

@wontonbombz I agree!

[redD4Dworld]

@wontonbombz The conclusion of the episode is grating isn't it? Like right across your grey matter!

[wontonbombz]

@redD4Dworld it is, but this type of tyrannical evil is just disgusting

[redD4Dworld]

@wontonbombz Yeah, there needs to be some sort of check--or comeuppance to their power.

[bitchingood]

Sooo, I wonder what would happen if they pissed each other off?

[Shoes742]

@bitchingood Think of the family counseling!!

[TheHarmonyAngel]

@bitchingood simple, one of em goest to cornfield and may lose hes/her powers too

[bitchingood]

@TheHarmonyAngel Interesting....;-) simple enough lol

[romas1995]

there shoud be a good telepathic person who would put an end in this .

[lo0sedefense]

@SophiaIsWise Did you even watch the original episode? The only thing Anthony is interested in is controlling people. He doesn't want them to be honest, it's just an excuse to terrorize them.

[GreyMatter00Duh]

Thank you lord, she finally stood up to her son.

They won't be able to handle New York. New Yorkers are tough, they'll kill them before those two get to banish them.

Why? Because they're New Yorkers.

[Zampan0]

@GreyMatter00Duh said: "Why? Because they're New Yorkers"

lol. Anthony has his daughter to watch his back now. Are you deaf?...(wrong question) Bye bye New Yorker's.

[HarrisonDG]

@GreyMatter00Duh no, they wont...

[GreyMatter00Duh]

@HarrisonDG Clearly you've never been to New York.

[HarrisonDG]

@GreyMatter00Duh i live in brooklyn...-_-

[ilikecoding]

@GreyMatter00Duh guns will do the job

[2loveable4]

@GreyMatter00Duh lmao

[wildste]

Something that bugs me is if Anthony banished all technology during the 60's, no advancement has been made since then. So how can there be modern airplanes and modern cars when his daughter brings everything back?

[rneskire]

Perhaps their town only became isolated from the rest of the world?

[miss0miss]

@rneskire When Anthony was younger he wished away the world so it was the only place that existed

[BigDawgUmi]

lol true thats a good point

[humilisadvena]

Well I'm thinking that either the advancements that were made were simply a product of her own mind, or perhaps she has powers over time as well, and she was somehow able to create an alternate reality where Her father had never gotten rid of the rest of the world to begin with.

[martincommrad]

@wildste I've always wondered that, too.

[jopeon]

@wildste i quess because he took peaksville away from the world instead of destroying everything else... i dont know but who cares its still awesome like the original

[haranghy]

@wildste you think too much! they don't like that...be careful what u say, you can also finish at the cornfields :)))

[wildste]

@haranghy I am more afraid of "He Who Walks Behind the Rows", esp now that I am over the required age.

[HarrisonDG]

@wildste they never say it was during the 60s. how do you know he didnt send the cars away days prior to this?

[wildste]

@HarrisonDG It is a fairly safe bet that it was during the 60's as the original episode was made during the 60's (so would most likely would have been set in the present day at that point in time) and this episode was made in the 2000's (so again, set in the present day).

[JLovrak]

@wildste I get the impression that it wasn't so much that Anthony made everything outside of Peaksville disappear so much as it was that Peaksville was inaccessible from the outside world and vice versa by this time, sort of like it was in some kind of limbo, so the rest of the world continued on as usual outside of Peaksville.

[kkgemini86]

@JLovrak

EXACTLY. Anthony never got rid of the world; he separated the world from his town.

[YoshiTheBlue]

@wildste

I'm pretty sure he got rid of most of the world, THEN got rid of technology from what was left of it. No one ever said the world we know didn't continue to advance onwards...

[huevosteve]

@wildste Haha. They fucked it up.

[grungefreak10]

@wildste The way I figure, she restored the entire timeline that Anthony destroyed. I know it sounds a little far-fetched but if you can accept godlike powers such as his I say why the hell not?

[jacilledb3]

@wildste i guesss its just one of the things that they didnt think through

[icomefromearth01]

@wildste anthony's abilities were powerful but even he didn't fully understand them. my guess is that he never really made the world "go away" but instead shifted the town to another reality or cloaked it from the world like in that movie "the Shadow".

[lesselp]

@wildste Like psychic powers can`t include updates...duh

[heidishoshana]

@wildste it's sort of like an alternate universe... he didn't really send everything away, in reality, it just went somewhere else, to advance and grow and live and change. when everything "came back" it was just that universe coming back into their altered one.

[MIKZ562]

@heidishoshana dats not true where he sent em 2 was death or else it wouldnt be a punishment 4 not thinking good thoughts

[jmarvilus]

@wildste lol huge continuity flaw

[team10leader]

@wildste Well, Anthony was able to create things with his powers, not just make them dissappear. Remember when he made a 'two-headed gopher' before he commanded it to "be dead"?

Maybe Audrey has the imagination to create an advanced version of everything her Father sent to the cornfield.

[slimdudeDJC]

@team10leader Yeah, but why would she put a girl in a micro mini when the standard clothing for women is what they had been wearing all along? Granny dresses!!!! Where would she get an idea that caters to the sexual appetite?

[slimdudeDJC]

Looks like a major flaw in the writing. But Star Trek TOS suffered the same thing.

[14lanicup]

@wildste because the cornfield is real life so in real life advancement was made and when audrey brought it back she brought the advancements back with them

[Oscirus]

this was a good episode of the twilight zone. a very good lesson

[TheGreatWishyWoz]

Yes, Anthony (kinda) learned his lesson. It was a good lesson. A very good lesson.

[bitchingood]

@TheGreatWishyWoz --yes, very very good

[ChrisC11291980]

Liliana looks a lot like Bill did in the original. Particularly when Audrey starts to inherit Anthony's attitude when she has that same angry eye boggle he did in the first one.

[wildste]

Conisdering she is Bills real daughter, she would look like him and it is a nice homage to the original.

[kuitertist]

could have been better interesting though

[Deadman6990]

Chloris Leachman's performance was fantastic.

[NYCSlain]

I'm watching this after watching the original during the New Year's Day TZ marathon on SyFy. Loved it! Also awesome that Cloris Leachman reprises her role - even has the same hairdo, HA! Only thing - I feel the episode could've actually been longer. It just went so darn FAST!

[LightCammraSmile]

same!

[Shaetyn101]

me too...i watched the new year's marathon.....and this episode was so short

[Ironfruit]

Is their often marathons on sky?

Damn I would love to watch one.

[Nightman221k]

This was a really interesting revisitation of the original story. It was awesome that they got Bill Mumy to play Anthony again and his real life daughter as Audry was so perfect too. It was awesome. I actually love the scene where Audry turns on Mrs. Fremont, very unexpected but awesome.

[Omgsome1just]

i know your comment is kind of old but i agree with you. i also like how the daughter disappeared everyone and in the end brought everything (but the original peopl) back
