Atomic Irony -- Two Minute Twilight Zone Project -- Season 1, Episode 8 -- Time Enough At Last

Burgess Meredith stars in this triple-tragedy, one of the most irony-laden stories in the Twilight Zone franchise (and that's saying a lot!).

Henry Bemis is an adamant reader of books, newspapers, and anything else he can get his hands on. However, his wife won't let him read at home, and his boss won't allow him to read at work. Mr. Bemis is a man who can not find any time at all in his life to devote to his love of books. But when true tragedy strikes, Mr. Bemis seems to have time enough at last.

The poor old guy wants to read books. Twilight Zone should atleast make one happy ending. :L

I feel like I've seen so many parodies of this, then I finally saw the actual Twilight Zone episode a few days ago on SyFy.
