Favorite Twilight Zone Episodes?

r_burgos2003 · 07-04-2003, 03:53 PM

Well, since they are on SCI-FI and I never miss at least a handfull of episodes when the marathon is on, I was wondering: What's your favorite episodes? Mine are:

1) TIME ENOUGH AT LAST-bookworm survives a bomb, killing everything. He's happy because he has enough time to read all the books in the world but

Spoiler:

he leans over and his glasses break, so he can't read for the rest of his life.

2) THE BEWITCHIN' POOL-a family is torn apart and on the verge of divorce. The kids jump into their seemingly normal swimming pool and come up in the olden days. There are kids there and they

Spoiler:

stay there forever with everyone. But they love the stay

3) THE HOWLING MAN-a man hears a howling person coming from a room in a place he's staying. The man let's the person out only to find out that the person really is

Spoiler:

the devil

4) A KIND OF STOPWATCH-a man recives a watch that stops time but not him. He can do anything and not get caught. The greedy man goes to a bank with the watch, freezes time and brings out a huge crate of money. Just as he's about to be happy with himself,

Spoiler:

he drops the watch and breaks it. Making time stand still. Forever

No, don't have it. I looked for some guides but there weren't any good ones that gave me in-depth reviews of each episode.

Shannafey · 07-07-2003, 03:10 AM

There's a community named Willoughby across the street from me, and I can't help thinking of the episode everytime I pass it.

I loved the A Kind of Stopwatch episode. Been years since I've seen it but it easily stands out to me as one of the most memorable. Man, the evil things I'd do with such a watch......

RyanPC · 07-08-2003, 03:35 AM

I don't remember the name of the episode, but it's the one with the girl in the hospital and everyone has the pig faces.

betterdan · 07-08-2003, 05:02 AM

That one is Eye of the Beholder, Ryan.

man I love the original twilight zones.Maybe it's just me but I found them kinda educational.Some of them made me really think,There was one episode where when this girl turned 16 she had to pick a body to be transformed into.She had a few models to choose from,but she didnt want any of them.She wanted to be herself.But everyone told her she would be ugly and wouldnt look like everyone else and fit in.Kinda reminds me of plastic surgery and the emphasis to be good looking and conform nowadays.Whats the name of this one?
There were a lot of good ones as stated above.Maybe I should break down and buy all the boxsets.Twilight zone was before it's time.

Luna · 07-08-2003, 07:50 AM

Damn, this is a tough one. I love them ALL. You might notice my new quote is from "Number Twelve Looks Just Like You" - one of my all time favorites!

My other favorites are:

Perchance to Dream
To Serve Man
The Fever
The After Hours
The Midnight Sun
Little Girl Lost
The Jeopardy Room
A Stop at Willoughby
The Bewitchin' Pool (though I'm not sure dubbing June Foray's voice as the little girl was the best choice, it's still a distinct favorite)
Long Distance Call
The Lonely
Time Enough At Last
The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street

There are plenty of others, but damn, I can't list 'em all.

It's the one I quote in my sig, quite possibly my favorite of all, "Number Twelve Looks Just Like You".

Amen. And I would argue that The (original) Twilight Zone is still miles ahead of most of the genre competition on television today.

One of my favorites, which nobody has listed yet, is "The Hunt" (a man and his faithful hunting dog are accidently killed while on a hunt....and they don't know it).......I'm an animal lover and I love the message it sends.....

Spoiler:

Gatekeeper: "You see, Mr. Simpson, a man...well, he'll walk right into Hell with both eyes open. But even the Devil can't fool a dog!"

Hell yeah. Anyone see the new NEW Twilight Zone on UPN currently?

"The Hunt" is a great one I'd forgotten about. Good choice!
