Pete Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I love the Twilight Zone! A few favorites are the Shatner one, the Burgess Meredith one, the beauty one, how to serve man....

boyst Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 Be more specific, Burgess Meredith was in four episodes see below The Invaders The 7th is made up of Phantoms I enjoy the 7th is made of phantoms. perhaps you'd also enjoy the one "100 yards over the rim," as well. I love the Twilight Zone! A few favorites are the Shatner one, the Burgess Meredith one, the beauty one, how to serve man.... He was in Time Enough, At Last. Where he gets all the time in the world to read books but breaks his glasses. The Obsolete Man, a dark episode of a world without religion and such and is deemed obsolete so he gets to choose his own death tricking a man in to joining him and becoming obsolete. The Printers Devil, where he a newspaper jockey and makes a deal with the devil. Mr Dingle the strong man - where he gains massive strength from aliens.
dib Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I've seen 100 yards over the rim. Still like "The 7th" better, besides it has a tank in it.
Azalin Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 The Twilight Zone was still an active series when I was a little kid, and I have the whole series on DVD. My favorites are 'One For The Angels' (Ed Wynn as Mr Bookman, a street peddler that saves a little girl's life by distracting Death with his salesmanship skills) and 'The Changing Of The Guard' (Donald Pleasence as a teacher at a young men's preparatory school who is saved from suicide by the spirits of former students whom he had inspired to do right by sacrificing themselves in noble acts as adults). I love the entire series, and can cite nearly every single one of them, but those two in particular are favorites because of their poignancy.

Chef Jim Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 One of my favorite Netflix binges. I'll have to get back to you on my favorite. To serve man is really only good the first time. And the Shatner one on the plane is ho hum for me.
Gugny Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 It begins! Playing them in order this year, I do not remember them doing it last year. Burgess Meredith played great roles. Whats your favorite? I love the Burgess Meredith in which he's the bibliophile. I also like the one in which Buddy Ebsen is the gambling addict. So many great ones to choose from. What channel is Syfy on TWC?
Wacka Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 The series shows what a writer/ director/ producer Rod Serling was. He also wrote the teleplays for 7 Days in May and Requiem for a Heavyweight.

boyst Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 Cool, can you have Kim start DVRing it for me? should i send her a facebook msg?
Gugny Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 should i send her a facebook msg? I can't find you on Facebook!
gomper Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 How about the one where the little girl went under her bed and fell into the 5th dimension. That's a fun episode.
B-Man Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I think The Obsolete Man is the best ........................Rod really lets loose. After that I guess I would go with........"A Game of Pool" or "Death's-head Revisited" .
boyst Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 the episodes airing now were shot by videotape and transferred to 16mm. they look awful and have no depth. How about the one where the little girl went under her bed and fell into the 5th dimension. That's a fun episode. the sounds to that and the dog drove me nuts. I think The Obsolete Man is the best ........................Rod really lets loose. After that I guess I would go with........"A Game of Pool" or "Death's-head Revisited" . Game of pool, great moral. obsolete man is terrific. death's head is terrifying to think of the reality that some faced returning.
/dev/null Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Down here in Norfolk there's small peninsula called Willoughby Spit. Every time I drive by and see the sign, in the back of my mind I can hear that train conductor: Next stop Willougby...

Every time I drive by and see the sign, in the back of my mind I can hear that train conductor: Next stop Willougby... That's a good one too. "He just stepped right off the train...."
