The Twilight Zone

[Grandais]

I've never actually seen it, but know several of the plot twists from the Simpsons (and TVTropes), and saw part of the movie. It seems like a great idea for a show, although I've never actually watched it.

[Anthony Freemont]

"To Serve Man" is one of the best. Anyone remember what the one were the spaceship crash lands and one of the astronauts goes insane and kills the others only to find out they were right next to the road to Death Valley was called?

Glenn Beck made reference to it once, and I've seen tid-bits--but I've sadly never managed to see the entire episode--but I've been able to piece it together.

Wait...Glenn Beck watches(ed) The Twilight Zone?

...Maybe he's not so bad after all...

The Twilight Zone is epically epic in it's forms of epicness. There's just no other way to describe it. It's appeared all over culture, from the Simpsons to Madagascar ("IT'S A COOKBOOK! A COOKBOOK!"). The Twilight Zone is a cultural icon. If something is strange, bizarre, or odd, we say it's from the Twilight Zone. There are several points in time where I find myself thinking Hey, this happened in a Twilight Zone episode once.

[Alexlantis]

My God

Yes?

complete and total EPICNESS.

Why, yes. Yes it is.

YES.

Nothing beats the Obsolete Man, even down to the wordplay of the the last name of Wordsworth

The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete, but so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of man, that state is obsolete. A case to be filed under "M" for mankind in the Twilight Zone

I liked that one.

I also liked "The Lonely," "Mirrior Image," and "The Shelter."

My favorite is "The Invaders," but I think that's just for the first time I saw it. If you haven't seen it, you really should, but don't read any synopsis of it; it could ruin it.

[Mutant Lobster People]

what was the name of the one where a guy is sick or injured and he goes to this place with a bunch of old men with really cool beards

and they say satan is behind the door then he lets him out and catches him again?

The dude is a living episode of it.

I love The Twilight Zone; but I personally liked Outer Limits a little more.

[Cannot think of a name]

I'm not good with names, but the one where there is going to be a hanging and the sun won't come up, and it keeps getting darker. They ask the man who is about to be hung to be sorry, but he isn't.

That one was pretty awesome. I probably could think of dozens. The one where Buster Keaton travels forward in time, also awesome.

I like the Twilight Zome, even though I've only watched a few of the episodes. The stupid Scifi channel only shows it at the most inconvenient morning hours (somewhere between 3 and 6 am), but I did catch a few marathons. The episodes I remember are:

-The one where it gets hotter as the earth moves closer to the sun. Just watching those two women trying to cope with the ever increasing temperatures (it was only midnight on the show, yet it was still as hot as a summer's afternoon, I think). *spoilers* in the end, it turns out that it was all just a dream and the earth was really moving AWAY from the sun *end spoilers*

-The one where the old guy is dying and everyone else has to wear grotesque masks in order to get any inheritence. I won't ruin the ending for you. All I'll tell you is that you probably won't see it coming, it makes sense despite being bizarre, and it's awesome.

-The one where the men land on a planet after discovering a crashed spaceship on the surface. They eventually go insane once they discover that the spaceship looks a little too familiar. *spoilers* It turns out that they're basically the flying dutchmen of space, forced to relive the same events over and over again for all eternity.

-The Maple Street one. How could a bunch of paranoid nutjobs be so close to the truth, yet so very far from it?

-The one with the two soldiers from opposing sides, a man and woman, are in an abandoned city.

-The one with the woman who underwent plastic surgery in order to look normal enough to go out in public. I won't spoil the ending, but I will tell you that there's a reason why they don't show anyone's face until the very end.

That show was just so awesome. If it was shown nowadays, it would get bad ratings and be cancelled quickly because it's not stupid enough for today's picky viewer.

The Howling Man.

At the end the guy's housekeeper is about to let Satan out again...which is why you should not keep Satan in your apartment. Plus, he's not housebroken.

[Tangomania]

To Serve Man!
But all were great!

[WWII History Geeks]

I just watched a couple of really good episodes of it last night...one about a peddler, the other about...hmmm...a heat wave I think?

[Tangomania]

The best one I remember had Sabastion Cabot saying " Heaven what makes you think you're in Heaven? About a ganster who dies and thinks he has gone to heaven not.........hell!

[Coccygia]

One of my favorites was "Nervous Man in a Four Dollar Room." The episode is mostly just a guy arguing with his reflection in the mirror. The guy is in hock to a cheap hood who wants him to kill somebody and the reflection is talking him out of it. It's just a half-hour of good acting by a single actor.

[Connahkstan]

I really enjoyed "Twenty Two" Because I like the

part where her plane home blew up but she wasn't on it because of her nightmare

.

[Ozzy]

Its about freaking time Twilight Zone had its own discussion thread.

'Obsolete Man' and 'I am the Night, color me black' is one of the best episodes I ever seen.

[Coccygia]

I saw "It's A Good Life" recently, and Billy Mumy is just as scary as ever.
