OK folks, coming up is the Twilight Zone marathon!
What episodes will you be looking for?

I always like "He's Alive", "Eye of the Beholder", "The Obsolete Man", and "The Invaders".

I actually like all of them, but those are favorites.

Et tu, DU??

1. He's Alive?
Which one is that? I thought I'd seen them all. Twice.

4. That's the one where a very young Dennis Hopper was a Nazi like
character, who believed he was channeling the ghost of Hitler. Pretty good episode.

13. On post 5, I linked to the schedule. I saw it on one of the day's schedules.
Dennis Hopper was a very young blond-headed kid. Kinda looked like Rolf in The Sound of Music...LOL.

2. "To Serve Man" and "It's a Good Life".
Oh, and that one with Charleton Heston, where he sees the Statue of Liberty and says, "You maniacs! You blew it up!" at the end. :D

Soylent Green is in the cookbook! It's a cookbook for people!

Edited on Wed Dec-30-09 10:08 PM by phasma ex machina
Rod Serling, yet another liberal "may not like what you say but will fight to the death for your right to say it" WWII vet that I took for granted.

8. Don't know the episode name but it is the one with the bank
employee that likes to read and he ends up being the last person alive. He finds the library and then breaks his glasses.

9. Time Enough At Last - Burgess Merrideth (sp?)
I also liked "Terror at 20,000 Feet" with Willian Shatner and "Living Doll" with Telly Savalas.

10. I can't watch this episode
Watching Burgess Meredith lose at the end has me blubbering every time.

11. I don't know the names either but two of my favorites are the
guy who loves to read and is the last person alive and then his glasses break. Another one of my favorites is the one with Billy Mummy who has evil powers. There are so many I love but those two come to mind first.

19. One of American pop culture's greatest gifts to the world.
They'll be watching TZ and the Outer Limits a 100 years from now.

17. The one on right now, "No. 12 Looks Just Like You:
I swear Mike Myers got his inspiration for Dr Evil's pinky finger through a character in this episode.

20. Thanks for the heads-up!
I'll be sure to watch.

And . . . there's so many episodes I like, it's difficult to list. Even after all these years, and watching as an adult, some of the episodes still give me chills.
