kyle Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Anyone else in love with this show? What's your favorite episode? I'd say any starring Burgess Meredith, and although it's a pretty cliche answer, I think Time Enough At Last is one of the best. It just ends on such a downer. It's a classic for a reason. Anybody else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boizee Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Timeless...so many great episodes hold up until today. It's amazing how many shows like the Simpsons have "borrowed" from it. My favorites are: To Serve Man - such a great ending The Invaders - another great ending The After Hours - very well written Nightmare at 20,000 Feet - fucking Shatner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melvinscam Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 i like the on where the earth is getting closer and closer to the sun, but it's just a dream that lady is having cause she has a horrible fever and it's actually moving father away. the one where the guy cuts his vocal chords to win a bet, but the guy has no money to pay him. To Serve Man = Fucking Classic. Where the dudes steal the gold and then freeze themselves until hundreds of years into the future and then BAM! gold is worthless. The one with superstious Shatner and the little machine that can tell the future and they almost get stuck in that little town. i fucking love the twlight zone . the sci fi channel marathons are the best!

illusionofchris Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Thank you for starting this thread, i adore the Twilight Zone. My favorite episode is probably "the obsolete man", it is genious. But there are sooo many good ones its really hard to choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronniethebear Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I haven't seen it in forever, but I'm about to add it to my Netflix queue right fucking now. Great thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 All episodes mentioned are classics. Such a great show and I have no friends to talk about the Twilight Zone with. They are either only casual fans who catch an episode here and there and if it's late and nothing else is on and therefore have nothing to say about it or they think I'm a total dork for watching the show.

illusionofchris Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I always call in sick when Sci-Fi runs their all day marathons. I've seen them all a hundred times and continue watching them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I am not a hardcore fan but have always enjoyed watching it. Especially when Sci-fi Channel does their yearly all-day marathon of episodes. It's amazing how something created so long ago, still has an impact nowadays. That's a true classic right there. Just the other night I caught one w/ a very young Dennis Hopper. Only watched about 10 minutes of it and I don't know what the episode title was.

cadetapplesauce Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 my mom's favorite is The Hitchhiker. i don't know what my favorite one is, cuz i haven't seen many. but if i had to choose one, i'd say it's Eye of the Beholder. now that shit is just freeeeaky.

To my knowledge only episode that starred Dennis Hopper was "He's Alive" where he played a neo-Nazi trying to gain power in his town. Is that the one you saw?

william Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 oh and theres an episode not to many people caught called "an occurrence on wolf creek." really trippy. is there an episode called an occurrence on wolf creek, or are you talking about an occurrence on owl creek bridge? That was a french short film from 1962 that a producer of the twilight zone bought the rights to air in the US for a few times. It's not in syndication.

I mean, you can pretty much see how that one is going to end, but sheesh, so good. i always play a game during the marathons to see if i can guess the ending before it's obvious. that's one of the only ones i got. yo, shitty twilight episode: the one with an old lady that live by herself and some little fucking alien comes to her shitty home and starts shooting her heart with a lazer. worst episode ever seen.

markalark17 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I definitely just went through an entire week on my DVR and set up all the Twilight Zone episodes I thought would be interesting, including a lot that were mentioned here. The episodes I've seen have really kind of freaked me out. Some of them weren't even that scary, they just make me nervous. I liked the one where the lady is in the train station, and her "double" is there from another dimension and is trying to kill her any everything.

melvinscam Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 awesome , the one where the dudes steal the gold is on tonight! it's called "the rip van winkle caper". another one thats awesome is the one where the dude has the watch that stops time.

kyle Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 .yo, shitty twilight episode: the one with an old lady that live by herself and some little fucking alien comes to her shitty home and starts shooting her heart with a lazer. worst episode ever seen. You're talking about The Invaders and the old lady is Agnes Moorehead. That one is a classic! Yeah, it's a little cheesy, but the fact that it can be so awesome without any dialog is great. Did you catch the ending? If you missed it, I could see how that would ruin it for you. It's the only episode acted out almost entirely in pantomime.
