The Twilight Zone

Anyone else a fan of this legendary show? The classic Rod Serling era Twilight Zone only please  :P  I know it's way before my time but it has such a timeless feel to it.

Favorite Episode: Walking Distance

I like the episode with the little monster eating the airplane wing as the plane is in the air.  I always think of that when I fly...makes me laugh.
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

Nightmare at 200,000 feet - A classic. William Shatner's overacting is legendary.

 ;) Lullaby, loved the series when it was unfolding but have not yet revisited it. There was a lot of good horror/sc-fi on the tube when we were growing up in the 50s and 60sas well as replays of classic Hollywood films. I've got most of this on VHSs, which now have to be burnt onto CDs. Got caught in the changing technology of vinyl, tapes, and then CDs. Music library is now finally all CD, but cannot part with the records, for sentiment's sake. Serling certainly did provide a time-defying aura. Professor Melon

Love the ol' Twilight Zone's

I always thought that the original Star Treks were like an hour long Twilight Zone.

Loved it, watch the 24 hour marathon on scifi channel during holidays.  Best episode, Agnes Morehead as the old lady attached by little space guys who turn out to be us.  Classic stuff.

Wasn't she Endora (sp) on Bewitched? Also, wasn't she married to Kraven Morehead?  :*))

I really dig an episode called "The Monsters are due on Maple Street". The power goes out on a normal street in the midwest. A kid who reads sci-fi says there are aliens who can look like humans and are live on their street. Everybody gets freaked out and paranoid as lights and power in different houses go on and off. Everyone calls each other aliens and some folks start shooting each other an dall hell breaks loose.

At the end they pan to two aliens who are controlling the electricity and they talk abotu how by manipulating the power supply they can make people kill each other and our left with th eidea that this is how they will take over the Earth.

Just awsome...

I didn't think the UPN's 2nd revival was that bad... okay it was.

I watched a Twilight Zone marathon last year and liked nearly all of em. The ones that stood out were "The Long Morrow" and "You Drive"
