Twilight Zone Marathon

[Blaylock]

Anyone watch the TZ Marathon today and tomorrow?
Any favorites?

Some of mine:

"Eye of the Beholder"...A woman undergoes surgery on her face in order to look like everybody else.

"Invasion"...A woman living in isolation is terrorized by space aliens.

"To Serve Man"...An alien race arrives on earth with a promise to help solve mankind's problems.

"Nightmare at 20,000 Feet"...A man recovering from a nervous breakdown sees a creature on the wing of the airplane he's on.

"Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up."...A group of bus travelers find that there is an extra person when they stop at a diner.

You already mentioned most of my favorites, but missed one...
Burgess Meredith is a banker who loves to read. He's in the bank vault when a nuke detonates and is the last man on earth. He's in heaven when he finds the library is intact, but he breaks his THICK glasses and heaven turns to a living hell for him.

I have always liked this one:

"A Penny for Your Thoughts" A man gains the ability to read minds when a coin he flips stands on its edge.

Anything with Charles William "Billy" Mumy, Jr in it.

It's a Good Life

"…little Anthony Fremont, age 6, who lives in a village called Peaksville in a place that used to be Ohio. And if by some strange chance you should run across him, you had best think only good thoughts. Anything less than that is handled at your own risk, because if you do meet Anthony you can be sure of one thing: you have entered the Twilight Zone."

I have always been a bit perplexed that this forum does not allow image links, that in itself is enough to take one into the TZ.

I'm watching it now simultaneously with clubstogie, youtube and Hulu.com......It's true I have no life...

i think rod serling could describe how to take a dump and youd listen on that list with vincent price with knowing who they are by just hearing mike

Many enjoyable episodes noted. One of my favs, don't know the show name, in a club of some sorts, a fella talks all the time, and someone bets him to shut up for a year, he takes the bet because he's nearly broke. Ends up having his tongue removed, only to find out the other guy is broke too!

"The Silence" is a great episode. Other favorites: "The Dummy", "In Praise of Pip", "The Jeopardy Room", "Nick of Time", "I Shot an Arrow Into the Air"

I love these types of shows and stories. Other great series include "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Hitchcock_Presents and "The Hitchhiker" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker_(TV_series))

[Rmac58]

Yeah, Hitch had some good episodes, I like his movies better tho. Anyone remember Circle Of Fear?

IIRC, it was a one hour series of similar type stories, not Hitch or Serling.
