I don't know if the following TZ episode list is 100% accurate, in terms of air dates, etc.
In any case, my top 3 favorites in the western category are:
The Grave, The 7th Is Made Up of Phantoms, and Mr. Garrity and the Graves. Other 'western' episodes are:
Mr. Denton on Doomsday, (The) Execution, Dust, A Hundred Yards Over the Rim, and Still Valley.
Of the 'Space' episodes, my top 3 are:
People Are Alike All Over, The Lonely, and The Little People. To Serve Man was a great one too, IMHO.
Other assorted favorites (in order of listed air dates) are:
Time Enough At Last, A Nice Place to Visit, A Stop at Willoughby, The Howling Man, The Night Of The Meek, The Odyssey Of Flight 33, The Rip Van Winkle Caper, The Obsolete Man, The Hunt, The Changing of the Guard, Nightmare at 20,000 Feet, and Living Doll (Talky Tina).
Burgess Meredith and his desire to have nothing but books in his life.
Yeah, it's apparently not on the list I posted. Not sure why.
Impossible to narrow it down to three, but I’ll give you my top one: “Little Girl Lost”. I remember seeing it back when it first came on TV and it scared me so bad I still can’t watch it without getting chills. Other episodes might be scarier to me now, but that’s the one that will always top my list.
Episode is "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?"
2. Don’t know the name, but the one with the old man and the dog who drown on a hunting trip, and take a road that leads to the hereafter.
Episode: "The Hunt"
3. The one with the woman in a house after the Civil War watching soldiers walking past her house in large numbers.
"The Passerby"
Nightmare at 20,000 ft was always a fave.
So many great episodes I can’t pick three that I would call “the best.” So many actors and actresses who went on to other accomplishments. This was the Golden Age of television. I can’t believe these were produced in the early 1960s. Shows that made you think; there is nothing like it today.
The one where the people of the US elect a Muslim as president and...
Oh.
Wait.
DITTO...that’s the one I can never forget.
Yes. That's the first one I thought of when I saw this thread. Burgess Meredith was excellent in that episode.
#1 is “Will The Real Martian Stand Up?” Love that one!
#3 is “The Passerby” with James Gregory and Joanna Linville.
I can’t remember the name of #2, but it’s a really great ep, too!
Good picks!
So many great episodes.
Damn shame what has happened to TV, music, cars, and a whole bunch of other things over the past several decades. One of the few things I care about today is the amazing technology. 5,000 songs in the palm of your hand! So much more convenient than records, 8-tracks, cassettes, and even CDs.
An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge. Season five, episode 22.
Noooo! Your harmonica is the death whistle of our people!
You can watch episodes of the TW free online at quite a few sites.
Everytime I see that photo it reminds me some freeper that superimpose Donald Trump face on the monkey ROFL ROFL
I can never make it through The Hunt with my eyes dry. The message that it gives is uplifting. That, and I can’t imagine a Heaven without my dog.
I’ll also go with The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street. The basic idea behind it seems just as relevant today.
And I’ll also pick Back There, where an engineer finds himself transported back to the night that Lincoln was assassinated.
But if you ask me tomorrow, I might come up with three completely different episodes. There are soooo many good ones, and I usually watch through the complete series once or twice per year. It holds-up incredibly well, and is better than 99% of the garbage that’s on TV these days.
To Serve Man
I have probably seen most if not all of them. The Twilight Zone was one of my favorite shows when it came out.
The ones I can remember are.
The Hitch Hiker.
Kick The Can
To Serve Man
Nightmare At 20,000 Feet.
Some of the others sound familiar.
1) The Obsolete Man
2) The Mask where a family were to put on a mask as midnight pass. Each mask represent their inner character. (Directed by Ida Lupino)
3) Don’t recall, but Ida Lupino played an overage starlet where she wishes to back to Hollywood yesteryear. Well she got her wish, she went back but what made it creepy was she went back into a film.
