Not every episode is a winner. Seems like every time I run into the marathon, I encounter that irritatingly dopey “Mr. Dingle, the Strong” episode. But of course, back then, network series were required to grind out 39 episodes a season, so there would always be a few seriously lame ones, even if the best of series. So I’m fairly forgiving.
Another series of the day, “Thriller,” hosted by Boris Karloff, had a whole slew of extremely bland episodes... but there are about ten extremely good and intensely spooky episodes that everyone remembers.

“Outer Limits” was the same.

Wow, it's been years since I saw TZ episode that I had never seen before. I read your comment earlier today and didn't recognize it. Just stumbled on it a few mins ago and confirmed that it was a new episode for me. You're correct. What a silly episode. Pretty embarrassing actually.
And coincidentally, there was another question about the use of kinetoscope in filming a handful of episodes. The one I remembered was the next episode on SyFy Channel, the one with the guy in a retirement home with a radio that takes him back to the 30s and 40s. The title is "Static", and one of my favorites.

Commercials last so long, I forget what I'm watching. That or they aren't written well enough to keep my attention. Hundreds of channels but nothing worth watching. Our cable company has been switching around the channels and deleting the ones we watch, like TVLand (old shows) and Velocity (cars). Of course, they say our bill will be higher this month as if they didn't already raise it 3 months ago.
