Little dweebish Burgess Meredith, all alone with his precious books. No one else left on earth.

Terror at 26,000 feet.
Oh man, I remember being a kid and seeing that episode at my great-grandparents house late at night. I was scared to look outside a window for like a week, thinking I would see that monster staring back at me!

I like the one where the guy makes a deal with the devil to live forever, then gets busted on a life sentence.
Also the one where Roddy Macdowell is an astronaut and stays on the alien planet, only to find he's locked into the house they made him as a zoo exhibit.
And the one where the neighbors all go crazy cuz the one guy has a bomb shelter.
There are so many. Rod Serling was THE MAN!

Was that the John Lithgow segment? If it is, that’s a classic.

The episode where a kid enters another dimension from falling out of bed and rolling under. Dad had to rescue him and just in time finds another “door” in the house to come back through. I was just a kid and it scared me!

I liked the episode, can't remember the name though, where a mysterious stranger approaches an aspiring leader and offers to help him gain power. Well the mysterious stranger is very effective, but the guy he is helping is feeling more and more uncomfortable because he is being asked to do some illegal and immoral things to gain power. In the end it turns out the mysterious stranger was Hitler or maybe Hitler ghost or just a figment of the guy imagination, It was never really clear. But it was a good episode!

I like the episode where the rocket crashes on an alien planet from earth. One man kills others to have more water for himself. Minutes later he discovers he landed in US desert.

"Time Enough At Last."
Burgess Meredith is a meek bookworm working in a bank. All he wants is time to read and be alone. One day, while reading in the vault during lunch, a nuclear attack occurs. He stumbles out in shock only to find himself at the library. Finally, he has all the time in the world to read.
Then he trips, and shatters his glasses.
