[Bender2]

Can only agree with three... of Starr's picks:

"A Game of Pool" Jonathan Winters playing it straight and nailing it!

"Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?" One of the best episodes ever chocked full of Jack Elam & other great character actors: Barney Phillips, John Archer & John Hoyt

and "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" Fear is greatest of what we think we know--

The rest of my favorites are as follows:

"The Old Man in the Cave" Very Early James Coburn & great character actor John Anderson

"Mr. Bevis" Orson, the OTHER Orson-- Orson Bean

"Cavender Is Coming" Early Carol Burnett & ace Character Jessee White!

"Mr. Denton on Doomsday" Dan Duryea, early Martin Landau & Doug McClure

"The Hunt" Anything with Arthur Hunnicutt is worth the look--

"The Last Rites of Jeff Myrtlebank" AND that goes double for anything with Sherry Jackson in it!

"King Nine Will Not Return" Robert Cummings in his natural element--

"Mr. Dingle, the Strong" The wonderful Burgess Meredith with two super character actors Douglas Spencer & Michael Fox as Martian #1 & #2

"The Odyssey of Flight 33" John Anderson again and another reason I don't like to fly--

"A Thing About Machines" One of my favorite character actors Richard Haydn battling machines. I often have the same problem--

"On Thursday We Leave for Home" Great twist ending with James Whitmore & Tim O'Connor in costume and spaceship from the classic 1950s Sci-Fi film Forbidden Planet

"Printer's Devil" Burgess Meredith again!

"Once Upon a Time" The immortal Buster Keaton! If that is not enough, toss in wonderful character actors Stanley Adams & Jesse White

"Time Enough at Last" Burgess Meredith in his best "Twilight Zone" performance--

"The Bard" Burt Reynolds doing Brando, what more can you ask for? Okay how's about excellent character actors Jack Weston, John Williams & John McGiver--

and all time best is "To Serve Man" The ultimate killer twist ending with Lloyd Bochner & a Pre-007 Jaws Richard Kiel!

Okay, y'all let fly, I have enough here... to pass the time--

I loved The Howling Man.

thanx

What about the episode where a man is given a watch that stops time? While emptying a bank vault, he drops and breaks the watch. Does the list include that episode?

[MCF]

How about “The Grave” it should certainly be in the top 10

[Paladin2]

#1 - 100 Yards Over the Rim

# 2 - The Obsolete Man

Loved the twist ending ones. I was just a kid and some of these really scared me. One that I remember had a girl in the hospital with her face bandaged up. At the end they took the bandages off and everyone gasped with fear. She was beautiful but all the others were grotesque.

One of my favorites is Nothing in the Dark...only because it starred a really handsome young Robert Redford as Mr. Death.

Now I look at Redford and go “EWWWWWWWWWW.”

All good, I like Mr. Garrity and the Graves, too.

[Intolerant in NJ]

“Time Enough At Last” gets my vote.....

[SharpRightTurn]

Nice work, Bender2!

[OKSooner]

Gee, thanks for the list with captioned pitchas.

IMO "To Serve Man" was second best. "The Hunt" (again, thanks for the pictures with captions; I didn't recall the title of that episode) was the best episode ever.

Actually it was the best episode of any regular TV program, ever, in my (our) opinion.

[Dr. Sivana]

“To Serve Man” has to be included. It is the Platonic ideal of a Twilight Zone episode. And yes, that’s despite serious plot holes. Great fables and myths are allowed to have plot holes. “To Serve Man ... it’s a cookbook!” Should be in Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations if it isn’t already.

However, your list omits “It’s a Good Life”. Cheesy special effects aside, it is a great story with an all time great child actor performance by Billy Mumy. You KNOW it is so good because we can see what happens when the whole story debunking the notion of children as innocent noble savages gets ruined in the movie version by Steven Spielberg.

The Invaders with the wonderful Agnes Moorehead was the best Twilight zone. Season 2, Episode 15

“When a woman investigates a clamor on the roof of her rural house, she discovers a small UFO and little aliens emerging from it. Or so it seems.”

[Eric Pode of Croydon]

Good picks, but I have to add “Eye of the Beholder”.

[gop4lyf]

I’ve always like The Twilight Zone. It is startling to see so many of the characters smoking on camera. I think that a reboot of the show could still do well.

[Political Junkie Too]

I'm partial to the episode "Nick of Time."

It was a great study in believing you control your own destiny, and to not be paralyzed by what others say or think.

[Mr. K]

I was going to say this one (but I think it was "Outer Limits"- another great show)

That one gave me nightmares for weeks as a kid

[plain talk]

I like your picks a lot. I also like this one
