“To Serve Man” was an all time classic Twilight Zone episode.

I remember when he died in 1975. I was born and raised in Rochester, NY, and still married at the time. I believe he passed away at Strong Memorial Hospital. My then in-laws lived right down the street from the hospital, and we were visiting them when he passed.
I liked ‘Night of the Meek’, with the drunken Santa Claus.
Also ‘Little Girl Lost’ - girl got lost in another dimension in her bedroom.
And ‘Obsolete’ - about the librarian who wasn’t afraid to be killed for what he believed in.
There were so many wonderful ones, it’s hard to choose. (For years, we watched the annual Christmas Week marathon on Sci Fi; but I’m going to have to buy them all.)
Thanks for sharing.
We lost him far too soon. He would have done even greater things if he had lived.
What you did was real good Anthony. Real good.
One of my very favorites is “Time Enough at Last”. The bank clerk (Burgess Meredith) who wants nothing more than to be left alone so he could read all he wanted.
Yep...The Twilight Zone was one of our favorite shows when we were kids. I was born in ‘47, so was 12 when it first aired.
He was a very good liberal. A truly talented all round great guy.
I saw that particular interview long ago.
Mike Wallace was full of it, but Rod handled him very well.
Chilling ending.

I like that one, too.
Perhaps my favorite TZ episode was “Two”, starring Charles Bronson and Elizabeth Montgomery.
