New Year's Tradition: Twilight Zone Marathon

[wayne foundation 07]

Been watcing it all day long,"Nick of time"is a favorite.Only a penny to ask the Mystic Seer a question.I guess by now it would cost almost a dollar."Oh Mystic Seer,is there a Batmoblie sticker in my future?"

[The Toyroom]

^ Oh, wait...I meant Boomerang.....Nevermind.

[The Toyroom]

^ Huh?! CN hasn't showed Looney Tunes in quite a while....what made them change their minds?

[jwyblejr]

I've been more busy with the Looney Tunes marathon on Cartoon Network.

[The Toyroom]

^ "An Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge"....I think I've seen it only once....bleeech

[Mikey]

The worst one was that Frenchie "art" one that Serling purchased.

It's the one where the guy was in the Civil War and dreamed he was escaping and at the end he got hung.
It had no talking in it and was just plain horribly boring.

[The Toyroom]

The one that bugs me (and I've only seen it a couple times) is the last episode (if I remember my TZ trivia) and I'm not up on the titles but it was the one where the kids jumped in their pool and then come up in a pond in another land where an old lady lives with a bunch of other kids.
What bugs me about it is the jarring voice dub by June Foray (Rocky the flying squirrel) due to recording problems they had when the episode was originally filmed.

That's "The Bewitchin' Pool" and I think Foray only dubs the voice when the kids are in the real world. When they're in the other dimension or whatever with Aunt T the voice is that of the actual actress.

Something similar bugged me when I was watching "Little Girl Lost" last night....when she's trapped in the fourth dimension, the girl's voice is supplied by an adult...and it's sooooooooo obvious. And when the dog is growling, it's obviosuly supplied by an actor as well. It distracted from the entire episode. Which was cheesy to begin with.

[The Toyroom]

The one about the toys is another great one. Actually the other one where people are toys (the couple stuck in the train set display) is another good one. I wonder which one came first?

"Five Characters in Search of An Exit" is from Season 3 and "Stopover in A Quiet Town" from Season 5.

[The Toyroom]

No...The Eye of the Beholder???

That's the creepiest episode for me.

I actually forgot about that one! So add that to my list for #11 and The Midnight Sun for #12

I never saw TZ much as a kid. I pretty much discoverd it on Sci-Fi.

I saw "The Howling Man" for the first time a few years back. Whoa. That one was heavy.

The one about the toys is another great one. Actually the other one where people are toys (the couple stuck in the train set display) is another good one. I wonder which one came first?

I bought my Dad TZ season 1 for Christmas. He was talking about how he always liked it, but rarely gets to watch it, so I remedied that. I hope to borrow his set soon.

The only problem with their marathon is every year they keep playing the same ones.


How many times can someone watch the one with the old lady and the flying saucer crashes onto her roof ?

Hee,hee,hee...that one is on right now!!

Yeah, that's always kinda bugged me too, even though The Bewitchin' Pool is one of my fave eps.

[Bizarro Amy]

I love the TZ marathon. Five Characters in Search of an Exit is one of my favorites, mostly because after several years, I caught it for the first time and was blown away. Another on my list is A Game of Pool. And I know some of them are shown frequently, but I always like watching Eye of the Beholder, Of Late I Think of Cliffordville.

[sauce]

i've been doing this one since childhood
i don't really follow it and watch the whole thing. i mostly just pop in when i can. that's my tradition with this tradition.
although, it used to be during Thanksgiving and not New Years, back in the day....
