What's your favorite Twilight Zone episode ?

[wayne foundation 07]

With the marathon on Syfy for New Years over now, has me wondering what your best or favorite episode is?
Mine is Elegy, the one where the 3 astronauts land on an asteroid that is really a cemetery for the rich .

l really like Terror at 20,000 ft. with Willam Shatner and the one with Johnathan Winters and Jack Klugman playing pool. I can't remember the name of the episode.

^^ "A Game of Pool"

Easy to remember

[weshightower21]

bang! that's it.

Caught quite a few of these this year, including a few I had never seen, or hadn't seen in years. "Living Doll" was sufficiently creepy, although I didn't sympathize with Telly too much.

No one could have pulled off "Terror at 20,000 Feet" like Shatner. His over-the-top acting style was perfect for a neurotic character desperately trying NOT to see what he was seeing.

Living Doll
Nightmare at 20,000 Feet
Night Call
It's a Good Life
A Thing About Machines (I think that's the title)
Steel
On Thursday We Leave For Home
Static
and 3 more I can't remember the exact titles:
About the man who misses his mother and wants to be a boy again
The woman who finds out she's an android
The man who records things on tape that come to life

[Figuremod73]

The ones with Shatner and Bill Mumy (Its a good life) stand out to me. There are at least a dozen more I really like.

[johnnystorm]

The one with Anne Francis as the mannequin that thinks she's real, Burgess Meredith in "Time Enough at Last", & "To Serve Man". Really there's too many to choose from, there weren't too many stinkers, if any!

To Serve Man and Eye of the Beholder.

Eye of the Beholder was the scariest thing I've seen as a kid pre-Exorcist.

[PNGwynne]

It's very difficult for me to say--my favorites are likely a "10 Best" of the series.

I suppose I'd choose "Eye of the Beholder" tied with "The Masks" if pressed.

That's high praise for those two imo, because you all know how I love Buzz Meredith's work.

Two, The Obsolete Man, The Lonely, Third From the Sun

[spacecaps]

I've seen them all so many times. Some of them like 20,000 Feet and How To Serve Man have been done and redone to death that I can't get any more out of it. Then there's the ones I've never liked like Where Is Everybody (which always seems to be on) and the ones that just didnt age well or missed completely like Casey At The Bat but those are few and far between. If I did a top five I'd be really hard because it's probably my all time favorite TV show and there are too many good ones. So here's my top 10:
10. What you Need
9. The Howling Man
8. The Masks
7 The Hitch-Hiker
6. Time Enough At Last
5. Nick Of Time
4. Will The Real Martian Please Stand Up
3. Monsters Are Due On Maple Street
2. The Shelter
1. 3rd From The Sun

There's so many other ones I could have easily picked though…Game of Pool, The Mind & The Matter, The Little People….. just too many good ones.

On the flip side, two episodes I just can't stand: The Invaders and Bewitchin' Pool

[PNGwynne]

^That's a good list! "What You Need" is a great one.

For me, "Eye of the Beholder" is like "The Sixth Sense": Even when you re-watch it, knowing the denouement, it's so well-done you're still engaged.

[sprytel]

Not sure if its my fave, but WIlloughby always sticks with me...

[HardyGirl]

I forgot The Shelter and The Bewitchin' Pool.
