Favorite Half Hour Twilight Zone

[Megotastrophe]

Yes I left off the hour long episodes for a couple of reasons. Firstly, they just aren't played as much on television now. Secondly, the longer form gives more time for a good writer to really develop something, or for a bad writer to bore an audience so it seemed unfair either way.

“Of Late I Think of Cliffordville”.
Julie Newmar as the Devil; what’s not to like?

edit:oops, that’s an hour long episode.

Ok, then:
“The Changing of the Guard”.
Always leave me teary-eyed.

I definitely have a top 10, I watch the show regularly and picking a favorite isn't easy. Probably Eye of the Beholder.

That was the very first episode I ever watched. I had never even heard of the show, they were running them late night in the early 70's on a local LA station, way past my bedtime. One Friday night in '74 my Uncle introduced me to the show, and during the commercials he kept saying, "wait 'til you see her, she's absolutely hideous". When the bandages came off I was totally bewildered, until the big reveal, which blew my 11 year old mind. It was around this same time that he introduced me to radio mysteries. Fun times!

Over the years, A Stop at Willoughby is probably the one that I find myself thinking about the most.

I did not appreciate this one when I was younger. By the time I ventured into my 40's though, "Push Push Push" resonated much more deeply and the dream of Willoughby seemed like a much more appealing way of life. Heck, these days, even the reality of Willoughby has its own appeal.

Walking Distance...and It's a Good Life

I liked the version of Good Life that they did in the movie.

It’s A Good Life with Billy Mumy

For me personally, it’s both the Bill Shatner episodes. I love the original Twilight Zone, so it’s hard to pick just one, but if I had to those would be it.

Also like the Burgess Meredith episode, which I think is called “Time at Last.”

So many great ones. "Walking Distance" is a favorite that hasn't been mentioned here yet. "Mirror Image" and "After Hours" are also fantastic. "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," even though it was repurposed for the show, is also a favorite.

Changing of the Guard.

It saved my life

And it saved my soul.

Nuff said.

The Invaders



"Central Control. Come in, Central Control. Do you read me? Mikey is dead. Repeat, Mikey is dead. The ship's destroyed.
Incredible race of giants here. Race of giants. No, Central Control. No counterattack. Repeat, no counterattack. Too much for us. Too powerful.
Stay away. Mikey and I, we're finished... finished. Stay away... stay away."

The one in the diner where John Hoyt has three arms and the cook has 3 eyes

Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?

[TrekStar]

There’s a lot to pick from…

I liked Terror at 20,000 feet and To Serve Man.

The other I liked was the one with Russell Johnson (the Professor on Gilligan’s Island) he walked out the door and found himself back during the time of the Abraham Lincoln assassination night and was trying to warn everyone before it happens.
