One of the greatest shows in TV history.
Some of my faves include "Talking Tina", The Ventriloquist, To Serve Man, and many many others...a true classic (and one of the best theme songs ever)

Hell yah. To serve man is awesome. Talking Tina is creepy as hell too, I forgot about that one. Have you seen the wax museum one, it's one of the hour long ones, where the museums shutting down so the guy takes the figures home to his basement? Very awesome episode.

I honestly can't think of a bad episode of this show. Some were better then others of course, but none were really bad. Remember the one with William Shatner on the airplane and he see's a Gremlin on the wing. Terriffic show

I have always loved Twilight Zone. My favorite episode is "Time Enough at Last" with Burgess Meredith.

Great show! Among my favorites, "Mirror Image" Vera Miles gets an unpleasant surprise at the bus depot. "Talking Tina" shakes up Kojak. And the expression on Shatner's face when he realizes that they are merely humoring him in "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet", proves that he is truly underated as an actor. I also like some of the sweeter ones like "The Hunt" where the old dude goes hunting with his dog and ends up at the gates of heaven. Truly a classic.

Oh yah, you guys are the best, I love all of these. "Mirror Image" is definately one of the best episodes, it's just really creepy. But I agree, they're all good, every one of them. Have you guys seen the one about the gangsters shoes? I really like that one, I just watched it again. What channel do you guys watch it on...SciFi? I know they play a couple a week, I usually watch those. Do any other channels play them?

SciFi is the only one 'round here. Usually around New Years they'll do a marathon and show TZ for 24 hours +. Ah, that's livin'.

There are so Many GREAT episodes, My personal favorites are Night Mare at 20,000 feet, the remake in the TZ movie was AWSOME. The Eye of the Beholder, To serve Man, The Invaders and the Odyssey of flight 33. Image ent. is now releasing them in Seasons, bought Season 1 with a TZ companion book. Also available on DVD are the 80's TZ box set. Supposedly the Richard Matheson short story "The doll" is in this set. I was apparently one of the scaries TZ's ever, Thank you Mr. Matheson!

Yah, I want the seasons so bad...it's just hard to find money right now, being only 15...I need a job. Is it worth the money?

I don't know, are you a major TZ fan? It's a great set, Image has redone a lot of stuff on the disks. New score only track, new comentary tracks. They even have old t.v. commercials and a preview for next week at the end of every episode. Also a whole WHACK of special features on the last disk. all this and the Companion book. It was work the $150Cnd I paid. Now if I could only get rid of the Old sets I have for just as much:D .

I plan to buy that set with the money I save this summer. Im a huge fan, I own 8 episodes on DVD. Would be hard to choose a favourite...all the ones I have are inredible!
Third from the Sun [Great ending]
The Shelter [Very realistic, eeriely so]
To Serve Man [Classic...]
The Fugitive [Lighthearted, not one of the best]
Nick of Time [Another Shatner episode, pretty amazing]
The Prime Mover [Also Lighthearted, but really good]
It's a Good Life [Classic, and creepy. Loved the remake in the movie, too]
The Mind and the Matter [Yet another lighthearted one, definatly the best of the not so serious ones]
Cant wait to see more!

Twilight Zone, one of my all time favorite tv shows. When I have to stay up late (work related) I watch it on the Sci Fi channel at 1:00 am. They usually show two episodes. I don't know the names of the movies, but some of the recent ones I have seen is the one about the camera taking pictures in the future, the one where I think everyone disappears, and only one man is left who loves to read books, then his glasses breaks and he cannot see a thing; then there is the one about the ugly masks and etc. The only one that I really found boring was the one about the young couple on the cruise ship.

Sounds like "The Trade-Ins". An old couple both opt for a transformation to younger bodies, find out they only have enough money for one transformation. The woman demands her husband go ahead because he is crippled with arthritis and is in a lot of pain. He does, feels great but opts to go back to his old body to live out his days with his wife. Nice story.

"Mirror Image" #1. The smirk on Vera Miles' double as she sits smugly on the bus absolutely creeps me out! "Time Enough at Last" too sad and totally unfair. I love the suspensers like "Long Distance Call" (also sad and unfair, however) "Nightmare at 20,000 ft" and the sweeter ones like "The Hunt". Only real stinkers I can think of, well, guess I can't think of any right now. Ah, nostalgia.

I think Eye of the Beholder is my favorite, but I've never seen one I didn't like.
