One of the best TV shows of all time, I rarely get to see it... Im not really sure when or what channel its on... but I downloaded some eps to my PC.

I love this show:

Okay, I'll bite. One of my favorite episodes is the one about the gate to heaven/hell. A guy and his dog are walking down a country road and stumble upon a toll gate. He talks to the gate guard who tells him it's the entrance to heaven. The episode challenges the viewers' concepts and expectations of the afterlife. Quite good.

This is really a great show. I've seen so many of the episodes, however, that I find it difficult to justify the purchase of the DVD. They shouldn't have whored themselves out every New Year's Day and July 4th (or whatever holiday it is that they show those 48 hour marathons of Twilight Zone)-- they'd be rolling in the money right now. :D


Really a trend-setting show in many ways-- very ahead of its time.

The Scary Door!

% A car runs the man over. Screen goes white, comes back
% with the man sitting in front of a slot machine. He comes
% to and pulls the lever. The machine stops on three bars.
% Change rolls out of it.

Clyde: Ha-ha-ha! A casino where I'm winning? That car must've killed me.
I must be in heaven! [He pulls the level again and wins again]
A casino where I always win. That's boring. I must really be...
... in HELL!

% A man steps up from behind the slot machine.

Man: No, Mr. Smith. You are not in heave or hell. You are on an airplane!
[He slides the curtains, revealing the airplane windows. Clyde
whimpers and looks out the window. A bluish creature sits on the
wing of the plane ripping wires out of it]
Clyde: There's a gremlin destroying the plane. You gotta believe me!
Man: Why should I believe you? You're Hitler!

% He pulls a mirror from behind his back. Clyde's reflection indeed looks
% like Hitler.

Clyde: No! [Now he looks like Hitler. He turns to a woman sitting next
to him] Eva Braun! Help me! [The woman pulls off a mask,
revealing a head of a giant fly]
Clyde: A-a-ah!!!

% Cut to Planet Express staff, minus Fry, watching the show on TV.

Bender: Saw it coming.
 
since its sort of on-topic, they are finally releasing the Twilight Zone season by season in chronilogical order on DVD. Season 1 comes out this month. Unfortunately, just like the other TZ sets, they are expensive as fuck. Season 1 list price is like $115 :(

Sci-fi shows a marathon of the show almost every week I think. Everyday from about 8 am to 1pm they show a marathon of a random sci-fi show, you just have to keep an eye out for it in your guide.

Oh, my fav episode is the one with the guy who kept visiting that small peaceful town called Willoughby. I never get sick of that episode and it's ending, hit me like a brick the first time, hardly than any of the others.
 
in contrast to the original series, i prefer the outer limits. i liked the scifi bent to the stories. but the 80's TZ had some GREAT eps.

the standout for me is the episode about the pocket watch that could stop time... the final shot in that epsiode still gives me shivers.

Red Snow was another goody...
 
Way ahead of its time.

Loved the one with the girl driving cross country and the old man hitchhiker. Also the one with the manequins having 1 week to be alive.

Rod Serling was genius!

Sci-Fi channel has ran 24 hr marathons on NY's day in the past. Hopefully they'll run it again this year.
