The one that I remember creeping me out so bad when I was a boy was "Night Call" episode 139. I remember not being able to sleep for a couple of nights. Going back and watching it on Netflix and it's still freaky. Rod Serling was a genius.

The near-sighted loner who hated people. Never wanted to be bothered with even family, just left alone to read his books.

He ends up being the last human on earth after nuke war. He's shocked and saddened, then finds a library full of books and is thrilled...he can read his life away with no interruption. He rejoices.

Then he accidentally breaks his glasses.

Too many to name a favorite. But I remember watching one episode and towards the end I thought to myself "Final Destination stole the idea from this episode".

Time Enough at Last

My favorite Burgess Meredith episode of the 3 he starred in.

Love the one where Julie Newmar was the Devil. She was a smoke show.

Is SyFy doing the marathon today?

Twilight Zone is my third favorite show of all time, behind Seinfeld and The Sopranos.

A Stop at Willoughby and Walking Distance are very similar episodes, but I prefer Willoughby. It resonated with me deeply.

The Chaser is an underrated one for me.

Whats amazing to me about TZ is how many of the episodes feel old and over told. Like, they almost feel like Aesops fables to me. Serling basically created a menagerie of tropes, which is super impressive.

The retelling of "An Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge" is sublime to me. Serling didnt have a hand in that one, but the ending is so well done.

We should feel blessed to have Black Mirror. It is the Twilight Zone of our day.

That season when they switched from a 30 minute format to an hour was strange. I liked the episodes and that one especially, felt a lot of them ran long. Glad they switched back.

What a weird way to describe it "Eye of the Behilder"

And that's my favorite as well.

For me it's breaking bad, twilight zone, and mystery science theater 3000
