But with so many episodes, some must be duds. What are the must see episodes of this show?

Walking Distance
Nightmare at 20,000 Feet
Mirror Image
The Monsters are Due on Maple Street
The Lonely

Nothing in the Dark
The Obsolete Man
and more I can't remember off the top of my head. But really, few episodes aren't worth watching. Just choose at random and don't binge watch the whole show.
Even the unforgivably bad episodes are worth watching. That's how based Serling was. If you have to skip any, start with the hour long ones, purely in the interest of time.
>The ones everybody knows
-Eye of the Beholder (Woman gets reconstructive surgery, but...)
-Time Enough at Last (The one about the bookworm)
-Nightmare at 20,000 Feet ("I saw something on the wing of the plane")
-To Serve Man (Aliens serve humanity)
-It's a Good Life (To the cornfield)
>Personal favorites
-Number 12 Looks Like You (Society forcibly turns everyone into Chads and Stacys)
-Steel (that Real Steel movie, but better)
-A Game of Pool (Undead champion pool player defends his title)
-A Piano in the House (Magic piano forces listeners to reveal their true selves)
The latest episode
How did you feel about the early 2000s series?
The one where the racist white cop chases the black family
Not this one.
could see them remaking that one episode where the lady is driving and keeps running into a hitchhiker until she realizes she's dead and in purgatory but do it with a black guy passing the same cop throughout the episode and finds out he was killed
Every single episode but the "muh 6 gorillion" ones
Let's talk about this kid. Was he an actual god? What were the limits of his power?
Season 4 has the most duds, and I believe it's because they switched the length of episodes to an hour long. My theory is this is also a factor in the new Twilight Zone being dogshit
Part of me says it doesn't matter but it would be fun to mull over, based on the episode he didn't seem to have any limitations whatsoever but he wasn't omnipotent since he didn't know exactly when people were plotting against him iirc
And When the Sky was Opened is the best episode of the whole series in my opinion. It's both a sci-fi and paranormal concept, the 2 main courses of the TZ, with suspenseful directing and acting. What more could you ask for
No HOWLING MAN?
Wtf...it's the most comfy episode.
A dud?
Is that not the episode where the guy releases the literal devil and spends the rest of his life trying to rectify it how is that comfy
I haven't heard a lot of other people talk about this episode, but I quite liked S1E2 "One for the Angels". The ending has a much different tone than other episodes, and it focused on a simple concept with good execution.
Because he's in a monastery on a rainy night.
I want to live there
I can get that part at least, sometimes a bit of a creepy factor can add to the comfy
That's one I forgot.
That too.
yeah thats a pretty good one, kinda similar to the one with the boxer
Walking Distance was so good it made me cry
Why were there so many western episodes? Just easy to use the set or was it because of the popularity of the genre at the time?
Maybe the genre was popular because of the ease of the setting, hmmmm?
You've just entered the twilight zone
Wheres the best place to stream episodes?
I think it's all on Netflix except season 4
It's not like people would blame you for skipping over season 4, but I'm sure it's out there online
Why would you stream older shows? The filesizes are microscopic.
Fuck that. Which episodes had the hottest women. I just jerked it to the one about the cat-lady in that guy’s dream and the woman in Will The Real Martian Please Stand Up
Basically it seems like he was pretty much a god, except he could only focus on one person at a time. Also if you go by the sequel episode made in the early 2000's starring the same guy as the character literally 40 years later, he had up to that point erased the world outside our that town, so there's that.
its just ez
Wasnt it made clear he erased everything but the one town in the original episode?
I would have found it possibly a bit more interesting if the sequel focused on him matured and realizing all the mistakes he made with his power and stop using it but then finds his daughter has then which puts him in a panic
Omnipotent without being omniscient.
It's a paradoxical combination that always makes for great horror. Have an immortal that has to endlessly watch the universe tick by in a human perception.
Miracle Mile
it was intended to be a segment for the movie
The ballerina from Five Characters In Search Of An Exit was my waifu. Good episode too. I loved the clown. Spooky dream girl (Maya?) was very alluring as well.

>Dust
>Man in the Bottle
The Cliffordsvile one with the naughty she devil will have you jerking again.
>Wasnt it made clear he erased everything but the one town in the original episode?
Been a while since I watched that ep but I thought in the original episode, the state of the outside world was more ambiguous.
>I would have found it possibly a bit more interesting if the sequel focused on him matured and realizing all the mistakes he made with his power and stop using it
I mean he's been a shitty brat his whole life, who brutally and immediately punishes those that criticizes him in the slightest, so I dunno where he would have the wherewithall to reflect and come to the conclusion that he's been misusing his powers the whole time.
Anne Francis in The After Hours
Yeah but he was a child in the original episode. I figured part of the point was how that kind of power in the mind of a kid that doesn't really know any better could be a dangerous thing. As the years go on he matures and realizes what a monster he was
What’s the worst episode and why is it 4 O’Clock
A Stop at Willoughby
A Passage for Trumpet
A Game of Pool
Shadow Play
The Dummy
Perchance to Dream

Steel
Printer’s Devil
The Old Man in the Cave
The Purple Testament

The Monsters are Due on Maple Street
Those are some of my favorites off the top of my head. The whole series is great. The only unspeakably bad episodes that immediately come to mind are The Incredible World of Horace Ford, He’s Alive, The Bewitchin’ Pool, and Once Upon a Time.
How are you gonna say theirs are reddit and then list bullshit like Execution and The Jungle? The ones that everyone knows are overrated but those are some great personal favorites. I agree about What’s in the Box? though. Very underrated.
Julie Newmar was the first one I thought of too. That lady in A World of Difference and the seduction lady in Perchance to dream are hotties too.
Perchance to Dream
A World of Difference has that one I like.
Number 12 Looks Just Like You
I meant Of Late I Think of Cliffordville, not Perchance to Dream
Lots of free time on your hands, huh loser? LMAO
I wish.
>he maintains records of people he believes to be "evil" and makes phone calls to them and their employers at all hours, writes letters regarding their actions, demands their prompt firing, and threatens to involve higher authorities if they do not comply.
Imagine a time when bad tv becomes reality. When the lines between reality and fiction become blurred. Don’t look back now, because your next stop is the Twilight Zone.
The entire 4th season.
I see you user. I appreciate you.
>no occurrence at owl creek
>no A Nice Place to Visit
>no mr bevis
Yea Forums is full of plebs
Two starring Elizabeth Montgomery
Not much love for Maple Street in this thread. The ending is a little spelled-out but peak McCarthyism as a time capsule for the original series.
I still can't watch that episode without crying. The father's speech toward the end hits too close.
Ed Wynn is a gem. Perfect bittersweet ending.
I see your point, but I also think that it's fitting that he grew up to be such a manchild, since he never had anyone to correct him since they were terrified.
