Mine is "I am the Camera" Husband and wife have a camera that will predict the future and they go to the horse track and take a picture of the tote board. Classic.

I think you are thinking of A Most Unusual Camera .. which is one of my Favs as well

Nick of Time was another fav... The Arrival was another ... that's the one where a Plane lands with nobody on it.

lots of classics
writers been recycling these scripts for years

How about the old lady getting attacked by US space ships in her home? Turns out she was a giant...

Tons of famous actors and actresses got their start on the Twilight Zone...

How about the bookworm Burgess Merideth who broke his glasses when he was a sole survivor of a nuclear attack...was stuck in a library with nothing to read...

One of the best shows ever. I'll be sure to set my Tivo. Nice to see that 'SyFy' is doing this again this year after showing a marathon of Greatest American Hero last year. Who the hell made that decision?

As for my favorite episode, tough to choose, so many good ones, but I've always liked that episode with the evil ventriloquist dummy who is a criminal mastermind for Jackie Cooper's character. 'To Serve Man', the one with Shatner in the diner and The Hitcher are also favorites. I also like the gambling episodes- the aforementioned camera one and the one with the anti-gambling dude getting hooked on a slot machine.

The hitchhiker episode scared the piss out of me when I was a kid......."going my way"

My favorite is "On Thursday We Leave For Home." This is that episode where a bunch of people have been stranded on a planet that has two suns and the captain develops a God complex and doesn't want to give up being the peoples leader. Stubborn mofo gets left behind on the planet to live alone.

I bought the DVD set of all of the Twilight Zone series 1959, 1985 and 2002 a couple of years ago so it kinda ruins the marathons for me now. Funny how they released the original black and white Twilight Zone seasons on Blu-ray last year at like $100 a season. What a rip it is in black and white its not like you need to see a gray desk or lamp in 1080i or anything. DVD quality works just fine.

ya the giant lady was one of my favorites.......great show

wilheim · Jul 2, 2011

Wasn't Burgess Merideth stuck in a bank vault in the nuke attack episode? Then when he came out after a couple of weeks to find himself alone but with the local library or his books anyway in tact so he figured he had all the time in the world to read those beloved books only to break his glasses by accident in a tragic and for me very sad reversal of fortune. He no longer could read which was his dream in life. Great but depressing episode..

I was pretty young when I saw the old woman get attacked by what were toy weapons and had shit scared out of me also..

gtc08 · Jul 2, 2011

my favorite one is will the real martian please stand up

wolfie_cr · Jul 2, 2011

The Obsolete Man is a good one

Also another episode where a guy over throws a dictator only to turn into the next dictator (any similarity with Fidel Castro is AHEM of course a total coincidence) , the episode is called The Mirror

A similar episode resembles the Vietnam war with asian and caucasian characters fighting, the main character of the episode is "transformed" into one of the other side.....I dont quite remember the name of this episode

wolfie_cr · Jul 2, 2011

ah yeah, "The Changing of the Guard" , this episode and a couple of beers will put a few tears in my eyes......great great episode, very inspiring
