First Time Watching Ep. 28 *A NICE PLACE TO VISIT* (1960) what is life? | THE TWILIGHT ZONE

[@kschneyer]

In the Divine Comedy, Dante describes Hell as a place where each person keeps himself, through his inability or unwillingness to let go of the sins that brought him there. In that story, Hell has no actual gates; anyone has the power to leave, but no one does.

[@nicolenewsome4863]

Leave to where? There's only 2 places after the afterlife.

[@kschneyer]

@@nicolenewsome4863 Heaven, I presume. In Dante, Christ has blown open the gates to Hell.

[@The_Bermuda_Nonagon]

Pip's laugh at the end was terrifying. (Especially if you only knew him as Mister French from FAMILY AFFAIR.)

[@PeterEvansPeteTakesPictures]

I know right? I was pleasantly shocked by the sick evil laugh. I saw the twist coming but the delivery was just superb so I didn't mind!

[@johnbiggs4772]

A Stop at Willoughby, my father’s favorite episode. Unforgettable.

[@tomservo4president61]

My 2nd favorite episode next the Obselete Man. 3rd Would be It's a Good Life.

[@kschneyer]

Agreed! Magnificent acting by James Daly.

[@petehenry7878]

I can remember the key to it as soon as I read your comment. Man on a train, conductor yelling "Next stop Willoughby". Then at the end we find out where or should say "What" Willoughby is.

[@markvoelker6620]

Willoughby! Willoughby! Next stop, Willoughby!

[@melissastruxness512]

That one is the best I think

[@michaelhukel9480]

Please react to "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street". It's one of the greatest Twilight Zone episodes ever.

[@jamesharper3933]

Our man in the white suit is Sebastian Cabot. He was the narrator in the original Disney Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, TV show Family Affair, The Time Machine 1960, Jungle Book (voice of Bagheera the panther) and many TV shows of the 60's and 70's.

[@1nelsondj]

Mr. French!

[@andrewcharles459]

He seems to have misplaced Buffy and Jody.

[@Galantski]

@@andrewcharles459 Fortunately, they are in the OTHER other place! 🙂

[@williamcurry4868]

I think the things that throw people off is how Pip goes from being a genial sweet guy to that maniacal laughing hysterically evil at the end, and Rocky finally getting that he’s trapped forever, and it hits him hard. Great reaction👍

[@JENDALL714]

Well, if you are stuck there might as well make the best of it and request some chicks. I know I would.

[@Estelle2007]

I was thinking something similar but with all the guys I want for eternity.

[@jeffreythornton428]

I love how all of Rod's story telling have a lesson.

[@Rickhorse1]

To me, the true measure of how great the original Twilight Zone is.. if you get 10 people who've seen them all to list their own "top 10", you might wind up with 40+ "best" episodes. Very few "so-so" episodes...which is remarkable.

[@standardofexcellence]

Not sure i find alot of people haven't seen them all and lists the popular ones without having seen them all and having there own diverse thought put into there list its invalid to me so I made my own based off this with very distinct criteria

[@spacedinosaur8733]

Trying to narrow down to the 10 "best" episodes...that would be so hard.

[@standardofexcellence]

@@spacedinosaur8733 just refine your list criteria and diversify your list according to diversity in story and interest.

[@collegealgebravideos9540]

and even the so-so episodes are worth watching, just not as often

[@kurtb8474]

Personal gain of wealth without effort is the problem with his situation. In life, he tried to gain wealth by stealing, robbing and even killing thinking his life would get better. Rocky had no ambition to put his nose to the grindstone and earn his wealth honestly. There is nothing wrong with being wealthy. It's what one does with it that is important. When you work for it, you appreciate it more. Rocky wanted to take the easy route, and when his chance to do so came along, he discovered too late how empty it is.

[@jons.105]

Two great actors: Larry Blyden, a wonderful Broadway actor who played Barbra Streisand's fiancé in "On a Clear Day", and dapper Sebastian Cabot who narrated the Winnie the Pooh shorts and played Mr. French on TV's long-running "Family Affair".

[@hippychikforever]

Sebastian Cabot was also the voice of Bagheera in The Jungle Book. He could read the phone book and it would be interesting.

[@ECO473]

Larry Blyden hit a grand slam here. His Valentine was a wannabe Dutch Schultz.

[@najhoant]

Fun fact: Trump actually spoke fondly of this particular episode, seeing Valentine's wealth as life goals. Clearly he either completely missed the point or stopped watching halfway through

[@JohnGuzik]

It's not just 'A nice place to visit' as you said at the end. The entire saying is "It's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there."

[@PeterEvansPeteTakesPictures]

The joy of recommending episodes of the Twilight Zone is that there are so many great ones, you don't even mind when your own doesn't make the cut, chance are whatever you pick will be something special. For me I have a fondness for 'Third from the Sun'. It doesn't rank that high on most people's lists, but I feel it has a quietly disturbing atmosphere, some great tension and some excellent acting. 'Long Live Walter Jameson' is also one I'm very fond of, and A Stoop at Willoughby. Pretty much all the ones people are listing in these comments are equally valid, though! Great reaction and please keep these coming! But please be aware if you ever find yourself continuously reacting to events in front of you, helpless to do anything but offer opinion, emotional response and conjecture to each and every occurance that befalls your senses in a non-stop stream of feverish analysis then you, yourself, might just be in... The Twilight Zone. (Ba-dummmm!)

[@spacedinosaur8733]

Those are great, I'm a sucker for Happy(er) endings so Two; The Hunt; & the Changing of the Guard are a couple of my favorites.

[@bigneon_glitter]

Essential episodes worth checking out: The Howling Man The Long Morrow Eye Of The Beholder The Midnight Sun

[@CoyKiyote]

I love that Pip never once lies-- he just... omits. Rocky "I don't belong here! I don't think I fit it!" Pip: "Nonsense! Of course you do!"

[@davids2096]

I highly recommend T Z episode People Are Alike All Over with Roddy McDowell I am not a patron, unable to be one at this point in time, but your consideration for us non patrons would be appreciated!

[@MoviesWithMia]

Yes, totally understandable! These episodes were predetermined, so I have them set for this month, but as I find more seasons of The Twilight Zone, I will be considering more episodes from viewers :)

[@Oonagh72]

Have you done a reaction to Twilight Zone “Time Enough at Last”. it was my favorite because I wear glasses.

[@inkfishpete8695]

That white suit! Mia, my wife said the same thing the other night. We were watching Boys From Brazil and Gregory Peck (in an immaculate white suit) was playing Josef Mengele.

[@GrouchyMarx]

Mia, you're have a lot of material to work with doing Twilight Zones. Because there are so many good ones! There are so many I want to see you do and itching to throw out many suggestions, but really, just about ANY will do! LOL! Looking forward to the next one, and reading the few episode suggestions given here so far, I totally second them all! ✌️😎

[@keithneale3055]

Eye of the Beholder

[@peterbooth793]

Sébastien Cabot. What a wonderfully maniacal laugh 😃.

[@RenfrewPrume]

Larry Blyden, the star, deserves a word. He was a phenomenal actor who gave a knockout performance in the 1959 TV drama "What Makes Sammy Run?" (not to be confused with the musical film based on the same book, or the earlier TV version with Jose Ferrer). He also gave a fine performance in another Twilight Zone episode, "Showdown with Rance McGrew."

[@cryptodwayne5174]

I loved Sebastian Cabots performance in this episode.

[@MK-hh1vo]

This is my absolute favorite episode of my absolute favorite TV series! This, and the ones like this, with the ironic, twist endings, are the true essence of what made TZ great! The others like this one that I love: -To Serve Man -Time Enough at Last -Escape Clause -I Shot an Arrow in the Air -People Are Alike All Over -The Rip Van Winkle Caper -Person or Persons Unknown -Last Night of a Jockey -A Kind of Stopwatch

[@wesleyrodgers886]

Charles Beaumont. Excellent writer. Loved this episode.

[@celinhabr1]

[@PeterEvansPeteTakesPictures]

"Sure, sure Rod, all the Specials sound great... just tell me 'cos the suspense is killing me... what's the catch?!" "

[@billbogamer4389]

A little appreciated show that ran concurrently with TTZ was One Step Beyond. I especially recommend "The Dead Part of the House" and "The Return of Edmund Champion".

[@CoyKiyote]

Pip was played by Sebastian Cabot, who was also the voice of Bhagerra in the Disney 1967 Jungle Book cartoon

[@thesapper4654]

Finally someone reacting to Twilight Zone. Love Twilight Zone. Checkout any TZ with Burgess Meredith, particularly, The Obsolete Man. Might be my favorite episode of all of them.

[@spacedinosaur8733]

That is a great, thought provoking episode!

It very well could be the set from “My Man Godfrey.” “Twilight Zone” was filmed at the remaining MGM Studios.

[@tranya327]

Hi Mia, I continue to enjoy your ‘Twilight Zone’ series. I read your comment that you’ll be doing first season episodes, since that’s what you have access to, for the time being. There are a number of great episodes in each season, including the first one. My personal pick for the first season ‘standouts’ (that you haven’t already reviewed) are: - the hitch-hiker - mirror image - the monsters are due on maple street - a world of difference - a stop at Willloughby - a world of his own Most of the episodes above have tension and high-drama, with stakes that are through the roof. “A world of his own,” is exceptionally good when you’re in the mood for a delightful, light-hearted romp (with some “bonus action” in the episode by Rod Serling, himself. It was a great way for him to close out the first season. :)

[@des1850]

[@EastPeakSlim]

Season 1, episode 1, "Where Is Everybody?" This was actually the pilot. Good kickoff to the legendary series.

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

This reminds me a lot of the plot of the 1990 film, "Mr. Destiny," with James Belushi & Micheal Caine.

[@hippychikforever]

I really enjoyed watching this with you on Patreon, and commenting here just to boost the algorithm.

[@ronaldnichols9815]

I love your videos. This is my favorite episode of The Twilight zone. Even though the twist ending is easy to predict. It is still disquieting. I love it.

[@gwwaz]

I don’t know if you read this feedback months later. If you do, I am impressed with your choices. I watched the Twilight Zone every Friday night when I was in jr. high. I would watch it alone and then on mondays my friends and myself would rehash the episodes. I love the old Twilight Zone. I have seen all or most and enjoy that you enjoy them.

[@laurab391]

Mia, how many Twilight Zone episodes have you previously seen? I'm actually wondering if you've already seen some of the more famous ones like "It's A GOOD Life" or "To Serve Man".

[@stevetheduck1425]

Twilight Zone: Yes. The Outer Limits: Yes. But don't forget 'One Step Beyond' the predecessor show to them both. Much more varied, it covers strange real events sometimes, and deals in allegory, covering many difficult subjects.

Mia, please consider doing a reaction video on the movie “The Giver”, starting Jeff Bridges. It is a very interesting SciFi movie.

[@MoviesWithMia]

Hi Arthur! Thank you for watching :) as of right now my focus is classic film up to 1969. I don’t have any immediate plans to open the channel up to modern films, but, if there is enough demand, I might consider starting a channel for more modern films. Thank you again for watching 😁

Mia, you really need to watch two of my all time favorite episodes from season one….”One For The Angels” and “Walking Distance”.

[@ainsleyperry5192]

Mia,This episode aired 4/15/60. Sebastian Cabot ( Pip)had jet black hair and beard. When they tried to whiten his hair. everything they used was'nt very successful.So in the end they used zinc oxide. Which is not very good for your hair or you. It takes 3 months or more for it to grow out. Until the zinc's all gone it's still very toxic for your body. Who'd be an actor? Cheers, Chris Perry.

[@standardofexcellence]

A good but underrated episode with maybe one of those twists you see coming

[@NelsonMontana1234]

Over a half century later, and these shows are still relevant. Imagine how mind blowing it was at the the time. TV itself had only been around for about 15 years when these shows were made. . After all t these years later, it's just gotten worse and worse.

[@hifijohn]

Tons of great TZ episodes to react to.

[@DanKetchum007]

I can't say that all eternity of having everything I want would be all that terrible

[@MoviesWithMia]

As humans, we desire fulfillment, completeness. Ways we think that can be achieved is through money, fame, etc. but materialistic and superficial things are temporal… eventually everything fades away one way or another, so how can one find fulfillment in objects that are limited? Or, in Rocky’s case, meaningless (what does he need money for in hell?)

[@mikesgirl8304]

That was fun! Sebastian Cabot actually hosted an anthology series himself called Ghost Story. He’d be decked out in a nice suit or a robe with a cigar in one hand and a glass of brandy in the other. Then they removed his intros and called it Circle of Fear.

Mia I grew up with twilight zone in my teens and also have "The Twilight Zone Companion" a book that tells all 447 pages worth. I have had it and protected it for many years. The copyright for this one is 1982 and Im aware that have been other editions of it. I have watched all your reactions of this series . The thing with twilight zone is everyone who loved the series has his/her own favorite ones. There are many good ones both half hour and hour. Probably my fav is "Printers Devil" followed by several others like "The Seventh is made up of phantoms" and "Last Flight" "The odyssey of flight 33" "Long live Walter Jameson" to name a few. Please keep doing the series.

[@Shadowman...]

The true message of this episode is that once the Gift of reality being random is taken away, everything has no meaning. Many atheists accuse God of not interacting and making things happen to change our world-but this is exactly WHY REALITY is set up so everything is NOT TO BE PRE PLANNED. Materialism is worthless- LOVE IS FOREVER and PRICELESS
