▶ "One Step Beyond" Equivalent: A Message from Charity

Outside our usual 1950s criterion for "equivalents", but some people might find it worthwhile, nevertheless: from "The Twilight Zone"; Season 1, Episode 6; Nov 1 1985.

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

The story line is a more-than-average test of our "suspension of disbelief" . . . but it works anyway.

[@geoflevan2318]

Best one I've ever seen!👍😁

[@derekseven1647]

Thanks for converting these into black and white episodes taking away the color makes the newer stories blend in with the older ones.

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

@@derekseven1647 It's not 100% ideal . . . because the method of filming is different for color vs B&W. But I still think it's the best thing to do in this context . . .

[@sandiehoward2762]

At the end the Narrator says,: ‘ The Twilight Zone’. Lol !! This was very unique story, wish I had this experience.

[@whatwillbem6825]

Ahhhh ….yes….

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

You probably have flashes of this experience . . . but don't recognize them as such.

[@timmotel5804]

Wonderful episode.

[@donnya205]

This was an incredible episode! Thank you!!

[@zeexenon2240]

A similar story of an antique writing desk with a hidden compartment being a conduit between a far past mailbox is reminiscent to me. Equally powerful of impossible love between the abyss of time. 'Breaks this old widower heart again. TGP

[@MichaelandCathy1999]

I love these more than the Twilight Zone episodes. Hey, that’s the warden from “The Green Mile”

[@TERoss-jk9ny]

As well as “Babe”.

[@caryjacobs8878]

You mean, Obadiah, the father? I am blind, so I have to go on voices. I thought that was him… Question: the Doctor Who helps the boy? He sounds a lot like Dick Van Dyke… #HappyForTH 😎🇺🇸🍻

[@jduff59]

I just saw him in The Sum of all Fears as PUSA. Great character actor James Cromwell He's still alive - born in 1940, so he looked very mature back then, too.

[@christophercox3908]

He also played Zephrum Cochran, inventor of the warp drive.

[@tessaducek5601]

Actually . This is the Twilight Zone! First season.

[@DrMoorehen]

Great stuff! Thank you fir a superb channel xx

[@traceymcgowan826]

Takes me back to when i was a kid ❤ love your videos

[@terryford8280]

Ok...that was groovy!!! " IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE THO!!!😂😂😂😎😎 Thank you for this timeless gem 💎!!😉😉

[@spidermoth1170]

Choice 💕loved this one muchly Thank you ⚘⚘⚘

[@leroygrayjr.2957]

What a keen mind to think of such a story and include a library of multitudes of like minds. This film should be shown in classrooms and school auditoriums.

[@shivercanada]

That was superb and beautiful without being corny. excellent music as well, but it’s The Twilight Zone not One Step Beyond.

[@kenbritton8227]

Music by Grateful Dead...that was a surprise to me.

[@tenzon975]

But it is titled, "One Step Beyond Equivalent" . But this is one of the very first roles Robert Duncan McNeil was ever in!!!!

[@Number6_]

It is one step beyond the twilight zone.

[@angelaortiz3406]

Love it I remember this one good one

[@Bacallz]

Awesome ! Thank you!

[@theheartofzany1]

Love all the One Step Beyond Tv Video's. Watch them often, over and over LOL x

[@alanatolstad4824]

Reminiscent of the Hallmark Movie "The Love Letter".

[@oldhippie81]

You might like For All time 2000 TV movie. Hope you have a nice day:-)

[@alhodge4051]

very nice story....

[@donaldleroy6502]

I've seen this on a different channel, I do appreciate that you removed the color, so much better in black and white

[@vincentvonelf6366]

He got friendzoned from beyond the grave

[@paulhenryharvey8531]

star trek, voyager, one of the bridge crew{Tom Paris}. Wow this must be more recent than I would have otherwise thought. late eighties- early nineties.

[@factsoverfiction7826]

1985, according to the notes under the title ....and the character, Peter Wood.

[@billyjay4672]

One of the best I've ever seen to date

[@Broken_Arrow58]

This was one of the better episodes of The New Twilight Zone from the mid-1980s (S1E6).

[@bruceanderson8720]

we like it!

[@kathyj6070]

This had me confused when Peter told Charity it was 1985. Then I read the description and saw that this is "The Twilight Zone." Lol

[@buddybates3247]

As George van tassel said in one of his lectures, having the time to think about things other than daily chores has become less and less. So many distractions with just the car and airplane noise alone. Imagine what would happen if you stayed up in the mountains for a month or longer alone. To get by yourself in the city or suburbs takes practice. By yourself means, alone with your thoughts. ✌

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

Or alone with your awareness . . .

[@leroygrayjr.2957]

Star Trek- Voyager Tom Paris is Peter in a black & white film ?

[@tracytovey9471]

This episode was also an episode on the 80s version of the Twilight zonw

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

This is that episode . . . in B&W.

[@kendallotway833]

That was so good thank you 😊

[@bellstonemerriwetherrivens3344]

Wow: Sound design by Mickey Hart! .New main title theme for The Twilight Zone by The Grateful Dead! 1985

[@asthecrowflies737]

What a wonderful "love story"!!!!!

[@kevincozens6837]

I recognized the program title immediately as an episode of The Twilight Zone. This has two connections to Star Trek. First is James Cromwell who played Dr. Zefram Cochrane, and (Robert) Duncan McNeill who played Tom Paris in ST: Voyager.

[@karlatorres6398]

so cute....true love

[@jeffashley5512]

Love seeing these actors/actresses early in there career. James Cromwell here...That'll Do Pig, That'll Do.

[@maryellencervantes1332]

I loved it! Thanks for telling us about it!

[@kevmodee1866]

Wouldn't it be so amazing to be able to see and sense a time either behind our own, or to the future? To be able to see through the eyes of a distant friend of a different time. Would one be tempted to use it for good of others, or for the selfish ill gotten gains?

[@MaryEBCify]

Davy's necklace is another short story made into film by pbs in the 80s...I have wanted to see it again...

[@gloriaannopperman2734]

A great episode!

[@marcellinechoisne5627]

[@dayzmelttogether]

what is one step beyond? i dont understand what its about

[@factsoverfiction7826]

"One Step Beyond" was a tv anthology of documented supernatural stories. It ran from Jan 1959 to July 1961 (96 episodes) and was very popular. It's having a resurgence on KZbin now. So "One Step Beyond" Equivalent is just a title to attract viewers to similar shows ... Like this 'New Twilight Zone' episode from Nov 1985.

[@dayzmelttogether]

@@factsoverfiction7826 oh wow thats great wats the best episode of one step beyond? so fa r the ones i watched were either twilightzone or the lucy ball network special
