I love the original Twilight Zone, my favorites are " Living Doll " with Telly Savalas and " Time Enough At Last " with Burgess Merideth along with many others.

[@maxthepupp]

Love this show so much! A low key favorite is "Nothing in the Dark"

[@giarc888]

Howling mans message is true now than and always, great episode.

[@gwendolyndouglaswilliams5002]

I am a fan of THE TWILIGHT ZONE, too. One of my favorite episodes is THE Night of the Meek with Art Carney, who plays a drunk, who is a dept. Store Santa but has a giving heart for helping those in need. I bought the complete series and have a marathon every now and then...❤

[@Lovebatsinthebelfry]

I adore that episode too, I did a separate video talking about that episode 👍🏻

Rod Serling achieved success in 1955 when his teleplay " Patterns " was broadcast on live television's Kraft Television Theater. A year later, he wrote " Requiem for a Heavyweight " which garnered huge praise. Serling intensely disliked having to pander to corporate guidelines and sponsor censorship. As a result, he created the Twilight Zone, which used fantasy and elements of sci-fi in his scripts. It was a hit from the beginning. My favorite episodes are Walking Distance, And When the Sky was Opened and The Obsolete Man.

The changing of the guard, is my favorite. My public education lacked much and it has taken a long time to fill in the gaps. “Poem by Howard A. Walter (Character) I would be true, for there are those who trust me; I would be pure, for there are those who care; I would be strong, for there are those who suffer; I would be brave, for there is much to dare. I would be friend of all--- the foe, the friendless; I would be giving, and forget the gift; I would be humble, for I know my weakness; I would look up, and laugh, and love, and lift.” ― John C. Maxwell, Developing the Leader Within You

[@anothonypeterson3402]

I never heard of Nightmare ...20,000 as sentimental ! One of my very favorite TV shows ever,though!

[@AbrasiousProductions]

I absolutely love the obsolete man, it's a twilight zone masterpiece, I'm not gonna lie upon watching it for the first time the ending genuinely frightened me

[@marshalljimduncan]

Judgement Night, The Hunt, A Stop At Willoughby, The Grave, and Death Ship are some good ones...

[@thealuke]

An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, based on a short story by Ambrose Bierce, American short story writer, journalist, poet, and American Civil War veteran.

[@specialagentorange4329]

Howling man, the invaders, i shot an arrow in the air, old man in cave, monsters are due...,the lonely, judgement night, nightmare at 30,000 feet, back there, long live walter jameson

[@pooryorick831]

Howling Man, Night Call, the Shelter, and Willoughby are are great episodes too.

[@huha47]

I can certainly agree with you about the reboot series which CBS produced in the 80s as I was involved with it behind the scenes. I think there were a couple individual stories which were okay, but the rest couldn't cut mustard. The original series can't be beat!

[@danieldavis3271]

I found in the episode the absolute man the message government had proved their is no god but in the end the man sentenced tricked the judge / state into facing a certain death snd the judge cracked cried out to god and the whole thing was televised ! That’s why it’s considered preachy but it’s a great episode !!! My favorite is the howling man it’s just creepy and I love the way it’s filmed .

[@donnadrane4977]

Love the Twilight Zone, but only the original!

[@Lovebatsinthebelfry]

I completely agree!

[@RunThemAll]

Good list. I like The 7th is Made Up Of Phantoms, 100 Yards Over The Rim, and Dust. I love the Sci-Fi channel Marathons on the Holidays....

[@chaturongarchary9773]

The real thing never dies...

[@franknitty43]

Thanks for making this video! The Twilight Zone is a timeless classic, I hope future generations get exposed to it. I think +50% of my top 10/HM would be different then yours which is reflective of how much this show has to offer.

[@johnotoole5786]

So ahead of its time with personal perspecruv3

[@brianlivolsi2219]

Keep up your great work. I very much Enjoy the TWILIGHT Zone also. They will be around for another 60 plus years.

[@Noycey64]

No mention of The Invaders episode with Agnes Moorhead. One of the all time classic episodes. I agree with most of the episodes your list though.

[@Lovebatsinthebelfry]

Solid point. It’s really hard to pick them, there’s a ton of good episodes that I didn’t mention

[@Jimmersaunt]

My all time favorite is To Serve Man! The twist is flipping amazing!

[@AbrasiousProductions]

I've considered making my own top 10 lists for the twilight zone as well, except I'm picking 10 episodes from each season, it'll be a five part thing

[@sealy3]

The Invaders 1961 Agnes Moorehead When a woman investigates a clamor on the roof of her rural house, she discovers a small UFO My favorite episode!

[@daleszajek2999]

two that evoke anxiety...Little Lost Girl, and the Invaders and one that delivers an ending with an unexpected loving kind of chill....Ring-a-Ding Girl

[@sealy3]

The shelter is a rehash of the Æsop Fables - The Ant and the Grasshopper. The doctor was the ant the neighbors were the grasshoppers. The best time to prep for trouble is yesterday. The second best time is now.

[@wisewoman5245]

I enjoyed your commentary and I totally share your sentiments on all of the programming.....

[@debbieanne7962]

A tip. Do more videos on the Twilight Zone! Rank them or give a commentary of the episodes.oh no. The Obsolete Man is way back years!

[@Jimmersaunt]

Interesting note about The Masks-it was directed by Ida Lupino. It was the only episode directed by a woman, but that’s not why I love it-it’s phenomenal and has a great moral lesson!

[@rp7r54]

SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT TELEVISION SHOWS OR SERIES IN THE 1950S AND 1960S WERE BETTER. A LOT OF WORK AND CREATIVITY WERE USED TO WRITE THEM.

[@paulagwhyte1720]

I agree!

[@abbynormal5849]

Thanks for your effort

[@moth7457]

I like, Little Girl Lost, but I have a thought. That can still happen NOW, after Poltergeist and Stranger Things have been played. And it would be less believable then.

[@vernsmart5447]

The Twightlight Zone The call verry good.

[@verybigkittens7550]

one film or short story I saw 40 years or more ago. Not sure if it was english usa 1950s 1960s. Very Alien looking creatures. A man lies in a hospital bed, has a bedside light projected onto a wall. There are transparent Amoeba typ creatures projected onto the wall. They are talking to him, asking him to join them, a nurse comes into the ward and knocks the light to one side, so the images of the creatures are lost. Later on he has an ear operation and can't hear them any more and goes back to his wife. I have never seen it since and can't remember what it is called.

[@carolzerucha7429]

Have you read “Everything I Need to Know I Learned in the Twilight Zone” by Mark Dawidziak? Excellent!

[@Lovebatsinthebelfry]

I have not, it sounds cool though!

[@dixiedarr700]

What about The Invaders with Agnes Moorhead?

[@PhilipDarragh]

My favorite Ep is Man in the Bottle, with Luther Adler. He gets 4 wishes. This Ep proves that U hv 2B careful what U wish 4. Bcz U just might get ur wish! To the person who mentioned Ida Lupino. Watch the 1950s movie The Hitch Hiker. IL directed it. IL was also in an Ep of Columbo. Along with Johnny Cash. It is vy good. Just like all the Columbo Eps. IMVHO.
