Too bad the peddlar didn't meet Mr Beemis first and suggest he get a pair of shatter proof glasses! Haha!

[@LoesserOf2Evils]

I have not given The Twilight Zone much consideration. Now, in light of Ric’s commentaries, I’ll have to. By the way, the other headline - “Strong Opposition to Tax Proposal” - is still relevant.

[@Beagle3561]

Great catch, and great theory, Rick! I would love it if the producers/directors ACTUALLY made it that way, and were waiting for someone (like you) to discover the newspaper. I actually think it was budgetary.. Why make another newspaper when the prop master can just go to the CBS/Twilight Zone prop room and pick up "a newspaper." Maybe they had a few there and that was the first one on the stack. No one was expecting anyone to discover it in the days of low definition broadcast television. I love "Time Enough at Last.." Starring the multi-talented Burgess Meredith, a Twilight Zone veteran.

[@jhonwask]

I'd neer noticed that the paper was used in 2 episodes. On Bewitched, there is a magazine Endora likes to read: Harpies Bizarre. That magazine was used in a few episodes.

[@im_agine852]

Like you said. It IS THE Twilight Zone, after all.

[@aviatortrucker6285]

I have noticed that among other things in different episodes. Here’s my theory. First of all, Mr. Bemis looks at the newspaper at lunchtime and it’s daylight. The nuclear holocaust happens on his lunch hour so later that evening, the small town crook would’ve not been able to see the newspaper as the city would’ve been destroyed. It’s just merely reusing a prop that nobody even gave a consideration to. I’ve noticed many twilight zone episodes where the street scenes are the same. That is in the small town setting of monsters are due on Maple Street, stop over in a quiet town, and even the episode where the individual could not find anybody around and was actually an astronaut in a test facility with his mind playing games on him. I think it’s called where’s everybody?

[@joshuaingram571]

The show had a real shoestring budget. What they were able to do with it was a miracle. I miss the use of real practical effects.

[@aviatortrucker6285]

@@joshuaingram571 remember, during the opening sequence, they were using a cheesy art class mannequin to fly through the air instead of animation.

[@williampetersen9915]

Cool video; good catch. I really enjoy these types of videos that show repurposed props or locations appearing in other productions. In the 1943 movie Cabin In The Sky, there is a night club called Jim Henry's Paradise. The outdoor sign later shows up in 2 Twilight Zone episodes: Execution & Printer's Devil

[@rager1969]

Hmm, never noticed that, but then the TVs didn't have great resolution in the 1980s when I was a keen eyed lad. It's interesting to ponder: maybe that street vendor's ability went away and as a result, the H-bomb went off.

[@lazyhomebody1356]

or maybe...total anihilation was what we really wanted...😮

[@silversprings62]

Wow!!! Good eye!! I never would have noticed that. I like both episodes, but “Time enough at last“ is hands-down, probably my favorite Twilight Zone episode of all time. At least it’s in my top 5🌀🌀🌀

[@kevinmiller6380]

silversprings-How many people do you know of that look for goofs in a TV show/movie?

[@tigerman3]

Nice to dream about that possibility but it was more than likely that the producers of TZ were saving $$ in re-using props from episode to episode. You might be surprised to find that same newspaper or other props showing up in other shows as well.

[@shannonmanley9217]

Another Great Video, it is interesting that the very same news paper is shown in a later episode. Merry Christmas Rick to you and your family.

[@deslocc124]

I liked the one about the guy giving people what they needed.. the woman a book of matches.. and a phone number to a talent agency.. giving her a new job.. :-) as well as a Bus ticket to get her there. .. As for the second guy.. he got new shoes.. with slick soles.. but it was not really what he wanted.. but the guy with the box.. wanted.. to get him 'out of his life'..

[@tigger06]

I've seen every episode numerous times. I did notice that newspaper in Time Enough...don't remember if I did or not in 2nd one. But I don't think so. I thought it was so cool because it basically announced what was in fact going to happen that day. Just freaked me out. He didn't even look at it. And yea. It never surprises me that they use the same props over different episodes.

[@RaeAnn_1202]

I love the intros to your Christmas specials each year. So fun and cute. I love Twilight Zone. I agree - that is an underrated episode. Your attention to detail is amazing. Twilight Zone Newspaper … what an amazing theory!

[@roberttelarket4934]

As for Mr. Bemis it is not his wife will not let him read a newspaper let alone a book but the other way around not let him read a book let alone a newspaper(the "lesser" of the two).

[@aviatortrucker6285]

Plot holes are a common thing in the entertainment industry. Whether they are intentional or not is up to the producer/Director. Maybe even can be blamed on the editing department. Back to the future three was a good example of a plot that could’ve blown the whole storyline if you were following the other two episodes. in a quick observation, remember, the DeLorean got shot with an arrow and all the fuel leaked out. They couldn’t get it running so they put the DeLorean on the train track and used a steam locomotive to push it up to 88 mph. In reality, all had to do was go back to the cave where he put the DeLorean in the first place, it was only there for a week at that time in 1885. I just use that DeLorean after swapping the time circuits that were damaged on the original DeLorean to the one thatbrought back from 1955. With that you would’ve had no train, no, Clara, and pretty much they would’ve went home and that would’ve been the end of the movie.

[@jamesmurray8558]

I had a pair of old of glasses that when I bend over. They would break and I would say I had time now.

[@TheRetroEngine]

I reckon the later episode was set the day before the explosion. Beamis was reading yesterday's newspaper. Same universe.

[@bethdibartolomeo2042]

They just had the second episode on MeTV last night, I had forgotten about it. As a bookworm and someone who's worn glasses most of her life, I definitely relate so much better to the first episode, LOL.

[@lpdog82]

Very cool, I've seen this in other TV shows from back then, they reuse props in different episodes

[@marlenepearson3936]

Cool 😎 The Twilight Zone had its own daily paper 😮I'm glad they reused good props. Just like I Love Lucy did. 👍

[@roberttelarket4934]

We cannot possibly know the newspapers are the same unless we have some zooming ability!

[@Curtiz2008]

What You Need had been previously dramatized on TALES OF TOMORROW. Definitely a great story.

[@lauriemclean1131]

Great catch, Rick! Thank you for your very interesting videos. Merry Christmas!

[@silvereagle2061]

You have an eye for detail Rick. Amazing.

[@ddavenpAZ]

First off, great video and great theory. It got me thinking.🤔 Did both newspapers have a comics section? 😮 Ok, in all seriousness, you did mention you could play the guy who gives people what they need. Play him? You already are him! Through the Ricknineg channel, you give us memories, you give us laughter, you give us love, you give us hope, and you give us ways to broaden our minds and our perspectives! All things we need in real time, not Twilight Zone tv time. That to me is one of the greatest Christmas gifts we could ever receive. 👍🏻

[@CombatVetTom]

Enjoyed watching your video. Never noticed that before (same paper diff episode) COOL! God Bless....

[@DavidUrban-y3c]

Hey Rick just asking, is it safe to say that all Twilight Zone episodes, "The Living Doll", "To Serve Man", "Little People"etc are more or less in the same universe? Just wondering. Have a Merry Christmas everyone

[@lazyhomebody1356]

Yes, I think they are- some in our past some in our future,but Earth

[@Jared_Wignall]

It’s always cool to notice something that may not be exactly noticeable whenever one watches the episodes. Keep up the great work Rick, I hope you’re doing well. Keep up for great work, take care!

[@AlwaysHalloween000]

Reminds me of Pulp Fiction with interrelated stories that each have a different protagonist and are told out of chronological order. But although Serling was a genius i have a feelin the prop newspaper was just a coincidence. Also at 3:12 that's Arlene Martel who also played the creepy morgue nurse and flight attendant of the doomed airliner in the Twilight Zone Episode called > 'Twenty Two' Is she perhaps a succubus (female demon)? Sort of a female version of Randall Flagg in the Stephen King novels.

[@lazyhomebody1356]

That would be awesome! But I have seen the same actors over and over on all the old tv shows

[@AlwaysHalloween000]

@@lazyhomebody1356 True ,but it's still fun making Mountains out of Ant Hills ~ and as a side note I remember how Robert Deniro improvised that line "You talking to me" when he looked into the mirror in Taxi Driver and Scorsese said he was a genius. I just watched an old Twilight Zone episode the other day and the Gangster in the episode looked into a mirror in his Hotel Room and said the exact same thing. I bet Deniro is taking credit for something he saw on the Twilight Zone when he was younger.

Rick Nineg! Catch another gem on the same newspaper! When Mr. Renard looks at the horse racing form, freeze the picture! Look at the names of the jockeys! One of them is SERLING! (The creator of The Twilight Zone) And other names are included from workers on the TZ too!

[@Martin48964]

Hi Rick, Very interesting catch on the newspaper. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours.

[@Bigbuddyandblue]

Surely he could have found another pair of glasses in an optometrist office or store thar were close enough prescription to use for reading.

[@lazyhomebody1356]

Agree 100%

[@rogerscarlett8535]

Love catching prop re-uses (there are many), bloopers, anachronisms, etc. Here is one from “What You Need.” Right before they cut to the first commercial, watch the smoke from Fred Renard’s cigarette at the bar. The film is running backward and the smoke is going back into his cigarette. I have not found many folks who have caught that blooper.

[@kathymitchell4195]

I do remember the paper in the first story. I've not seen the second story. I did see the actress, Arlene Martel in the one story. She was on Hogan's Heroes many times. These videos are so fun to watch! Merry Christmas!

[@georgiahoosier]

That same basic newspaper with the identical banner was featured a lot back then. You can see it at the beginning of the movie "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" as well as its use in several first season episodes. Apparently that strong opposition to the proposed tax legislation continued for some time!

[@lordsgirl1123]

I was born in 1958 and well remember the Burgess Meredith episode. I always loved to read and the ending was so unexpected! I felt his pain and lauded in bed unable to sleep thinking of the irony. I’m sure the Newspaper was intentional. Rod Serling was a genius!

[@MrEsMysteriesMagicks]

Absolutely ridiculous theory. First of all, the newspaper in the second episode is shown so briefly that it's almost impossible to read it. If Serling had wanted us to "connect" the episodes, he would have made it more obvious. He was a goid enough scrjptwriterto know that the audience would need more than a fleeting glimpse of an obscure clue to fathom some deep meaning. They simply used the same newspaper in the second show because it was already available and they didn't have to pay for printing up a new one. In the old Andy Griffith Show, there's an episode where Aunt Bea learns to drive. Several episodes.later, Barney comes back to visit from his big job in Raleigh. He pulls into town in his new wheels (a secondhand Edsel 😂😂). His car has the exact same license plate that Aunt Bea's car had earlier. By your logic, Barney stole Aunt Bea's car and illegally used her plate. Sorry, but you're making way more out of this than is necessary. It was a simple production budget decision and nothing more.

[@rivaridge7211]

I do greatly recall both episodes, but the only thing I did notice about the newspaper (when Burgess Meredith held it) is the lack of a date (month, day, and year) on the newspaper itself - years back, I actually looked for it as I was curious if the newspaper date would closely correspond with the actual initial airing of the episode. If you look closely, you will see that In the place where the date normally appears, it simply says "Published Daily." Was this Mr. Serling's way of reminding us of the "timelessness" of the Twilight Zone?

[@roberttelarket4934]

Holy Shit! Unreal! The same newspaper!

[@lauriemclean1131]

Don't know that I would overthink the same newspaper / same day theory since the nuclear holocaust happened that day in the one TZ episode. Would be sad if the other episode ended THAT badly with everyone getting "offed."

[@Pygar2]

It's like Endora's "Harpies Bizarre"! Never goes out of date!

[@davidhull1481]

I watched TZ at the time of its original broadcast, and so I didn’t have the opportunity to Re-watch it until 40 years later. So no, I didn’t pick up on the coincidence. And as an extremely myopic kid who loved to read I identified with Burgess Meredith, and his problems, a lot.

[@al007italia]

Time Enough at Last is 1 of my favorite episodes. In part because I love reading. As for using the same newspaper, I wouldn't be surprised that they used the same prop. I would be surprised if it was an intentional attempt to tie the 2 into the same dimension, or at least time period in different dimensions.

[@cadeevans4623]

Another great episode I love Rick thanks for sharing and the info I'm learning great video

A Lot of items you will find from one show to another and another and another - It is cheaper. It is like this and makes watching the telly fun!

[@fanaticat1]

The corner that the guy was standing on...the guy who was selling what you need...for some reason, I thought of the Santa episode, where Art Carney found the sled & elf. It just adds to the theory that the props & towns get reused.

Thanks Rick, never noticed this. Love your investigations of these tidbits. I know I have not seen every one of your Lucy videos, but have something I noticed about one. It is the one with Harpo. I would like to ask you if you ever noticed what I have when watching it. However don't want to just write it here as if you have not, would love to see you do a great video on the mistake I have seen in that episode, as all your viewers would be surprised. Is there any way to get the info to you privately?

[@magi2]

Wow!!! I seen both episodes so many times and I never noticed that (that is way Cool) Now since this is the Twilight Zone the newspaper of course is the same paper and it could even be on the same day as for Time enough at last and the Christmas episode what you need simply were on the same day but on parallel worlds where one world simply was annihilated on that day and the other world simply avoided that fate (Think of the episodes like a episode of Sliders)

[@larrygrebler5054]

Sorry, even though this is funny. I think it was just a cheap prop used twice.

I thinkyour theory makes perfect sense . Two people could live in a different DIMENSION and live in the same town , even live a city block from each other or across town from each other .

Time Enough At Last is my favorite of the 2. But I enjoyed both.

[@Bippy55]

I’ve seen both episodes which are stellar in my opinion. But to me, the first one starring talented Burgess Meredith, appears to be comical. The second one, I have a great deal of sorrow and empathy felt for the sales person who’s getting picked on and pushed by somebody much stronger physically than he is. This leaves the wise sales person no choice but to defend himself.
