Claude Akins also appeared in another twilight zone episode, called. “The Little People.” He played a rocket ship commander, repairing his ship on an asteroid, when his copilot counterpart encounters beings that is big as ants. He is not interested in what his copilot is doing. He just wants to repair the ship. When it comes time to leave, his copilot is able to stay behind. That was a very interesting episode as well.

Claude Akins and Simon Oakland were very popular character actors who had a similar build and gruff alpha-male presence. Two of my favorites. And both were great in their respective Twilight Zone episodes. Simon Oakland was terrific in the Rip Van Winkle Caper, one of my all time favorites. The ending of this Claude Akins episode, where it is explained that the aliens are pitting humans against each other to more easily take over earth, reminds me of the Star Trek episode Day of the Dove (TOS) where the alien stirs up natural hatreds between the Enterprise crew and Klingons to feed on the emotions of hate and eternal conflict. This theme has been reworked and used in many stories. Good stuff.

Monsters are Due..., and Will the Real Martian Please, Stand Up are some of my favourites, along with Little Girl Lost, and the one where the guy on a prison planet gets a robot. This series was absolutely fantastic. I really love The Outer Limits, too. About those studio backlots, I've been noticing them since I was about 6 years old, in the 1960's. Samantha lived next to Jeannie and Hazel, and the Andersons sold their house to CPT Nelson. Mr. Wilaon fell into the fountain at the park where Hazel played baseball and Samantha tried to save it. Too bad all those lots were demolished. I was at Universal in the 1990's and saw some of the "houses."

Another familiar face in this episode is Jan Handzlik as Tommy! He played the young version of Patrick Dennis in the 1958 movie "Auntie Mame" with Rosalind Russell! Another alumni from the movie was Fred Clark who starred in "A Most Unusual Camera"!

[@renafan3333]

I never actually saw a Twilight Zone until not this past Saturday the one before. It was about these 2 Astronauts that there ship broke down and they had to fix it. And in some water one of them found a whole World of little amoeba sized people that he could get to do things for him. He went crazy and decided he was their king. The other one who coincidentally was Claude Aikins,was tired of him trippin so he left him and went back to Earth. At the very end these 2 giant astronauts oblivious to him step on him and squash him. At the end the little people could have saved him but they were sick of him too so they were like "Nah We're Good"

[@sauluribe7082]

I know this is a Twilight Zone fantasy but one of the strangest thing about this Maple street scenario is how isolated that street residents really are with the rest of the town. No beaurals or other people coming in but all power and communication is disabled.

[@overtaxedcitizen4975]

Love your stuff Rick. “Stopover In A Quiet Town” was written by Earl Hamner, Jr. who you are aware is best known for creating The Waltons.

[@randynutt5660]

WOW! Earl Hamner Jr. ! I did not know that!

[@lazyhomebody1356]

​@@randynutt5660Yes and he wrote MANY. I have a book of his TZ scripts

[@perry3928]

Great stuff. The Twilight Zone and Outer Limits. Two of the best shows ever.

[@Avery_4272]

Thanks, Rick - cool video, as always! Btw, years after the Maple Street episode, two of the actors in it coincidentally had a significant connection with Alan Alda: Jack Weston (the neighbor named Charlie) was in Alda's 1981 hit movie, The Four Seasons, and a 25-year-old Burt Metcalfe (the neighbor, Don) later became a writer for M*A*S*H! I love those coincidences. :-)

[@KoshN]

My favorite episode of the Twilight Zone (1959-1964) was "The Hunt" (S3E19, 01/26/1962). My favorite episode of the Twilight Zone (1985-1989) was "Paladin of the Lost Hour" (S1E7, 11/08/1985).

[@rager1969]

Oooohh, THAT'S how I know Claude Akins.

[@dr.ashida6808]

Neighborhood is also used in episodes "World of Difference" and "The Shelter".

[@cottoncandyfriends8933]

I really liked Claude Akins *sp?* In the Twlight Zone episode & the ones (plural) in I Love Lucy! Candy 💜

[@douglasrock9414]

Hey, Rick. Just noticd a Munsters blooper. You've probably mentioned this one but here goes. First season in 'My Fair Munster', at 22:42 Herman hits the living room floor and the top of his head flaps open. I'm sure this has been seen by MANY people.If you have not you could do a little video. thanx for all your great videos.

[@sallyn2393]

Both great episodes, I probably liked Stopover a bit more. I’m a huge Twilight Zone fan, so I love when you cover any episode. Thanks for all the Halloween content, it was very enjoyable. Happy Halloween!🎃👻💀

[@normbittner3762]

It's fun to see all the folks and things in episodes of so many shows back in the 60's to early 80's. They are easy to spot now because we can watch them whenever we want, back-to-back and even side to side if we like and then compare, etc. Back then an episode aired, and you wouldn't see it again until reruns- so hard to notice those things.

[@gailwatson4927]

Thank you Rick. Happy Halloween! I loved both episodes.

[@Luvoldmovies-Kat.St.Aug.]

Happy Halloween Rick 🎃💀😱🍬🍭🍫. From Fla🦩🐊

[@aviatortrucker6285]

Hey Rick, I would like you to do a video on the twilight zone episodes that all relate to time travel. My favorite ones are back there, walking distance, and of late I think of Cliffordville, oh and of course 100 yards over the rim.

[@jimlassiter749]

at 3:52 there is the unusual rooftop... ive seen it before... munsters...????

[@johnmcjunkin4613]

The number 1, all-time, most scariest movie, is.... Steele Magnolias.

[@marklafrance8141]

Superb episode! Absolutely Outstanding!

[@nickimontie]

I love this episode of Twilight Zone. And human nature is still the same, unfortunately. This has been a great series, Rick! Rick. Will you do a similar series for Christmas shows?

[@aviatortrucker6285]

If you want to see something parallel along those lines, look up the twilight zone, episode “The Shelter”, and you will see human behavior and how it relates to the same way it is today.

[@alfredodoardi2717]

love this episode - also staring Barry Atwater (Surak, Dracula, from trek and the nightstalker, respectively), and the guy from dirty dancing, and the fish and mr limpett. The kid was a good actor too..

[@jillmorgan7309]

I always try and watch the Twilight Zone Marathon on New Year's Day and 4th of July on TV. I love it.

[@ddavenpAZ]

Great video! Always love the behind the scenes info. Because you asked, there are scenes I would like for you to comment on, and those would be the scenes on that one actor’s shirt, the actor who was standing next to Claude Akins in the photo you used. There’s a story there I tell ya! 😜

[@carolynharmon7074]

Love the Twight Zone.

[@atreb56]

Liked both shows equally.

[@marlenepearson3936]

Thanks Rick 😊 I had an Uncle (married into the family) that look alot like Claude Akins. They even died around the same time 😮 No Halloween livestream 😔?

[@byronbrewer33]

Thank you, Rick, these videos were awesome! Made my Halloween and look forward to them every year. Can't wait to see what you have compiled for next year! Stay hopeful.

[@ricknineg]

Glad you like them!

[@ElmoUnk1953]

Good story telling Rick.

[@PamperedPetz]

Wow Thanks Rick‼️

[@cadeevans4623]

Such a great show and a great episode I remember this one very well great story

[@popculturecurator]

Another great video!

[@ricknineg]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@5starubercar698]

That’s also jack weston as one of the neighbors.

[@vintagemarie2391]

Did I see Andy Hardy walking in the background?🤣

[@jamesniezgoda5454]

Thanks Rick.

[@antdell8730]

Very informative commentary. I like this episode...especially the part where I swear it sounds like one of the ladies drops the S - bomb 😅.

[@acelarson1872]

Weird I was thinking right off the bat that they filmed there 2 times, both great episodes thanks Rick.

[@melissawalker3888]

Claude Akins was a great character actor and vastly underappreciated in my opinion. However, he did play a VERY good bad guy a little too convincingly for my taste.😟 But I can still appreciate his acting talent and have always said the best actors and actresses are the character actors.

[@alphonsocarioti512]

My fav episode, followed by The Shelter. I love psychological episodes.

[@Jared_Wignall]

It’s always cool to learn something new. Keep up the great work Rick, take care and Happy Halloween!

[@brett238]

Yes

[@ricknineg]

Same to you

[@marksanders7704]

"That was great, the Twilight Zone delighted grownups and kids alike!'

[@bennemer489]

Rick, were these some to house facades you referenced in a prior episode that were torn down?

[@ricknineg]

No, this MGM lot has been torn down for probably 20 plus years. There’s a shopping center there now and yes, I’ve shopped there knowing I was on prior MGM property

[@randywalton9866]

Sheriff Lobo from BJ and the Bear

[@MsBackstager]

Why waste a good set. In theater productions, that's what is often done.

[@mrfloxin]

Claude Atkins will always remember for playing Sherriff Lobo on BJ And The Bear and Lobo. He went to go on Murder, She Wrote as guest star. Rick: You have a nice day and Happy Halloween for sure!

[@ricknineg]

Blessings! Have a great Halloween

[@karltork6040]

I'll always remember him as truck driver "Sonny Pruett" on "Move'in On" theme song by Merle Haggard.

[@randynutt5660]

Just wondering if the 'Anytown, U.S.A.' set was used for the 'Leave it to Beaver' show? It looks similar.

[@alexvaliansky7707]

Leave It To Beaver was shot at Universal, not MGM.

[@brett238]

Yes@@alexvaliansky7707

[@billbucktube]

👍

[@MikesFoggyIdea]

l always thought they used real neighborhoods and just rented the houses while filming.

[@booboolips6053]

Did people actually wash their cars in long sleeve button up shirts and slacks? I go to work more casual than that.

[@damin9913]

Don't care for the secret i still watch them

[@GODCONVOYPRIME]

Are both episodes connected?

[@queenmarynovelwriter5397]

Happy Halloween!

[@ricknineg]

Same to you!

[@mamas.8259]

Happy Helloween🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

[@ricknineg]

Same to you!

[@NicoTineman]

Stopover In A Quiet Town is in Season 5, but it is episode 22, not 30

[@ricknineg]

Incorrect. An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge is 22. 30 is SIAQT

[@NicoTineman]

@@ricknineg you are correct... Amazon Prime has them listed in the wrong order.

[@NicoTineman]

@@ricknineg Of course ricknineg is correct. I don't know why Amazon Prime got the episodes listed out of sequence. I was watching a lot of Twilight Zone episodes the last few days. That show was quite dark! I remember the first time I saw them as a child, and they gave me nightmares then, and still do! TV shows used to be much more violent with a very high body count.

[@roberttelarket4934]

I didn't like this episode. Was not interesting!

[@blakepace]

Location, Location, Location

[@ricknineg]

Mentioned in the video. MGM Studios, Culver City, CA

[@brett238]

Yes@@ricknineg

@@ricknineg I knew that; I was trying to make a Joke combining Real Estate and Show Business Production Lingo. Obviously, I failed. 😮‍💨
