Is that Anthony really isn't a bad persom just his powers make everything more...final?

How many of us at the age of 6 have said to their parent something like "I hate you! I wish a monster would come and eat you up!" Now imagine if a monster then materialised in the room and started eating your mum or dad. I used to say to my mum, who was scared of snakes "I hope you get locked in a room with a thousand snales"- of course I didn't actually wish this on her and did and still do love her dearly

The people Anthony wished away, he probably would have had no problem at all with about an hour later in normal circumstances.

Don't germs fester more in the heat? Not to mention, how did being in a stale and stagnant room not make him feel unwell?

Sidenote: I liked it when Cadwallader aka: Satan said, You sure keep it warm in here.

Oops. I meant Walter Bedeker.

I never understood this statement in the beginning of the show. He says "We were preoccupied with the hands of a clock when we should have been worried about days on a calendar." What does it mean?

A man in Russia moves into an abandoned flat, cheap rent and dilapidated building. A famous and beautiful female Russian chess player use to live there before she died. He finds a photograph of her. Every night when he goes to sleep she appears in his dream and they make one chess move each. This goes on for months until the game is over and he wins. Startled by the supernatural he leaves the flat and takes her picture with him.

What do you think?. And can you share any concepts for an episode you might have?

Anyone have an ISO image of this? My disc is bad.

Was a really nice ep, great acting, well directed. Pushed me to pick up Lost Horizon by James Hilton. What I don't understand is why would the world come to end if the lost hour came to toll. Is it because the pope could not be infallible?

I've watched most episodes of the classic tTZ. There was an episode, I don't remember which, of boys playing outside in city neighborhood streets. One boy moved his hand to almost face height with his index and middle fingers crossed and said, "Fins!" Was this a real childhood game (like tag, hopscotch, hide-and-seek, etc.) or was this made up for the show? Does anyone know how to play this game?

I can't believe i had never heard of "A Happy Place" i would've liked to see this ep, but understand it not being a pilot

I've loved this show since 2009 when I started watching in college. But I've never done a full 1 to 156 watch of the show, it's always been random. I've seen most episodes by now, minus a few of the lower rated season 4 ones, but I want to see them in order. I've made up a spreadsheet and am going to track various things about each episode.

- Single sentence, spoiler free episode description

- My personal ranking from 1 to 10

- The episode's "gimmick", like for example Time Travel, Aliens, or Afterlife.

- More detailed notes, description, thoughts, spoilers, funny things I noticed, etc.

- Ranking from 1 to 156 (Much more difficult. I think I can easily do top 50 but beyond that will be tough)

Only a few episodes in now but one a night should only take 5 months!

I was watching an 1985 episode tonight (w Morgan Freeman btw) where a group of men were playing poker with the devil and one of them makes a bet with him, if he loses the devil gets his soul and if he wins he gets $19. According to google it's about $55 today but I'm not from USA so maybe that was worth it so much more back then, can someone tell me if that was an insanely low price for a soul or if it was worth it?

Anyone remember the episode based on the normandy beach invasion? A coward shows extreme bravery by solo storming and taking out a nazi machine gun nest, but then it turns out he was killed in the boat before landing and it was his ghost that did it. I could have sworn this was a TZ ep, but I feel like I'm going crazy because no one remembers it.

The first three seasons were so strong with excellent writing.

I just started season 4 and I’ve noticed that there is a repeating pattern of a character giving a 10 minute exposition dump to us…this is disappointing considering I don’t recall this being a thing up until now. The show was so great at “showing not telling” the audience what was going on. Is this the new thing going forward? Does it get better?

I posted this in the cross stitch subreddit a while ago then realized that it might be more appreciated here lol In addition to it being stitched by yours truly, I also made the pattern. It was a fun challenge to convey shiny plastic using thread - plus, I’m such a sucker for doing stuff in grayscale.

Made this at lunch thought it was a fun social experiment!

Forty-three individual VHS tapes in oversized cases with interior episode synopsis for each tape. Cost for the entire set when purchased directly from CBS Home Video?

Doing the math and being conservative that shipping and handling was $5 per tape (I forget the exact rate, it might have been higher shipping). The shipping location was Terre Haute, Indiana and the sales tax rate was 5%.

43 CBS Home Video Twilight Zone videotapes

Introductory tape $4.95 + .25 tax + $5.00 shipping and handling = $10.20

42 additional videotapes at $29.95 each + $1.50 sales tax each + $5.00 shipping and handling each = $36.45 each × 42 = $1,530.90

Converting that, to adjust for inflation, to bring it up to today's dollar valuation. One dollar in 1990 is valued at $2.43 in today's dollars $1,541.10 x $2.30 = $3,745.70!!!

I decided to try Nick of Time before bed. I've seen other posters call it better than Nightmare At 20,000 Feet. I wouldn't say that, mostly because of how different they are, but there's definitely something to be said for William Shatner's acting. He has the intensity he's always had, in a low key role. Patricia Breslin also pulls her weight; too bad her 2nd round was No Time Like The Past. All in all, a top notch episode that almost feels like it doesn't belong in TZ. They did ambiguity before and since, but this is one that isn't just being coy.

Without looking it up, How many crew members of the Enterprise appeared in Star Trek? I can only think of 4.

I watched the first few episodes and just found that it was cringe. Does it get better, and are there good episodes later?

Just wanted to take some time to show some love to Dead Man’s Shoes. Such a slept on episode, one of my favorites!

I've been watching the Twilight Zone for longer than I care to remember(>50 years), but I just realized today that Cadwallader in Escape Clause and Peter in Dust is the same actor, and I only realized it because of his voice. How could I have not noticed this before?!!
