I know I have seen them all, or thought so, but they are still better than any of the new junk on TV......

    I just watched Lee Marvin, Strother Martin, and Lee Van Cleef in the same episode. A western of course. Now that was some fine tv, from 1961.

    And on the other channel was The Batchelorette. We see how tv has fallen off into the septic tank over the decades.

    I think the actual title was "To serve man".

    Actually, this season I have seen a few episodes I never saw before.

    My very favorite? "The Hunt," followed by, "Death's Head Revisited."

    Willoughby

    Yep, "A stop at Willoughby" with James Daly is one of my favorites. I'd love to visit a small town in the 1890's.

    I think I heard that Rod Serling holds the record for winning most Grammy Awards for TV drama writing. And along with the actors and actresses who went on to become famous, I thought it was neat that at least one episode (dog falls into water, old owner follows it) was written by Earl Hamner Jr., later of "Spencers Mountain" and "The Waltons" fame.[:)]

    That was the best Twilight Zone of them all.

    My personal favorite episode was titled "Long Distance Call"

    Where a little boy keeps getting calls on his toy phone from his dead Grandmother.

    It is later discovered that a phone line is down and resting atop grandma's grave![:0]

    A great TV series that puts todays entertainment to shame.

    Wouldn't that be when the old woman was getting calls from her late husband, she kept answering during the storm and at the end the line was over his grave?

    I was 10, 11 years old when the Twilight Zone was on tv.
    All the boys at school watched every episode, and we spent the entire next day at school discussing the show of the night before.

    The episode where the three National Guardsmen get killed at Custer's Last Stand was fantastic. Us kids talked about that one for three weeks.
