The Twilight Zone: Still Valley
I remember hating history class as a kid in grade school. “Mom, why do we have to learn history? It’s already happened!” I was a futurist. There was an announcement when I was a young man, maybe around 18, that … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: Deaths-Head Revisited
I have always felt bad for cowards. I mean, maybe it’s because I can relate to what it’s like to be frightened of something that later proves to be so carefree, but cowardice is natural. What isn’t natural is for … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: It’s a Good Life
It’s a Good Life is one of those Twilight Zone episodes I’ve seen dozens of times before, but when you plan on writing about a show, you see it again as if for the first time. You notice things that … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: The Mirror
Well holy cow, it’s Peter Falk as a dictator. I can’t believe my luck! Hold on… I’ll try to keep it together, but we might need pictures! This might be the greatest Twilight Zone of all time, but that’s because … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: The Passersby
When The Passersby started, I rolled my eyes because it was immediately apparent that we were in for another of those historical stories. I get the impression that Serling was a fan of history and like writing about it in … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: The Shelter
It sounds a bit like a riddle: how do you destroy a society without laying a finger on it? I don’t know; you probably get the idea. But Rod Serling answers that with The Shelter. The problem is that, like … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: The Arrival
The Arrival opens up with a teaser that we are about to see the tail end of a long mystery around strange airline flight. Yes, this is another Twilight Zone episode that focuses on an airplane! However, this opening serves … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: The Obsolete Man
As we come to the end of season 2, we are greeted with Burgess Meredith playing another bookish character (Time Enough At Last), but he’s a far more likeable one this time around. In fact, this is another strong contender … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?
I remember reading that Will The Real Martian Please Stand Up? was one of the top 10 episodes of The Twilight Zone and unfortunately, there was a picture of the Martian with his 3rd eye next to the review, so … Continue reading
The Twilight Zone: The Mind and the Matter
Back in the early 90’s, I was just over 20 years old and would spend the weekends with my friends. We started out most Friday nights with a movie then we’d grab dinner and hang out all night often with … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: The Silence
For the love of God, Serling is doing it again: he’s so fascinated with jerks that it seems like the only type of character he’s writing about this season. Ok, I know he’s not solely doing that, but give me … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: The Rip Van Winkle Caper
I’m glad I’m nearly done with season 2; I need a break soon. I’ve been watching in a way I never had before. When I was a kid, I watched with my family – mostly my cousins and my dad … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: A Hundred Yards Over the Rim
I don’t recall ever seeing A Hundred Yards over the Rim before but I did predict what was happening within the first few minutes of the episode. Normally, I’d roll my eyes, but not this time; I was sold completely. … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: Mr. Dingle, the Strong
Despite not being very good at it, or perhaps using the wrong forum for it, Rod Serling insists on writing comedy for The Twilight Zone. Yet again we’re left with that sense that, had we had a few more minutes, … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: The Odyssey of Flight 33
Now this is more like it. Rod Serling has been hitting us with a number of characters of questionable merit, and ironically it ties in with a discussion I’ve just been having with friends. In a discussion of Resident Alien … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: Twenty Two
Twenty Two isn’t the first time that Rod Serling introduces us to a flawed character, this time in the form of Liz Powell. She’s a nervous wreck suffering from a nightmare that she refuses to believe is a nightmare. It’s … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: The Whole Truth
I guess I can’t fault Rod Serling for aiming for some comedy from time to time. I spend a good deal of my time being whimsical and playful. Why should Serling only write dark drama? He’s as entitled to humor … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: Back There
Really though, what’s the likelihood that The Professor from Gilligan’s Island (Russell Johnson) would be in another time travel episode of The Twilight Zone? Well, clearly the likelihood was quite high because he’s back for that very thing. Last time, … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: Dust
The Western has never been my thing. Barring Tombstone, which was excellent despite being very true to form, most Westerns have some good scenes but are usually all about violence and revenge. I don’t mind a good revenge movie, but … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: The Night of the Meek
It’s a funny thing: I knew this episode was coming and I was bummed. As a kid, this was one of my least liked episodes. Art Carney, who I loved in The Honeymooners with Jackie Gleason, stars as Henry Corwin, … Continue reading
