Favorite Twilight Zone or Outer Limits Episodes

[FaulkSF]

I saw this posted in another thread. As a child, I remember Faulk Sr. would grill chicken on Thanksgiving weekend and we’d watch the Twilight Zone marathon.

These are great memories akin to watching YouTube highlights of the Greatest Show on Turf. There were many great episodes, but two of my favorites were The Box and Gremlin on the Wing.

The Box was later made into a movie. Gremlin had a gig actor at the time, who became very famous.

TLDR: Leave your favorite sci-fi episodes here.

The Burgess Meredith Twilight Zone episode where he is left all alone with all of his books and then breaks his glasses and can’t see

The Twilight Zone episode “The Grave” was my favourite.

 

[Memento]

Deaths-Head Revisited. As an ethnic Jewish woman, it gave me legit chills, and the Nazi officer getting exactly what he deserved was beautiful, poetic, amazingly-acted with all roles.

 

[Merlin]

The one where he's walking down a road and one path won't let him take his dog. So he goes the other path that does allow the dog and good thing.

There were so many good twilight zone episodes.

Outer Limits - I like the one where the guy had a computer for a hand and was missing fingers with the information in it where all the people on earth in the future had gone.

Twilight Zone - "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up"
Outer Limits - "Soldier"

So many great episodes. My favorite though was "To Serve Man". I laughed so hard at the end. Humans are stupid!

Just too hilarious. What would the recipes be? A hand sandwich? A foot long? Richard Kiel was perfect in his role too!

Kiel was perfect.
He was a scene stealer for sure.

And then I watched Police Academy 2 where towards the end the guy who finds out it is a cookbook is running around screaming it is a cookbook when the people are screaming to get out of the building from the bomb.

I think I was one of the few people in the theatre who got that reference lol.

I don’t remember that at all.
But I haven’t seen that movie since it came out, lol.

Oops not Police Academy - Police Squad 2 with Leslie Neilson

Edit - Naked Gun 2 1/2 based off Police Squad TV series

When I was probably 8 or 9 years old I was watching an episode with my brother and sister. It was the one where an ugly creature was on the wing of a plane. At the end when the guy slowly reached for the curtain, them quickly pulled it open the creature's face was right there at the window. My sister ran into the other room. Me and my brother jumped up from the floor. Scared the crap out of us. The movie years later remade that episode with John Lithgow as the guy who was tormented by the creature. Oh, the guy in the original episode was a young William Shatner.

I loved that episode. Truly, The Twilight Zone is probably the best series on television that I have ever seen. I became aware of Rod Serling and his work first with Night Gallery and loved it. I became aware of TZ and Outer Limits about the same time with Twilight Zone rocking my world.
Serling was definitely affected by his WW2 service and Death-Head Revisited was a classic,
