A Hundred Yards Over The Rim. Chris wears a sweet hat!
It's really funny gbone that you brought up Chris's wonderful top hat here too .
Many decades ago before the internet and
when I first watched this episode I didn't know what the title of this episode was
so I used to call this TZ episode The Man in the Top Hat and Wagon Episode .

I think these guys slept a bit too long
just like I did this morning .
A hundred years ? A LOT can happen
and change in that vast amount of time .
IMPO - It should have been maybe 40 or 50 perhaps ?

IMPO - It should have been maybe 40 or 50 perhaps ? Not long enough for me. My head hurts! That truck started right up after 100 years. They sure don’t make em like they used to.

So sorry your head hurts this morning here drink plenty of water and have a couple of Advil
that always does the trick for me here when that happens .
I know right gbone very good point there the truck fluids would have most likely
all dried up way before 100 years .

A bet between 2 colleagues
both who got more than either one bargained for there .
Definitely a lesson learned episode and a good one too .

Long Distance Call. Another video tape soap opera looking episode. Surprised this got aired for its time with a kid trying to kill himself multiple times.
I guess the grandmother was a bit of a bad influence
OR perhaps very lonely or desperate after death
to have company in the after life .

DID the makers of the Anthony Hopkin's film Magic get their idea from THIS episode? wouldn't be the first time a movie got ideas from this show
I totally agree with you here Jay
and RiP, IMDb it doesn't seem unheard of either
a lot of good story inspirations seem to be from
this wonderfully clever and timeless show .

It's like the old saying especially with certain people like this - " money talks " or like the old song " Money makes the world go round " .

The Silence is great. The last bit is so chilling. It's very layered with the lying, the inability to shut up and then the wife who "wants it all." Good stuff!

For main character Adam Grant
it's a crazy horrific nightmare to never awake from
but to be repeated over and over
( or is it something more perhaps ? ) .
IMPO - Actor Dennis Weaver was certainly at his top notch best in this episode too ( and yes folks that's the actor who played in the movie - DUEL from 1971 ) .

I call this one My Bad Mood Episode but I believe we all here have
had unhappy moments like this
and wished we could get away from it all .
Of course as the storyline goes too much
of a certain thing doesn't always
work out for the best either .

as his character Mr. Romney Wordsworth
he is quite honest , pleasant , very brave , and most intelligent especially with facing his unwilling demise in this episode as well .
IMPO - It's definitely a most memorable TZ episode that speaks volumes also .

I totally agree here on all points even episode grade wise bunnywriter .
The only thing I could never understand is
why some people are so uncomfortable with this particular episode .
It seems to speak volumes of truth and on so many levels after all .

Next up the TZ Episode - Two
IMPO - This intriguing storyline has a very futuristic feel of
the Adam and Eve story
I actually watch these 2 TZ Episodes
back to back on DVD once in awhile also .
