Kudos to SYFY - they're running a TZ marathon - which they typically run New Years Eve/New Years and the 4th of July 
On right now -
'Walking Distance' (it's ending)
This was a good one folks - 'A man's need to escape the pressure of his work takes him back to his childhood'
Up next -
'Escape Clause' - A man afraid of death makes a pact with the devil for immortality

Walking Distance is my favorite episode.
I'm sure they'll get to "Where is Everybody?"

Walking Distance is my favorite episode. I'm sure they'll get to "Where is Everybody?" TZ can be hit or miss like all the anthology shows - Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Tales From the Darkside, Tales From the Crypt, etc -
On now is one of the better ones -
'The Hitchhiker' -
Driving cross-country, a girl keeps seeing the same hitchhiker on the road ahead.
Turns out she's been dead all along folks!

One of my all time favorite shows, they work best as a half hour show - season 4 was the one hour long versions which were the weakest (except for Talking Tina). I bring this up because of the new Tz produced by Jordan Peele, which is a piece of shit. Just awful, hour long pathetic attempts at TZs. Every single one sucked.

I read he's involved in the new Candyman.
I wasn't a big fan of the original - it kind of has a cult following - curious to see what he can do with it though.
Talking Tina's one of my favorites - wasn't aware it was an hour ep. - must be awhile since I've seen it.
Another one that's an hour off the top of my head that I greatly enjoyed - ever see the one about the museum worker who keeps the wax figures down in his basement? Title escapes me - but it was well done - at least for my tastes.

Who doesn't like the TZ? It's like ice cream. I've run across people who didn't like I Love Lucy, The Sopranos, Seinfeld (that's me!) but never someone who didn't like TZ
5 Characters in Search of an Exit. The ballerina was Susan Harrison. Had a big part as Burt Lancaster's sister in Sweet Smell of Success. Did nothing after. Small part in another movie to avoid being the next Alicia Rhett (Rhett made one movie. It was a biggie, Gone With the Wind). A couple TV parts.

Do they still do this -
Breyers used to sell ice cream with chocolate, vanilla and strawberry sectioned off in 1/3s
In Jim Mora's 'Playoffs' voice -
Strawberry?
Strawberry?
Who in their right mind would ruin chocolate and vanilla ice cream with the addition of strawberry?

With a bunch of older brothers and sisters like I had, usually by the time I got to the Neapolitan, all that was left was the strawberry, but hey, ice cream is still ice cream. |

Vanilla is great, vanilla bean is even better. Really, when it comes to ice cream, there's not much I say no to. Although the less stuff in it, the better for me. Some of those Ben and Jerry's flavors with 6 other things mixed in gets a bit much for me. Plain ice cream is perfectly fine. |

Fan of the coffee world - i.e. Coffee, Jamocha, Mocha Fudge?

Enough with the ice cream crap! Lets get back to the greatest TV show ever made!  Right, I'm British but part of my English Literature "O Level" submission was a thesis on The Twilight Zone (original series obviously), and I got a grade 2 which if I had wanted to would have gained me entry to try for an "A Level" marking. Which I didn't take, I liked to play football, go to Punk Rock concerts and date girls, further education was never on my agenda. I just wanted to prove some of my teachers wrong, and I did  I digress... Right, Talking Tina doesn't exist, it was called Living Doll and was a half hour episode, and brilliant it is as well. The episode Frogs? is on about is called The New Exhibit, an hour long episode from series 4 directed by the great John Brahm and starring reliable Martin Balsam. Of the hour episodes from season 4, this one is one of the best along with Printer's Devil, Miniature and the superb Of Late I Think of Cliffordville - at a push I would trumpet Valley of the Shadow, but mostly season 4 was a wash out.
The new TZ, as one of you has said, is just dreadful, the only thing it has going for it is the little prop nods to the original series.
Where Is Everybody was the pilot episode, so I'm surprised your station over there didn't show it first?
