The Grave is my all-time favorite. Spooky and a reunion of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence. There's a couple that, to me, are good but too cliched now. Nightmare at 20,000 feet, To Serve Man, It's a Good Life (though Billy Mumy makes it worthwhile).

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?
Personal Faves
The Lonely
Time Enough At Last
I Shot An Arrow Into The Air
The Hitch-Hiker
The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street
People Are Alike The World Over
A Stop At Willoughby
The Howling Man (all time favourite)
Eye Of The Beholder
Nick Of Time
The Invaders
A Hundred Yards Over The Rim
The Silence
The Shelter
The Grave
It's A Good Life
Deaths-Head Revisited
Five Characters In Search Of An Exit
To Serve Man
The Dummy
The Little People
Printer's Devil
The New Exhibit
Of Late I Think Of Cilffordville
Steel
Nightmare At 20,000 Feet
Living Doll
The 7th Is Made Up Of Phantoms
The Long Morrow (2nd favourite of all time)
The Masks
Stopover In A Quiet Town
Awesome list.
I thought 'Talking Tina' - aka - 'Living Doll' was a half hour
Noticed you didn't have 'Night of the Meek' on there - seems to get crapped on because of the way it was shot - I think it adds to the charm of the episode.
It's one about the Santa who's down on his luck and is granted a magic bag of presents - I've watched it every Christmas for years upon years.

Nightmare at 20,000 feet, To Serve Man, It's a Good Life (though Billy Mumy makes it worthwhile). The Grave is a truly spooky one - get it going every Halloween.
Now I would never put my hand on a child - I don't even believe in spanking your own child to correct them - but Billy Mumy just had a face you wanted to punch - which made him great in those roles.

Do that and it's into the cornfield for you.
The newer TZ did a sequel, "It's Still a Good Life". Anthony Fremont is all grown up and had a daughter. Billy Mumy and Cloris Leachman reprise their roles and Anthony's daughter is played by Billy Mumy's daughter.

 , BUT on Netflix...NOT on SYFY (although the ONE drawback is that Netflix DOESN'T have season four, the hour-long episodes).

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.

- Oh I love it and watch it every Xmas, I have over the years introduced many people to it and they always come out with positive thumbs up for yuletide warmth. Yes it's one of the episodes shot on videotape, which actually has never bothered myself.

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. you seen this one?

I think William Shatner is a shitty actor. Garbage. The TZ episodes, that space soap opera he was in (name escapes me), TJ Hooker (  )
Then I watched Boston Legal. OK, Shatner COULD act.

'Mirror Image' on right now
I don't recall this one
'Millicent Barnes thinks it's a prank when someone keeps moving her suitcase around within a bus terminal. With Vera Miles'
I think that was the chick in Psycho, no?

The one were the astronauts land on the 'graveyard' asteroid and end up being killed by the groundkeeper.

It's called Neapolitan. We used to get it when I was a kid. The chocolate and vanilla would disappear and the poor strawberry stayed.

'The Mighty Casey' is wrapping up
'Casey is a left-handed pitcher who can help a baseball team out of last place.'
