Twilight Zone

Anyone here watch this classic sci-fi black & white show? I do! I have the whole series on DVD.

I've only every seen one episode...which we watched during school after reading the script from it because we were doing a sci-fi unit.

I watch if on Scifi (***** you SyFy) occasionally when it comes on, good show... First one I recall seeing was one with a man being sentenced to death for believing in god and being a librarian, great episode about how the state should not hold such influence.

Ah yes that episode was called "The Obsolete Man". Burgess Meredith and Fritz Weaver were both incredible in that episode.

I first became interested in the Twilight Zone because they kept making references to it on the Simpsons (the guy who sees a monster on the wings of a plane, the little boy who controls the town with his thoughts, the little girl lost in her bedroom, etc).
I think the first episode I ever saw was "Five People in Search of an Exit", and I remember being really scared to see the twist in "Eye of the Beholder" (but that was a great episode!)
What a wonderful/creepy show.

The first episode I saw was "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" in seventh grade. It was part of some unit on bullying, I think. I guess it relates, at least as far as scapegoating goes.

I watch SyFy's Fourth of July marathon every year. There's so many episodes I like, but the ones that standout to me the most are "Maple Street", "Midnight Sun" and two others I'm forgetting the names to. One is the one where the bookworm survives the nuclear attack and the other is about the girl at the bus station who sees a copy of herself.

The Twilight Zone is one of my absolute all time favorite television shows! I think it is wonderfully written, and each episode has some sort of point that's trying to be made... there's just so much depth to it.

There is one episode, I don't know the name of it, but I think the message in it is really awesome. It's about this woman who is in a department store looking for a specific item. She is told to go to the 9th floor to purchase it, and when she goes to that floor there is no one else there, and the item she is looking for is the only item for sale there. Then it turns out there is no 9th floor and she's actually not even a person at all, but she is actually a mannequin, and all the mannequins in the store take turns becoming a human for one month a year. She stayed a person for longer than the one month and got so caught up with being human that she forgot what she really was. I think this is trying to show how things are not always as they seem, and maybe you aren't the person you think you are.

Edit: I looked it up, the name of that episode is The After Hours.
