Can't Help Myself - Twighlight Zone Marathon

[llowry61]

Not sure if anyone else runs into this issue, but I have to watch them whenever they are on. Seems like there is always an episode or 2 that I either never saw or just forgot about. It is an addiction.

Pretty advanced for late 50's early 60's. I get a kick out of seeing all of the famous folks when I am sure they were young and getting started. Some of them look like kids! I guess we were all young once !

Loved that show. Rod Sterling; what a mind that man had..

The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits were favorites in the 70's.

Pvt. Serling's pre-writing résumé.

Some of the retro TV channels still run the series. I think I saw all, or nearly all, episodes the first time around. Noted as being a breeding ground for then-unknown or little known actors and actresses who later became more famous. Also for some who had passed their popularity peak somewhat earlier. All probably worked cheap.No continuing characters aside from Rod Serling himself.

I have seen all of them except I'm not sure if I have seen all of the 1 hour episodes that were made for the 1964 season. I think it was 1964.

That's some real TV there. Not the mindless twaddle garbage slung around today.

Often my favorite part of an episode is Serling's opening and closing narration. "The Dummy", "Mr. Garrity and the Graves" are among the best.

I think I've seen all of them. I notice that some stations clip a few minutes in order to stack on more commercials. I like"Walking Distance" and the scene with Ron Howard is usually missing.

"Walking Distance" is one of the few time travel episodes from any series that actually lines up correctly and where the story line doesn't treat people as foolish.

We are still at it. Will probably be able to make it to midnight or so. Looks like it goes all weekend on SyFy channel.

That picture of Art Carney is from "The Night of The Meek" 1960. It hasn't played yet. They are not playing in episode order.

Just like Rawhide. Some future star was in that one - I think

Big TZ fan since the '60's, and even got my daughters into it. I too enjoy seeing all the not-yet-famous actors getting their chops in. Over the last hour and a half there's been Burgess Meredith, Fritz Weaver, Peter Falk, Lee Marvin, Strother Martin and Lee Van Cleef, along with a few familiar but unnamed faces. I've seen them all but still watch them whenever they are on.

 

[BKLooney]

My favorite episode is "The Grave" which aired on Oct 27, 1961 (I was a month old!). It was packed with some of the best actors!

Lee Marvin, Strother Martin, Lee Van Cleef, James Best, William Challee, Stafford Repp, Larry Johns, and Ellen Willard!

Just watched one with Elizabeth Montgomery, she was quite a looker back in the day. She was pretty in Bewitched, but a hottie in 1960.
