"The Shelter" was not on the list, but is one of my favorites. In short, it depicted a Cold War Era alert, where only one family in the neighborhood had a fallout shelter. The neighbors panicked, turned on the fellow who built the shelter, and turned on each other. A good essay in how fear can turn even neighbors into enemies.

Travesty that “Obsolete Man” was an honorable mention.

The thing I loved about the show was it had the cheapest special affects but was so well written and performed that it didn't matter.

The “Howling Man” is one of my favorites in the series along with the huntsman and his dog that we’re trying to get into heaven

The Hitchhiker was my grandpa. He was also a KAOS agent twice on Get Smart. But he was a really sweet and kind-hearted villain. 😁👍

Time Enough at Last was my first episode, viewed when I was maybe 8 years old. I was utterly devastated by the ending. The Twilight Zone was full of amazing tales, and holds up remarkably well, even to this day. How did "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up" not make this list?

I saw “Talking Tina” when I was about 7 yrs old or so, and from then on was always worried that if I mistreated any of my dolls, they would take revenge on me.

One of the greatest shows in television history.
It is a show they got right the first time.

The Twilight zone kicked ass, the remake in the 80's was great also but nothing can beat the classics from the 60's

[Glicksman]

"Walking Distance" has always been my favourite. The full circle of the story, the meeting of the adult and himself as a child and with his long-passed father gets me every time. The lesson is timeless.

I came here just to say this show was ahead of its time

"You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. Your next stop, the Twilight Zone." - Rod Serling

[nicktroisi]

My favourite is the first episode “Where Is Everybody?”

The reason I like it is because it is the most realistic episode in the series and one of the most terrifying. The reason is because it could very well happen

Imagine right now you suddenly just feel like you exist, you don’t remember a thing, you start walking and walking until you find yourself in a town but there’s no one in sight, not even a dog, cat or bird, there’s nothing. You shout for somebody, anyone, but there a no answer, you hear nothing. You walk around the town and then you start running, sweating, your heart beats faster and faster and faster. You start to question your existence and then find yourself a panic button and press it over and over as hard as you can until eventually you find yourself in a box banishing your bleeding hand against a glass monitor. Your actually in an Army Base surrounded by Military Personnel and Scientists and then remember everything who you are and where your from, everything becomes clear. Everything was all for a test and you were the lab rat.

Rod Serling was a genius. Loved this series.
