I love all of those!
I forgot about Jeff Myrtlebank and I Sing the Body Electric!  I like the one where these 2 kids have parents that are on the verge of divorce and they swim in their pool and find a place where tis lady "Aunt T" lives.  Cool one.  Just keep naming them, I like them!

The girl in that is Mary Badam, from "To Kill a Mockingbird". Her voice in the scenes with here parents is dubbed by June Foray.

The great thing about the show is that I am struggling to remember a poor one.....

As already mentioned, "Time Enough at Last" with  Burgess Meredith.

The Fever, (One with the Slot Machine) NIght of the Meek, Invaders, Bewitching Pool, (with the two Kids that Swim to  Aunt T's). The Hunt, (with the Old man and hunting dog  That Drowned) Walking Distance (about the Toy designer that goes back to his Childhood). Man Sorry to go on this long, Hard to pick just one.  :)

I have several favorite from The TWILIGHT ZONE.  My #1 fav is "Time Enough At Last".  "To Serve Man" is right up there.  There were so many fine episodes in this series that watching them again is like finding an old friend.  David

The Talking Tina one. Don't know the title but it's about a guy who wants to go back to a simpler time. Next stop is Willougby!
I'm surprised no one mentioned one I consider a classic. The Monsters on Maple St.

"A Stop At Willoghby" (Robert Parish, written by Rod Serling)--Your VERY right in considering this one a classic, if I didnt mention 3 favirotes already I wouldve have mentioned this (and now Im doing it anyway!). This is a great one...I feel bad for this guy everytime, and cant help but smile when he's in Willooghby.....gets me everytime!

Yes, and it turns out that his dead body is picked up by Willowbee funeral parlor.  That poor guy going back to his nagging wife everyday.  I would have been in Willowbee, too!
Bewitching Pool - They got June Foray to do the voice over because her accent was so Southern that it was difficult to understand her.

That's a big problem in that episode- June Foray's voice is too recognizable, and because of that, distracting.

It's impossible for me to hear her and not think of The Squirrel.

People have been saying that for years, but I don't believe it. Her voice is dubbed only in the poolside scenes with her parents. You don't have any problem understanding here in the scenes with Aunt T., etc. The pool scenes were exteriors, which almost always have looped dialog and the other 3 actors in the pool scenes dubbed their own dialog, so I think that Mary B. just wasn't available at the time of the looping sessions and they got June to do it.

Sorry Monster Bob!  Not Rocket J. Squirrel and her other cartoon credits i think of my favorite girl when I hear her voice  (Get ready because I'm gonna go way overboard on this):










And don't forget the custom Chatty that my son Neil made for a friend that was a Kiss fan

Nearly every Twilight Zone episode is a classic. My top favorites include--

Eye of the Beholder
Time Enough At Last
The Monsters are Due on Maple Street

and

Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge
You knew the job was dangerous when you took it, Fred.

Unknown Primate

... and, oh yeah, WILL THE REAL MARTIAN PLEASE STAND UP?  That third eye kinda freaked me out when I first saw it.

WOW!! I'm amazed at how many people know "Howling Man"!! whenever I try to explain that episode to someone I get a dazed look...yet that has GOT to be all time best "leave you haunted" episode- especially for its religious connotation - cuts to the very core! And just now realizing it was John Carradine - I can finally sleep at tonight -- been wanting to know forever -- I thought it was Peter O'Toole for the longest time but realized it wasn't.

Another all time FAVORITE is "The Printer's Devil" with Burgess Meredith as the devil, Robert Sterling  and Pat Crowley -- creepy!!! the whole concept is unique, and triggers my curiosity to date (headline manufacturing...) and seeing that old Linotype in action and on film is like nothing ever seen before or since - yet another clever TZ "machine" as a main character! I love the crooked cigar & self-lighting schtick, too! a little magic kicked in to drive the point home - that htis was no ordinary human. I still watch my old vhs tape that I recorded over 15 years ago - probably when the SciFi channel started the whole NYEve marathon. I still can't think of a better way to spend New Year's!!

...funny how we are continually ed in portrayals of "the devil" - even in our era of pop-culture

The Famous Monster of Mpls.  Sayer of the law.
