There are lots of episodes that I haven't seen yet, but some of my favorites are Living Doll, The Hitchhiker, Time Enough at Last, The New Exhibit, and The After Hours.

No way I can pick just one favorite. I have several:

  1. And When the Sky was Opened...
  2. The After Hours
  3. It's a Good Life
  4. Time Enough at Last
  5. A Stop at Willoughby
  6. Eye of the Beholder
  7. Number 12 Looks Just Like You
  8. The Midnight Sun
  9. The Hitch-hiker
  10. A World of Difference
  11. Stopover in a Quiet Town
  12. To Serve Man
  13. Living Doll
  14. The Masks
  15. Deaths-Head Revisited
  16. Five Characters in Search of an Exit
  17. Queen of the Nile (so bad it's good!)
  18. Changing of the Guard
  19. Person or Persons Unknown
  20. Twenty-Two

This is just my personal Top 20 list, but I love so many more episodes.

"Nightmare at 20,000 Feet", "To Serve Man", "The Little People", "Two", all come to mind.

"Nothing in the Dark", "Perchance to Dream", "The Last Flight", "Miniature", and "In His Image" are all the bomb.

i just have to agree with MadeUpMelly, its very hard to pick a favorite. its really interesting to see your different and often unexpected picks. okey, a few i like... "the lonely", "time enough at last", "where is everybody"... but really i could list the entire series, also my thoughts on this are based on listning to the radio versions which are often 25 minutes longer than the tv episodes.

  1. a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind.
  2. a journey into a wondrous land of imagination.
  3. next stop, the twilight zone."_watch door

"Where is Everybody" is probably the best pilot episode of any television series ever. It's beautifully shot and addresses nearly all the themes -- paranoia, isolation, loneliness, dreams, the unknown -- the show would become famous for.

those are great points DullStupidClod.. why that didn't sound stupid at all... your comment will probably stick in my mind next time i watch "where is everybody", and another similar episode i suppose is "one more pallbearer" with kind of those themes too. speaking of pilot, i have to add this, rod serling actually wanted "logan's run" (not a twilight zone episode but later made into a movie with micheal york who has since been starring in twilight zone radio dramas), but the television network wouldn't have an episode where they get rid of people as they turn thirty years of age as a pilot of a series.

So many good episodes, however, "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" and "Five Characters in Search of an Exit" stand out right now.

I've seen many killer episodes of Twilight Zone...not so good with the titles. Probably everyone likes "Living Doll" and the one where William Shatner is getting scared A.F. in the plane in the air. "To Serve Man" makes me chuckle. There was this one where this lady was in her place, and all the machinery in there was going crazy on her...it was really wild, a brilliant ep. I don't know its title.

So many, but my two favorites are The Night of the Meek and The Changing of the Guard.

I didn't know that about "Logan's Run" though I'm glad they went with "Where is Everybody?" since it was an original story by Serling and I'd prefer the pilot to come wholly from the mind of TZ's maker.

Rod Serling was quite a writer -- he had one hell of an imagination. He's one of my favorite people in pop culture, for all times.
