What are your favorite or least favorite episodes of the Twilight Zone?

I love the old black and white episodes of “The Twilight Zone” with Rod Serling. Among my favorite episodes are “The Hitchhiker”, “Mirror Image”, “The Mannequin”, and “Long Distance Call”. (I’m not sure if those are the exact titles). “Talking Tina” and the one about the guy who was finally given all the time in the world to read all the books he wanted (until he broke his glasses), are good ones too.

Some I find are mediocre and rather boring, but most are interesting. And they seemed scarier because they were in black and white (like the movie “Psycho”).

William Shatner and the creature on the airplane wing.

Burgess Meredith preparing for the end of the world.

No clue what their titles are.

My brothers insisted on watching The Twilight Zone constantly when I was little, and the show terrified me. I would sit and watch it with my fingers over my eyes totally freaked out and worried sick that these things would happen to me. I was so traumatized that I have not watched the show a single time as an adult. I know, I know I could have gotten up and left the room but I was a very lazy child. I have seen almost every single episode and while I can’t say I have a favorite, the two that stuck with me are the one where the lady is wrapped in bandages and the doctors are preparing her to look in the mirror at her horrible disfigurement. When they finally unwrap the bandages she is a knockout but is surrounded by pig-faced people and is absolutely horrified by her new looks. The other is the one with the book called To Serve Man. At the end of the episode reality sets in and some says “it’s a cookbook!”

I love the old Buster Keaton movies, but his episode on Twilight Zone was stupid. I recall him wearing a time machine had, and it also had Ed Wynn, I think.
There are so many great episodes, it is hard to pick one. The woman in the bandages, the old woman and the aliens, the civil war soldier escaping from being hanged. Without too much thought, though, I will mention the Billy Mumy episode, which I think was called “A Prayer For Bip”. Jack Klugman is a bookie who is shot, and gets a short visit with his son (who was just shot in Viet Nam), as a small boy.

My favorite episode was The Invaders, which is AKA The Old Lady (Woman) and the Aliens in this thread. ;-)

Deaths-Head Revisited is my favorite.

@filmFann isn’t there a Billy Mumy episode where he wishes people into the cornfield?

“I Shot an Arrow Into the Air” about the astronauts who crash land in a desert with only a little bit of water. One kills the other two for their water, and as one of them is dying he keeps drawing a symbol in the sand. After the two are dead, the one that killed them crosses a hill and sees the symbol the guy was drawing” telephone poles. They had crashed on Earth. He killed them for nothing.

I have seen all of these except for the Buster Keaton one. These are great. I’m almost done with season 1.

“isn’t there a Billy Mumy episode where he wishes people into the cornfield?”

Yes, there is: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0734580/

It occured to me today that the Billy Mumy character was named Pip, not Bip.

@filmfann That’s a good one too. It involved mirrors, didn’t it? Also, Billy Mumy was in another great episode, as a boy who could destroy you if you crossed him. I forgot the title, but someone ends up being turned into a musical box clown in it.

Same one brian mentioned

To Serve Man. That one’s awesome.

@Brian1946 @filmfann Yes, that’s the one. Watching it gave me the shivers! Yikes.
