Not having seen the TZ before, I youtube'd one of the original episodes, The Obsolete Man.

Interesting - I had no clue the show was originally shot in b/w. This is getting me excited! I might enjoy this fest after all.

So, after watching my first, what's your favorite episode?
 
The one where the dude stops time with a stop-watch whenever he pleases. Of course, there is an ironic twist at the end but I won't spoil it for you. Sorry I can't remember the name of the episode but the guy takes a bite of someone else's doughnut... great stuff.

:beer:
 
The episode "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" with Bill Shatner as a salesman on a plane who sees a gremlin on the wing is my favorite. I'm one of the few around here to actually see the damn episodes when they premiered. I was 10 and all the televisions were black and white back then. Scared the bejeezus out of me.
 
Time Enough At Last
Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge
To Serve Man
The Silence
Eye of the Beholder

Some of my favorites. :)

I totally agree. This one was so good that they remade it. It is funny when people say that William Shatner can't act. He was wonderful in this episode. What was that other one he was in?

And... I'm so old I saw it when it was new too! :crybaby:
 
I've seen so many but I can't remember titles other than the famous ones.

I like Eye of the Beholder a lot. The episodes that make social commentary while also being entertaining are the best ones to me.
 
I like the one where the lady is getting attacked by little aliens and at the end we find out the aliens are american astronauts. That one was cool.
 
Yeah, Nick of time is probably my fav too. I've made several references to it in discussions about this fest. Probably the best written one, really riding the line between is it real or not. The writing's so good, not even Shatner can kill it. :)
 
Well here are my top 5... Of course I don't remember ever disliking any episodes of the show. I used to watch the marathon ever year and would stay up all day and night just so I wouldn't miss one.

1. Stopover In A Quite Town
2. Nightmare At 20,000 Feet
3. Mr.Dingle, the Strong
4. Eye Of The Beholder
5. To Serve Man

I have a ton of other favorites but I guess I would say my next two favs would be.

1. The Hitch-Hiker
2. And When The Sky Was Opened

Thanks for this thread it made me think real hard about this awesome show and got me amped up to pull off something great.
