I've watched almost all of it but for whatever reason I can never rewatch them.
And I'm usually a rewatch kinda guy. I dunno. Twilight Zone lost its charm after the first time for me

Was really scared I almost traumatized him, but he'll be watching the marathon tomorrow too. He loves twilight zone and we talk about episodes he just saw for the first time now. Really cool getting to watch stuff with or hear about the first time he sees classic episodes.
i fell in love with her in this episode in like 2008. she remind me of my two favorite exes. one was recently arrested for strangling her husband, the other became a strict lesbian who is digusted by men. i'm not sure what this means.
A cognitively malfunctioning cypher who's failed up his entire life becomes the most powerful man in the world and unleashes a massive wave of unprecedented destruction everyone can easily blame on his obvious deficiencies. The twist: he's a puppet, but whoever's pulling his strings is never revealed on screen.
Imagine, if you will, a man whose work is to clean up after others: a janitor. There's nothing very out of the ordinary about most custodians, but what if there were a janitor who worked for free? A man who received no money, praise, or status for his work--it may sound impossible, but such a person does exist in the furthest reaches of... The Twilight Zone.
An old sport fisherman is trying to reclaim his youth and go out of his hobby with the biggest fish he's ever caught. He gets word of a massive sailfish that three men have already gone missing trying to capture. He sets out on his quest. Quickly, things go wrong. He loses some supplies, and the weather is bad. He decides not to turn back. Eventually, he sees the great fish and has a battle with it, but loses. Then another, and another. Each time getting closer to it, and he thinks he's going insane as notices odd things about the fish. Eventually his engine dies and he will die, but he has to capture it. He has a final battle and gets it aboard. Feeling triumphant, he can accept death. The he notices the fish has lights or some shit. It's actually a lure for like aliens, I guess. He's abducted. Fin.
A rouge AI escapes from the intranet on a remote military base and it decides to create an android body, eventually it forms a family but some of the old military people finally track it down and deactivate it while the family members plead for them to not kill their daddy.
There is a loner who lives in a small apartment in the city. He’s overweight, obsessed with the Internet, and addicted to pornography. All he wants in life is to be the one who feels desired instead of being the one who always desires. Like the attractive women he jerk offs to. What if he were to become the woman? Wear women’s clothing, apply loads of makeup, and bully others into accepting a female identity for himself. Would he finally be embraced by the world? Is such a bizarre society even possible? Find out, in the Twilight Zone.
He'd probably think that South Korean society was predicted by Number Twelve Looks Like You, first off. In all seriousness, the original show was never really anti-consumerism, and the role of technology shaping social inclinations was still regulated to what science fiction could come up with, usually relating to robots and so-on. He would probably consider television to be a dead medium given the state of cable (ironic, given the Twilight Zone's airing history being deeply tied to the invention of the re-run), and would likely find modern America's relationship with war and conflict to be fundamentally disgusting.
Why can't anyone make shows like they did in the 60s? Everything just feels so bloated and over done. All you need is a couple cameras for basic shots, tight dialogue, and simple but good sets. It feels like TV has been chasing films for so long, but they don't need to.
I remember there being a Twilight Zone pasta of Rod Sterling narrating anon in the Twilight Zone and I can't find it anymore. It got the tone very well.
Notice that the theme of TZ is that traditional American values and institutions are bad. Including marriage, family, etc. The subversion has been around a long time.
Really? There's like half a dozen episodes centered around nostalgia (A Stop at Willoughby
is literally about a guy wanting to go back to a Twainian bucolic past, just off the top of my head), and there's several stories where people who get tangled up with the supernatural elements who are down on their luck end up benefiting from it somehow. There's plenty of families and marriages that are portrayed positively, but there are several episodes featuring dull and angry people who happen to be married which are focused upon, and young unmarried or recently married couples generally don't make it out well by the end of the episode. While I don't have a fricking spreadsheet in front of me, the most consistent bias present in the series is that wealthy people are generally portrayed as snobs and rarely make it to the end of the episodes they are in 'unpunished', while small businesses and people 'trying to make it in America' who don't become criminals generally make it out alive. If you think the Twilight Zone is somehow anti-American, go watch Perry Mason or the Alfred Hitchwiener Hour.
Interesting that you mention nostalgia because this is a recurring theme and the lesson is always that it's bad and the takeaway is that even our most cherished memories are invalid. I don't claim encyclopedic knowledge of TZ by any means but I can't think of any happy families.
>I can't think of any happy families.
There's the aliens that move in next door and look like greasers episode. That family was happy and didn't have any issues. There was the fake nuclear bomb scare episode where it's all about people doing what they can for their family and putting them first above everyone else. There are tons of happy families thrown into bad situations, but it's also fiction and taking characters in a bad situation and making it worse is an easy story device to get you invested in a character or characters.
It's not really portrayed as bad, but there's no episode where looking towards past memories for support is portrayed as something practical to do. Really, almost all the episodes about nostalgia being bad focus on older individuals recalling when times were simpler; I think the one that covers that the most is The Incredible World of Horace Ford and Walking Distance, both coincidently about people in 'modern business'' alternatively thinking back to when they were inspired to do what they do as a child and a businessman genuinely recalling his childhood and gaining inspiration to move foreword with his life.There's also The Trouble with Templeton, which might be closer to what you are recalling, but even then it's something that inspires the main character to move foreword with his life. The only episode that I think really qualifies as 'nostalgia bad' would be Young Man's Fancy, which is really more about how immature someone would have to truly be to desire to still be a child pampered by a domineering mother.
>An unfortunate alcohol problem dogged Jean's career for many years. Active with Alcoholics Anonymous, she eventually retired from Hollywood in the early 1980s and moved to the Palm Springs area to be closer to family. There she appeared occasionally in such local theater productions as "The Elephant Man" and "Steel Magnolias." Jean had been in spiraling health since suffering a paralytic stroke in September of 2005. She died in a Palm Desert convalescent home on November 2, 2005, at age 82.
There's so many good genre episodes, it's kind of hard to pick a singular episode; although, I think Five Characters in Search of an Exit still holds up. Other contenders include The Obsolete Man and It's a Good Life.
Is Night Gallery any good?
It has its moments of kino. Not as good as TZ but a shit ton better than any TZ project after Rod died.
Yes
They're Tearing Down Tim Reilly's Bar is one of the best things Serling ever created
Frick yeah brah! Just filled my 48 oz. yeti with cherry red and baking two boxes of pizza rolls!
reminder to watch the 80s twilight zone and tales from the dark side if you haven't seen them
Anyone have a link to a stream of the marathon? Those nye tz marathon watching threads are among the comfiest on Cinemaphile.
Everything in Twilight Zone has already been done better in The Outer Limits. The best TZ episode is only as good as the weakest TOL.
Anything remotely good on Outer Limits was done better in Alfred Hitchwiener Presents. Pleb.
Alfred Hitchwiener was lame shit for gays. Imagine making a movie about bird, fricking gay.
Based. I'm pulling for you, anon. Post after every episode and I'll bump the thread for as long as I can. Break the Twilight Zone marathon record.
Howling Man just ended.
I've watched almost all of it but for whatever reason I can never rewatch them.
And I'm usually a rewatch kinda guy. I dunno. Twilight Zone lost its charm after the first time for me
I keep getting distracted by how beautiful the women are in this show
I always get distracted by Robert Redford out of the middle of nowhere.
Was there a hottie in every episode, like even the ones about guys stranded somewhere?
Not quite
Yes, a robot hottie.
The girl from The After Hours a cute
But an ad
Made for BPFC
I gasped. She's way more disgusting than I thought she was going to be
Pig face hands typed this
It's weird watching her in this episode because I'm too use to her hillbilly accent
Based superstitious Shat episode

I just smoked a huge joint and it’s just like watching them all over again for the first time.
Wasn’t this lady on Andy Griffith?

The Vidya Butts episode is a classic, forever relevant to society

Wasn't that an episode of the outer limits, just replaced with a robot instead of AI? Could've sworn I've seen that somewhere.
Wouldn't be surprised, I'm just going off the top of my head.

Dude!
What if that was real life? Wouldn't that be frickin creepy?
Ends with a reality merge.
make sure to watch the modern adaptation
I don’t get this episode, her dad doesn’t want to go out to eat?
What would Serling think of 2023?
That it's gay
He would wonder why film quality went to shit. The Zone is crisp.
hed think he was in the twilight zone
Would he vape?
Of course, he'd probably think it's the coolest shit ever. The real question is, would he get a juul or a robo dick the size of his head to suck on?

You're kind of pathetic. You seem like you should on the troony side of /reddit/twitter/.

Currently playing..one of the best and underappreciated
There are boomers who still have cable?
Yes they're also things called streaming

I think the only genuinely unhappy family that has a young child is the one in the Talking Tina episode.
For fricks sake it's a guy who actually causes the magic of christmas to happen.
Also the bickering couple with a magic swimming pool the kids escape in. There are many, many more.

I dressed up as Santa for my nephew and I thought I would feel like the hobo from The Night of the Meek but he just screamed a lot
Wait did the marathon start already?
I hate this chick's voice
She’s a fun girl from Mt. Pilot.
I enjoy her voice
I thought she looked familiar

Alright haha

What's the best episode from the first 5 seaons? I have them all saved but haven't watched in a long time
There's so many good genre episodes, it's kind of hard to pick a singular episode; although, I think Five Characters in Search of an Exit still holds up. Other contenders include The Obsolete Man and It's a Good Life.
My faves are Perchance to Dream and Will The Real Martian Please Stand-up.
Honorable mention, Of Late I Think of Cliffordville for Julie Newmar.
And now Rod is shitting on Santa Claus.
He literally finds a magic Christmas bag.
the episode with the sun scares the frick out of me
felt unusually paranoid watching this too
Worst twist of any episode
>Akhsully we're going away from the sun
Has anyone ever caught the episode “The Encounter”?
I've seen it. In my opinion, it is just an okay episode
>tfw Miniature
