    Twilight Zone Marathon...Name you favorite episode

    A 40-hour marathon of "The Twilight Zone" will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. July 3 and from 8 a.m. to 4 a.m. July 4-5 SyFy Channel.

    What is your favorite episode?

    Mine is "I am the Camera" Husband and wife have a camera that will predict the future and they go to the horse track and take a picture of the tote board. Classic.

    oakas:

    Think we used to discuss this on the other board. Yeah, "The Camera" always makes me think they should have been betting exotics. Send in those Superfectas and Tris.

    "The Mask" is a classic. Also liked the one w/ the bus and the bridge going out.

    Hope you're good, man.

    oakas, pretty good. I can't complain at all.

    Other board really dried up, looking for an outlet to shoot the bull over here. I think Dell Dude killed the other one.

    Take it ez, bro. I'll be sure to take in some of the Twi Zone episodes this wkend.

    One other classic = the bet on "Can you go a year w/o speaking?"

    SO MANY GOOD ONES TO CHOOSE FROM! The first one that comes to mind for me is one called "The Nick of Time" with William Shatner. A couples car breaks down and they go to a small diner while their car is getting repaired. While at the diner they put Pennies into a little Devil type thing and ask it questions... this episode is great.

    I'll probably think of another episode I like more within the next 5 minutes.

    Eye of the Beholder(a woman is getting plastic surgery on her face because she thinks she looks like a freak. Truth is, she's beautiful... at least most humans would consider her beautiful. But she is ugly in the world she lives in) is another great one... I am the Camera is excellent as well.

    Donna Douglas (Ellie May Clampett) on The Beverly Hillbillies was the beautiful girl.

    Yes, Eye of the Beholder one of the better ones.

    I also like the one in the plane with "There's a man on the wing ..." - I think that was Shatner

    There are so many great episodes but I am particularly fond of the few that Burgess Meredith stars in.

    the camera one appeals to gamblers, but alas there were no trifecta's or superfecta's in the 60's when this was filmed. the only multiple wager that existed was the daily double. the perfecta wasn't even invented until the mid 60's and it was exclusively on the last race. roosevelt raceway was the first track to expand this by offering 4 perfecta's on their card around 67-68..they finally figured out(it took them forever) they could do this on every race and also introduced the trifecta. etc.

    I love the episode where they think they are about to be nuked, and only one family has a shelter to survive it. Everyone in the neighood thinks they deserve to be in it, but the family says it can not fit much more then the family. Needless to say people panic and say , well if we are going to die, so are you. But turns out it was just all a test.
    The Shelter
    Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swGpvc5JdJU
    Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WC2LP...eature=related
    part 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjZS0...eature=related

    I also like, An occurrence at owl creek bridge. (IMO one of the best short picture's ever)
    Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8gn1aPRVRw
    Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26MiP...eature=related

    The wish you into the cornfield spoiled brat episode!

    It's life imitating art where the little spoiled rotten kid has the power to wish logical and practical thinking people away who don't give into his far fetched demands.Obama was probably 3 years old when that episode was made but damn,Obama is that kid.Boehner better watch out,he will be wished into being the jack in the box by Obama.The media treats Obama like the chicken sh^t adults did who didn't want to offend the kid where they worried about being retaliated against being wished away.
